Some community leaders have turned scammers long ago and have utilized their authority/positions to cheat the system. Without much talk, it's evident such accounts were set up for the business of reward farming via booming/SC's upvotes.

Not too new to me anyway, some of the admins/mods' accounts have been caught a few times in a lot of abuses but nobody really cared about the red flags. Without any doubt, this occurrence wasn't coincidental in any way, it's intentional (well managed by community admins/mods).

I'm sorry to say, many of them have utilized a method like this for money movement while they boast of #club100 and continually drain the ecosystem via many accounts.

Thanks for the important piece, @bountyking5. It interests me always to fish out scammers, a clean Steem ecosystem is certain if every community leader is willing to be true and fight the course.
