 * Suspected sockpuppets

Created articles for both http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attorneyfee and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._B._Komaiko, in clear COI. The User page for this account contains nothing more than a link to the wikipedia "Attorneyfee" article, and the "S.B. Komaiko" article reveals it to be about the great-grandfather of "Richard Komaiko", listed in the "Attorneyfee" page as one of its founders. The revision histories for the "S.B. Komaiko" and "[|Attorneyfee]" both illustrate clearly the COI involvement of this user in editing generally, and its close relationship with the "Attorneyfee" business (above and beyond the link on this users page), and indicates a possible attempt to avoid COI claims associated with this original account. The only edit the "Attorneyfee" user was able to make prior to being blocked involved restoring a deleted image to the Attorneyfee page. Besieged (talk) 20:02, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

I have recently also discovered that User:Komaiko123 also appears to be a sockpuppet of this account, based on not only the name of the user, but the fact that this user, along with User:Komaiko are the only two editors to add content to The Lawyer Market page, as seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Lawyer_Market&action=history.
