 * Comments:
 * I have indefinitely blocked all the registered accounts. 125.16.137.130 is registered to the company and I have blocked it indefinitely as well.
 * There was no "first case"; the only previous report was Suspected sock puppets/Fioranoweb (2nd)
 * No additional action appears to be required; I have made this report as a matter of record


 * Conclusions
 * Perhaps you should ask a checkuser to identify any sleeper accounts that may be associated with these. I find that shutting down all the accounts at once can discourage them from making further attempts at evasion. You can file code 'F', block evasion, use a link to this report as the evidence, and specifically request identification of sleeper accounts. Additionally, checkuser will confirm the relationship and might identify any innocent party caught in the sweep, though I do not think that has happened here.
