RE: I Abused Minnow Support Out of Desperation, I Regret It (cont'd)
but when fraenk got a little aggressive
sorry... but when was I ever "aggressive"?!
To @fraenk, I am not, in any way, mad at you. I know that you are just doing your share in this community. When you sent my friend a message, I knew that it was the end of my scheme but it was the beginning of my repentance.
that doesn't match up with the train of events you're actually describing
To me, it looks like you are still dragging on a story here. The similarities of what your "friend" @renepaolo just sent me over discord and this post right here are also quite stunning.
I don't want to drag this on forever, but I still don't believe you... and if you don't man up and publish proof for the train of events (like what forum did you meet? screenshot some PMs maybe?) and your own list of accounts used in the scheme I don't see why anyone should believe you.
Is it me who has to publish the details so that everyone can know which accounts exactly are fake here and on discord?
edit: also this btw
I wanted to make a really heart-touching introductory post. I was thinking of telling the story about my grandfather's hospital bills, however, I thought that inventing a more serious condition will help me get the money I need.
doesnt make sense... when you had registered the username @hundreddays before... and that's what the sob-story is about, so the intention was clear before even signing up for that account!
it's insulting how you try to drag this on and not give any credible evidence of your story, nor a proper account of what you did!
edit:
I have just released my final thoughts on the issue, including the list of accounts I could with certainty connect to his scheme.
Due to your findings, I have gone through and found a TON of abuse from different users that can't just enjoy having a basically free guaranteed upvote and they turn it into greed. At least 4 other users have been found completely separate from this fellow.
What makes this even worse is that they only see the $$ the bots offer and miss that the monetary value of them PALES in comparison to how their accounts could be if they used the same effort to network and help others.
yeah, I am sure there are many more!
make sure to gather the evidence you have, we should really weed out all these cheaters!
have you notified anyone about this? please drop by the PALnet Discord and let us know what you found in the #msp-abuse channel
Heh. Yes. I'm one of the mods on there, so it's been discussed.
You guys are doing great work in improving this community and flushing out these kinds of scammers. Thanks.
heh... lol, ok ;)
It sounded genuine until I read your comments, I'm inclined to believe you knowing and reading about the research you did on these 'sock puppet' accounts.
BTW could you name those account for us to stop following/supporting, I'm sure there are many who would want to do this and make the scamming end.
Thank you for your diligence on this scammer.
yes, I had hoped he would come forward and release a list of the accounts he used himself... I don't really enjoy the thought of it being me who publishes a blacklist... but if he continues to drag this charade on I'll probably have to!
Will you go ahead and release the big list of his 'sock puppet' accounts....it will be a huge benefit to those who want to unfollow/mute or in any way stop supporting that kind of BS.
I'm sure many Steemians would support the release of 'the list'.
yes, I was still talking to him on discord until yesterday, he made some promises about donating the rest of the rewards to minnowsupport and such, but I saw the last payouts have been immediatly transferred to bittrex again.
I'll probably release a post-mortem on the situation and it WILL contain the list of steemit and discord accounts that have been used. The community has the right to know! I was just hoping he could be convinced to eventually come clean himself.
It seems obvious that wont happen (meaning donating the rewards), that persons accounts are just taking the rewards and runnning away with them. Stealing from the rewards pool.
Steemit community need to know the accounts to possibly flag to oblivion so there are no rewards for those accounts if they are still posting.
Thank you for your work about this.

Thanks. Totally agree that we deserve to know. I'd rather my upvotes go to people putting in genuine effort than this kind of lowlife preying on people's good natures with outright lies.
As a fairly significant member of MSP, I am sure glad I caught this thread before I resteemed the lie. Thanks for following up.
if you're interested, after his initial "apology" I reported my side to the story and how I stumbled over his scheme:
🕵 Catching a Minnowsupport Abuser - Blockchain Sherlock Eats Copy Pasta for Breakfast
Not really a drama chaser. I'll keep all this on ignore. thanks anyway.
I hear you! Even despite being generously rewarded for it... it's annoying to be involved in this now, but since I was the one who discovered it, it has also become somewhat of a mission for me to get the word out...
It'll blow over soon and I need to take things more easy maybe.
Maybe
I'm kind of famous in the Minnow Support Group for all at once being considered one of the most prolific guides of new minnows coming into the group and one of the harshest and meanest people the "users, schemers and cheaters" who cross our threshold will ever encounter on discord. LOL, Somebody has to keep it between the lines around this community, and guess what, only the real leaders will step up and do it.
KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT! (but only fight for good!)
This guy is horrible for our community. I can't believe he is accepting money for an "apology" about steeling money!
Everyone of his posts should be down voted and any sock puppet we can find. If he wants to START ALL OVER again from the beginning and actually contribute something of value then MAYBE he deserves an up vote.
