Suspected sockpuppets

This is either a sock or meat account of user Jinahpol. The master was blocked for undisclosed paid editing at Jordan Nash and then disappeared for some time and then user AntheaNash was registered a few days back and created the same article. Their first edit was to disclose their conflict of interest on their user page and then posted a well-formed draft in single edit with +10,095 bytes which is not at all possible for a brand new user. This is either directly Jinahpol or a meat account working on their instructions. Pinging the blocking admin who has seen the off-wiki evidence.

 * Please note that the username for the suspected sock indicate a close connection to the subject and was the same person who hired Jinahpol to create "Jordan Nash" so, this is either an attempt to game us or it's really "Anthea Nash" editing on the instructions of the master (hired freelancer) to get through the review process which is a violation of WP:MEAT.

 * Points to note: The suspected sock on their talk page claimed they write the article themselves which is not the case because it is the exact copy of the one created by the master earlier . They then claimed that Earlier I did appoint a guy for the Wikipedia page who took my money and scammed me, never heard from him after the payment. but as per off-wiki evidence, the same freelancer is still hired and still working on the page. Also, their behaviour is also very aggressive just like the master when their edits were reverted by me. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 09:00, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * do you believe the article was written by them as they claimed twice? and it's not a copy of the one created by the master with some minor changes? Also, is it possible for a brand new user to create a professional article as their first edit without prior experience and they know how to change the access dates in sources to make them look like they were created on the particular date? those sources were directly copied from Jinahpol's version and were placed in the same order. I'm very disappointed that despite having visible evidence we are not looking at meatpupperty or WP:DUCK. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 07:31, 22 April 2021 (UTC) (updated 07:44, 22 April 2021 (UTC))

 * - I see two possibilities here. One is that this is indeed Jinahpol evading their block and pretending to be somebody else. The other is that AntheaNash is telling the truth about who they are. I'm leaning toward the latter, but I'd appreciate a CU double-check. If the results come back negative, recommend closing without action - Nash has disclosed her COI, so I'm willing to extend some rope. GeneralNotability (talk) 02:06, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The two users look to be ❌ to one another as far as technical evidence goes...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   02:15, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Closing per my earlier comments. I believe it's possible that the freelancer wrote the article for them and/or they copied from the old version of the article (the article was redirected, so the original version was still in the history). I've seen your screenshots of Freelancer, and the fact that the freelancer still has the job as "in progress" doesn't mean that they're actually working on it right now. Given everything I've seen, the sequence of events appears to be: Nash pays a UPE to write the article, UPE gets blocked, Nash comes in herself to push the article. While that is meatpuppetry, I am willing to extend some leniency since Nash appears to have made a good-faith effort to disclose. Closing without action.
