If you follow the transfers, there are a lot more. There may be a whole ring of accounts calling eachother frauds just to phish passwords, although it is just speculation at this point.
Flynn: "yesterday Receive 0.020 SBD from zindin" flynn says report lovelygirl
Zindin: "Receive 0.020 SBD from steemvot"
steemvot says to report optimistic guy.
There is also a bunch of resteeming the same posts about a murder article from lovelygirl. It could be that they are just being paid a pittance to resteem a post, so I omitted their names but I am just stating an observation.
optimistic guy did leave behind an email address of orderdesk55@gmail.com in one memo. https://haveibeenpwned.com/ shows that it wasn't exposed to an organized hack. A quick google search provides some more info. Which may or may neither be real nor accurate. for reasons given way below, I think it is bogus. But there is real information later. Just the build up until we get there.

However, and again this is likely a false name, the email address shows up again for another "woman". A "maria Lourdes". Ironically she is trying to peddle ipage-which online reviews shows is a scammy host provider to avoid at all cost. I just looked at the review of ipage the other day. Here is "Maria's" facebook page. Maria Lourde is likely a false name.

This particular email address was used to to peddle hotel rooms on youtube a while ago. the youtube id is top ten. It is likely they just took people's money and ran, given reviews seen later.
From youtube user "top ten" videos and facebook, we see that for 11 months she has been using pvnorm@gmail.com also.
This time we get the name of a mail behind some fraudulent timeshares. A norman King. (the maria lords account did post to the nornam king account on facebook).

And there are many more complaints. Including this one which seems to give his middle name and an allegation of where he banks (or used to). Actinver Bank, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

and of course there is more, including from this year.

Oh gee what do we see here:
http://www.locatefamily.com/Street-Lists/Mexico/index-2163.html
- Norman King ROYAL PACIFIC YACHT CLUB
Puerto Vallarta NA 48335
And norm king is still using that orderdesk55@gmail.com email address. He claims he lives in London, I highly doubt that.

We also see another person peddling this email address. Named Sean Donahoe. He has a whole bunch of videos selling timeshares and condos using the same email address as norman king, we can presume they don't actually exists.
There could be more than one persons involved in these schemes, and so the people behind this steemit scam may not be normal king but someone he may have worked with at some point.
I am just posting what I was able to find online. Get the FBI,interpol, or whatever Mexican has for police, involved if you really want to. Trying to shut down their accounts really won't work, they will just come back smarter.
there may be an even older email account ( norm123@shaw.ca ) and possibly an arrest warrant from canada. Other post referred to him as a canadian retired in Mexico. There may have been some federal suits against him in the USA and canada in the past.
"In deference to the 3000 Norm Kings referenced by Norm King in his missive (actually15 N.Kings) we are focused on the fraudster Norm King aliases Norman Anthony King, Norman August Klause, google United States vs King 200F3d1207, King vs, ICBC, United States vs King 419F.3d1035. Currently he is on trial in two separate ongoing cases 1)Vancouver law court Feb. 1 @ 2:00 Room 53 for fraud over 5, 000 and false pretenses, and 2)Surrey court Oct. 15@9:30 Surrey court room 101 for assault and uttering threats. Google CSO/criminal for his court appearances. Mr. King I think the odds of there being another Norm King with such a colorful past being from British Columbia are very slim unlike you."
