Here is a little back that he "stole". His power keeps going down considerably due to getting flagged. I found another person he did this to, but that person had a little power behind him and flagged him. His previous user name was taken to negative reputation, so he started this new user name. That reputation score keeps dropping. He flagged me so I went to his "blog" (he really does not post anything, adding no value to steemit, and I then double flagged for every flag he hit me with.
If he put all this energy toward putting together a decent blog that added something to Steemit he may do well.
If you look at many people on steemit they upvote their posts and their comment. Just in my blog they do that. When I started out here there were articles about doing this to to help grow, and I did it all the time. Now I save those upvotes for followers.
Don't give up. Some people have issues that cannot be explained. In time it will come back to haunt him.
