RE: How Steemit is infiltrated by abusive account networks
Many accounts were purchased through anonsteem. It is more expensive but provides an instant account ready to be powered up, you don't have to wait a week to get email verification, etc.
Nearly all of their accounts are created through the Steemit faucet. And regarding that they created thousands of accounts this way you can say that the registration process is broken.
I just wonder if the abusers were spending that much on accounts. There's not much we can do to counteract that.
It does supply them with lots of avenues to move funds around as well as provide multiple exit points, just like email addresses can be daisy chained to make tracing very difficult.
