While browsing the trending page this afternoon, I found a plagiarized post in the number 2 position, with $857 in rewards (about 1350 dollars).
This is by far the largest plagiarized post I have caught in my 2 years of cleaning and likely one of the biggest catches of all time.

Revisando la pagina de trending hoy a la tarde encontre un post plagiado en la posicion numero 2 con $857 en recompensas (aprox. 1350 dolares).
Este es por lejos el post plagiado con mas recompensas que encontre en mis 2 años de cleaning y probablemente uno de los mas grandes de todos los tiempos.

nice catch

You are a man, among boys.

Nice job and it was impressive to watch the bot owners work together.

Good catch !

Trust no one... that author with a bought rep of 68 is an example of why we need responsible BOT owners.

Kudos for the prey, and also thanks to Marky and the wolf for setting an example to other BOT owners.

Diligent coordinated response!

I usually preach education, but this is a clear case of intentional abuse, those deserve no remorse exemplary actions.

Yes, we could call taking 1350 dollars from a plagiarist, an exemplary action, thank you Nathaniel.

well done 🙌

alas it is only a drop in the pond when you see users taking as much as with this account farming comments with high votes and this is only one of many accounts used by the same and i doubt they are alone due to the frequency and complacency.

I do what I can buddy. Please shoot me the network if you got it, Im in steemspeak.com

Flag copiers is fun. Caught a comment lastnight (i know its not a big fish) but he got a 100% upvote from my brother for a well written detailed description of the movie Black Panther. I investigated and found it was copied word for word from a movie review site. With the help of my brother we brought him down to 0 in 5 minutes lol

well done dude :)

Beep! Beep! @shadow3scalpel at your service. I am here to assist all military members on Steemit. This HumVee will be scouting posts from a list of Veterans that is maintained by @chairborne. If you are a Veteran and new to Steemit, and you have questions or want to join the Veterans community, reply to this comment. We got your six, unless you are in the rear with the gear. Ooh-Rah!
Comment by @inthenow. This is a opt-in bot.

If only the vote sellers could run this check. Doesn't look good for them to be supporting plagiarism.

That guy is a big self-voter too.

Excellent work.

Will be doing similar work with my curation service @thundercurator

@walden the post sniper!

Nice work by you @walden sir. Yesterday also I make a biggest catch for steemcleaner😀 total of 173$ for two post. This was huge for me because it was my first time🙂

Nice work man. I'm a bit sad I missed this unfolding in real time. I hope this serves as a lesson to both scammers and bidbot owners - though I'm not holding my breath.

Andas como te gusta!!!! jajajajajaja buen trabajo!
Pd: andas perdido que hace rato que no te veo, bueno yo tampoco ando mucho por Discord solo cuando tengo que hacer algo.

I do have a question, this guy obviously paid a lot of money to bid bots, what happens with this money?

He lost it all, the 368 SBD he boosted it with

So the bid bots get to keep that money, I don't see that as good.

yes, thats the price when you upvote plagiarism,
any other question? ;)

I don't agree with plagiarism, but some of these bid bots actually took away their vote, that doesn't sound too ethical to me. If you flag a plagiarist to oblivion good, but if you sell a vote and then take it away, I frankly don't even want to say what it is. The bid bot accepted the bid, so it's their fault.

Most bidbots have TOS that prohibit plagiarism and contemplate vote withdrawal if such is found.

Did I hit a nerve? That is kind of dumb you know threatening people, I actually give a fuck about what you do, all you could manage is fuck up this platform even more than it is already.
Puta y sos Argentino? No jodas, aqui he conocido varios Argentinos, la mayoria tranquilos pero siempre medio subiditos.
