I reverted edits made by to ; nine minutes later, =HT=Chief came along and restored 82.81.160.74's work.

One edit [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Banc_De_Binary&diff=567940376&oldid=567939908] by 82.81.160.74 said the "page was vandalized"; both of =HT=Chief's edit summaries make claims of vandalism. After HT Chief edited, there were two more edits from the IP address. It looks as though it could be the same person, editing while logged out.

The whois record indicates this IP address is used by a binary options company:

uploaded File:Banc_de_binary_ceo.jpg and probably contributed Oren Laurent which was recreated as Oren Laurent (entrepreneur) on 30 July (the new article has now been moved to the original place). There are indications that the Morning277 editors may have been involved in creation of this material; the indication that =HT=Chief was editing as 82.81.160.74 seems stronger.

The =HT=Chief account was made 12 March 2006 at 19:14 but the first edits from it were today.

Comments by other users
''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' =HT=Chief requested a change of username to HTChief, was also named in the Morning277 SPI, has been blocked, and posted this on User_talk:HTChief "Someone is attempting to remove factual information which I posted about Banc De Binary and Oren Laurent, and wrongly accusing me of being associated with an abusive account. If you review the history of the articles which I posted, they were not only factual and unbiased, but also reviewed by other Wikipedia users for keeping within standard wikipedia guidelines." — rybec   20:59, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

 * As a temporary solution to the page name breaking the bot-maintained list, I have moved this to the the other account name. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 19:57, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
 * It's possible. However, Longlane2012 is far too stale to take any action now. Feel free to re-report if activity resumes under that account. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:16, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
