Well, I know that you've nothing against having multiple accounts yourself:
themightyvolcano
cannibiscup
cryptololo
steemangels
ragemaster
plur
paradoxthrift
iseeyouvee
icecreamtruck
icecreamtruck
chicagobulls
letsargue
(likely more but I don't feel like looking)
- Yes, some of the above were drained of Steem and haven't been used in a while. Still, the point is that you personally are not against having multiple accounts, writing comments with those multiple accounts, and upvoting them. (Were these all accounts made for friends who also happily transferred steem/hive/etc. to you?)
I'm very confused why you feel it's an issue for Witty. Yes, he has multiple accounts. Not all of the ones that you've listed are his but many are.
He's been forthright and upcoming in any dealings that I've seen from him with both myself and others. (Granted, I'm biased because he's a good friend but I legitimately had respect for him before I had met him and WAY before I fell ass backwards into @thealliance.
Many of his posts even state that he has multiple accounts. Each for a different purpose. Some, like KillerWhale, Alliedforces, etc. were for the community.
I'll assume it's the same for you with Cannibuscup and et al.
Witty was PROUD to hit the top 50 witness rank. As well he should have been. I've seen him work his nuts off (lol I couldn't resist since you know...squirrel avatar).
I've witnessed his giving. I've witnessed his foul moods. There are people who have hit hard times and he's taken up collections. He asks our community about ways to get others engaged. He gets annoyed with people, like myself, who leave everything on autovote and rarely comment. Still, he tries to be understanding.
There's no problem posting who has multiple accounts. Not one.
Assuming it's all for personal gain though and not taking into consideration that having multiple accounts is only a part of the picture is rash. There have been so many transfers from his wallet (s) to those in need. To charities. To steem/hive meetups. And yes, of course to himself if he can. This platform, these people, are who he has invested his time and resources in. Time away from his family.
I've ZERO idea how much money it takes to run a witness whatnot. The funds have to come from somewhere. And for all of those who use the chain for their primary income, multiple accounts dedicated for specific purposes makes sense both financially and for accountability.
He's not here to milk the teat. He's here to make some money while doing something he LOVES. He's here creating so many things that he is and should be proud of.
May you take this into consideration for all your further 'investigations'.
