Martonte was blocked for a bunch of problems including self-promotion. In 2007, the first edit by Martonte added the name Travis "Martonte" Kellman to an article, saying he was a student at a Brooklyn middle school. If he was around 13–14 years old then, he would be around 27–28 now. The biography Travis Kellman was deleted twice in May 2007.

T-Kellz created the biographies Kid Trav and T-Kellz, and was blocked as a sock of Martonte in June 2007 at the SPI case page Suspected sock puppets/Martonte.

The accounts Tkellman17, Youngtravie and Kidtravie were created in 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. Youngtravie started the Sanchez (singer) biography. None of these users were blocked, but all of them fiddled with Sanchez at record label articles.

Traviekellman was registered in 2010, and worked mainly on the Sanchez biography.

Yungtravie was blocked for copyright violations almost four years ago, without ever connecting him to Martonte. Since then, IPs from New York City such as 38.125.194.138 have been used to evade the Yungtravie block, and IP 108.21.176.3 was recently blocked for that reason. IP 96.239.60.43 was very active, following Yungtravie to the obscure articles he had created.

Articles created by Martonte and his socks include the following:
 * Sanchez (singer)
 * Template:Sanchez (singer)
 * Thriller U
 * Ghost (singer)
 * Glen Washington

These articles keep getting revisited by NYC IPs and socks.

Kidtravie 3 was registered last November, a month after 96.239.60.43 was blocked. Kidtravie 3 and 96.239.60.43 share an unusual common interest in music articles, including three created by Martonte socks. This shows that Kidtravie 3 is evading the block on 96.239.60.43. The six-month block on 96.239.60.43 is expiring soon. Kidtravie 3 and Yungtravie also share a common fingerprint of activity.
