Honigco was blocked for using a company username for Honig Company's pr firm and only doing promotional editing, and then at this diff a new user (whose username is the same as a person who works for Honig Company, according to their social media pages) states clearly that they are making the edit on behalf of Honig Company: diff 1, on the page Honigco was blocked for. The user's other edits include a promotional update to the Aaron Carter page after stating that they were Carter's publicist. That Honig is Carter's publicist can be seen here: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20131002005201/en/Aaron-Carter%E2%80%99s-North-American-Tour-Atlanta-October#.Uz8dsIjD9Ms. Jeremy112233 (talk) 21:02, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

While I see that both may have a common WP:COI by being affiliated with Honig Company, and may have an agenda to advance the company's interests, I do not see evidence that these are socks operated by the same user. I've left a warning for AlyssaRamos' talk page regarding dealing with COI.—Bagumba (talk) 08:52, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
