Where did he claim so?
His avergae flags are over 2 per day just from his main accounts and then he uses his alt accounts such as ipromote, rollingbones, gamblingman to farm rewards from steemflagrewards on the expense of others.
In the past he also used badcontent for it and to spam and he also post farms with those comments.
He and the other kakistocrats do it with ned's blessing.
I wish I knew how ned took control over the platform.
