Accusation:
I was recently asked to look into the background of a flag-war being carried out on steemit.
The flagging was, as so often, sadly, only being carried out on the basis of personal views and ideological disagreements. That was really nothing that I would involve myself with.
But, in the dust stirred up by those steemians, exchanging their flags, there was something else, mostly unrelated, but without any ideological bias, definitely ill-intended:
Accounts impersonating young talents and earning rewards with stolen content.
The Findings:
Let's work our way up the ladder before we do the full reveal.
I'll start with some young pretty singers and songwriters from YouTube.
A week later 
If you've visited the steemit-profiles of these artists by now, you will have noticed, they all have a rather un-stereotypical interest in crypto-tokens, "NarwhalSprings coin", "Whaleshares" and the "eostalk forum".
I have contacted all three original artists via Facebook and/or email, but I have not heard back from them yet.
So why am I already throwing this around, accounts opening around the same time and pretty girls with an interest in "eostalk" certainly isn't exactly a crime. They haven't even earned much in rewards yet either!
Bear with me, and let's get to the center of this.
A few weeks before these singers made their debut on steemit, 
After posting about food for a while and with very limited success, he suddenly shifted focus and developed a passion for drawing about 2 months ago. His new passion seemed to resonate with the audience, he was incredibly talented right from the start, and actually started getting some good upvotes.
Unfortunately, the fun didn't last very long. Just a few posts later, 
But Alex was a real renaissance-man, so he quickly looked for a new hobby, let's try some photography! Talented as he is, he became a master quite quickly and has in the meantime specialized in shooting macros of insects with a cellphone.
Well... not exactly everybody!
Jerry Thomp from Instagram certainly isn't.
He was a little upset when I told him about his images being stolen by
So there you have it:
And yes, he is the one who runs the accounts for our YouTube talents
Of course, 
Hold On,
is there's a genuine talent involved?
Now Gracia definitely is a real person. She made some on-camera appearances for the steemit-open-mic contest and also involves herself in the #whaleshares community.
I must suspect that she's either the real person behind
It's a pity if someone with possibly honest aspirations gets dragged into the mess of a cheater and plagiariser, but it wouldn't come as a surprise to me, Rene from Case 7.1 did also open an account for his girlfriend who had been using it genuinely.

List of accounts identified in this case:
P.S.: I know, this post might come across as a bit sexist, but I believe that to be a major selling point of those fake accounts, so I left the undertone at that.
P.P.S: My 2ct downvote unfortunately doesn't do much against an account with 60 reputation, dear sea-mammals, please use your flags where you deem it neccessary!
