And what he's doing is not illegal or even unethical so I don't see the problem with doing it myself - it's just a clever way to leverage the system to your advantage and make money legally.
You're wrong. Of course its unethical to pretend you are something you are not in order to make money. Again, it doesn't matter if everybody else is doing it, its wrong to be an impostor. Its not a matter of opinion. You're just trying to excuse bullshit behavior to make yourself feel better.
Is your real name Nudildah?
So you're clearly pretending to be someone you're not and I doubt you spend time here for charity, you're probably doing it to learn and to use that info to make money.
You're being legalistic I think. He's doing what you and I are doing but with leverage with multiple accounts. Now, if he's using those accounts to launch a fraud coin and giving it legitimacy by using 5 hero accounts then yeah, that would be both, illegal and unethical.
But if he wants to use them to earn money and in some cases shift opinion and influence of a thread in his direction then I really don't see why that's bad.
I don't know, maybe you're just a better person than me. lol.
