Background

A few weeks back @saracampero revealed How how ex crypto professors/greeter supporters abused their positions for reward farming. Recently I found an extension for this incident from another Sri Lankan user. This user had used the exact similar pattern and mechanism to abuse newcomer support and club votes.

How it began

This story is starting with the account https://steemitwallet.com/@shenu/transfers . The account had used 3 memos to transfer his STEEM,

exchange	memo
probitsteem	88322597
poloniex	kHk7AhqKth
gateiodeposit	0089b305ba84affd

And the similar hive account found with transactions to following memos

exchange	memo
gateiodeposit	0089b305ba84affd
deepcrypto8	107276059

I must say the about deepcrypto8 memo 107276059 had linked with 24 accounts used to farm votes in the above blockchain as well.

I checked transactions for all memos one by one.

To 88322597 with 100 accounts 2,691.808 STEEM

To kHk7AhqKth with 25 accounts 162.032 STEEM

To 0089b305ba84affd from 13 accounts 158.586 STEEM

To 107276059 from JUST ONE Account in Steemit and 3 exchanges

These three exchanges were probit, poloniex and gateiodeposit. This makes sense that some things weird have happened between these accounts.

Then when comparing the amounts transferred to each particular exchange memo and incoming steem to user @shehan8's memo, I was able to come up with the following observations which is completely identical to dilchamo and reddeleep situation.

Transaction from probit to @shehan8's binance.

Transactions from farming account to probit

You can see the transaction times are very close and also the total amounts are almost identical.

Transaction from probit to @shehan8's binance scenario 2.

Transactions from farming account to probit

This pattern can be found in all probit transactions of about account network.

---

Transaction from gateiodeposit to @shehan8's binance.

Transactions from farming account to gateiodeposit

Transaction from poloniex to @shehan8's binance.

Transactions from farming account to poloniex

I am not going to put screenshots of the rest of the transaction similarities here. But you should be able to find them easily via transaction search.

Who is behind?

Obviously, @shehan8 is behind this because all farming STEEM end up in his binance. When checking farming accounts you'll realize that all have completed the first 4 achievement posts and verified by @dilchamo and @reddileep always. There is a possibility that the above account belongs to @dilchamo or @reddileep or also there is a possibility to be @shehan8 is a third person who worked with them.

And also the accounts (@ameliani, @angelinee, @angelniro, @chawo, @gayaathri, @januwha, @ohas) revealed by @saracampero are also linked with above memo 88322597

@steemcurator01 @steemcurator02 please pay your kind attention as this user who is taking your frequent attention.

And it's a shame that people of my country involving in such things.
