Suspected sockpuppets

I recognize that this is an unusual request, and I don't know if there's actually anything CU can do here, but I'm looking at this edit and can't figure out any way Zangoose could even know the N account existed if they didn't create it themselves, other than the highly unlikely possibility of tailing the user creation log.

Zangoose has been doing disruptive things like filing bogus SPIs where one or more of the suspects has likewise made zero edits:


 * Sockpuppet investigations/RKROYAL23
 * Sockpuppet investigations/Yetusana
 * Sockpuppet investigations/Prof. SQ Sackey
 * Sockpuppet investigations/Michael Dyers

They have all been closed with variations on "you can't be a sock if you haven't made any edits", but this sure smells like somebody getting their jollies creating accounts just so they can open SPIs, etc, about them. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:09, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * you closed all the SPIs, so figured you'd be interested in this. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:13, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

 * ❌, although there are a number of sleeper accounts associated with the N account that I have now blocked. I do suspect the user is going through Special:Log/newusers and frivolously reporting various entries. Closing with no further action for now. Mz7 (talk) 02:22, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
