In this project we will not accuse anyone, we will only show the information that goes unnoticed by the common user, and even, for the whales.
Report nº9
This report was send by an anonymous user about an information that he wants to share with the community hoping that it's name remains hidden.
These accounts were created and right away reached the trending page from the first day, because of the voting power and great influence of whales. Their votes, reestem and kind of popular-mystic created the popularity of those accounts, which were sock puppets. The only reason they are not active today is because that whoever ran those accounts screwed up and directly (without double-checking) copypasted some paragrahps, which resulted in over one hundred flags.
Now, think about it for a while... what if this were happening right now with a great quantity of sock puppet accounts, all owned by the same person who happen to be a whale-whales? Wouldn't that be a problem? Isn't that a lot of different from proxy votes? In that single (and unique) case, we are talking about both author (or suck puppet) and curation rewards (almost 90%) going to the same person and, the only reason they're getting all those big and great rewards, is because the accounts owners are whales and can vote for them out right away.
Multiple accounts, multiple sock-puppets, multiple votes, multiple rewards - all being influenced, voted, reestemed and paid out from the limited daily pool.
ONLY in the first 3 minutes of posting, 
If you watch carefully at the main whale votes on their posts, there is a voting correlation around 99,3% - over the course of all 16 posts. I'd say that's a logical and pretty obvious sign that their popularity and payouts were whale-driven. Either that, or they just had some amaaaaazing luck. But don'trust me - see the votes for yourself:
After only three minutes, silver and silversteem upvoted it
After another 20 minutes or so, another three whales did
Again, this was it's very first post and his subsequent posts received the same direct trending attention, only that ... faster. Here's the link for his first one:

So, we have these 2 accounts that got some really early whale upvotes and got really big amounts of money over all of their posts. When they were challenged on their sources and realism, they just cashed out and left.
They have not appeared since then. It may not be anything or maybe it is a serious problem in the system that needs a review and a deep exploration. I think it is necessary to know the stability and credibility of the platform, right?
- This is just the tip of the iceberg, we have tons of information that we will we posting eventually. Hope you guys can support us to make a more clean and transparent community.
