Hello, friend @inspiration. It's so pathetic to see more revelations about this individual as shared by a lot of users and your inputs also added to how suspicious the user have been along.

That said, I think the user has an accomplice (maybe some of the past members of the Newcomers' team) who helped him/her to bypass verification in February 2021, it's not that verification rules were not strong at that time. I came in January 2021 and I was told how important holding a paper for verification thereby I did it with other necessary things and all my recruits during the period did the same.

This user must have worked his/her way around the verification process, a call to everyone to be more vigilant to have a clean Steem ecosystem, I believe we still have a lot of them around. Greetings!
