Very interesting. Underhanded and unethical are obvious adjectives. Thank you for posting. Free enterprise would dictate that once these tactics were exposed, the natural consequences would occur.
On a side note, there are accounts out there that really could use a separate accounts say one for photography and one for alt-currencies. How should one go about setting themselves up?

There are many users who already do this. Some of them are very open about it. As I stated previously - there's nothing wrong with having more than one account. The problem with the accounts in question here is the deceit through phony interactions and the collusive aspect of the whales - one of whom was behind the creation of the accounts. There's also the matter of additional accounts tied into these that exhibit the same or similar behavior and are also supported by the same whales. It's the pattern of deceit and collusion that makes these particular accounts problematic, as well as the number of accounts involved and the amount of payouts that are being funneled through them.
Anonymity is acceptable. Multiple accounts are acceptable. But transparency, and trust based on that transparency, will go a long way with other users and curators.
Thank you for your reply. Agree on all points.
