Evidence:
 * Both sockmaster and suspected sockpuppet are WP:SPA's active exclusively on Steve Scully, an article that previously underwent (disclosed) paid editing by the subject of the article. (See and ).
 * Suspected Sockpuppet account was created approximately 24 hours after sockmaster was blocked.
 * Both accounts have the same edit pattern, namely, modification of a sentence to say that Scully was placed "on administrative leave" instead of "suspended indefinitely" as per the source. (see sockmaster:, see suspected sockpuppet: ).
 * Both accounts have similar behavior patterns. They use the same username format (Surname + Occupational Title), do not have userpages, and are non-responsive to contact attempts.
 * Of the 28 edits made to this article in the last 45 days, two-thirds have originated from one of these two accounts . In other words, the likelihood that these are unique editors, who just happen to share the same agenda, is low. Chetsford (talk) 18:30, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
