Hi @anyx
I exposed a conartist today: @ricegum
here is my post on the issue: https://steemit.com/steemit/@earnest/community-curation-and-exposing-conartists-in-steemit-the-case-of-ricegum
and here is the post by the conartist recognizing the con:

Well shit...
Actually opened myself up on that one and got played.

Stuff like that is going to have me not bothering to put much thought, effort or sincerity into my posts anymore.
Thanks for catching it anyways @earnest
she's not an identity thief (or at least there is no evidence of that), she was caught plagiarizing though. and now she's saying it was "just a test" for damage control to try and save her steemit career. the fact she's now trying to save face....means the face was really hers. so i'd exclude identity theft.
Yep, I have been following this too. The cheetah bot is not very advanced (I alone am coding it, and it is still in its infancy), but I am working on improving its capabilities. It just goes to show how important this issue is getting.
She is not an identity theft, here is a picture of her. But she did plagiarism from Reddit but it was just for testing, I dont think that she is that dumb and uncreative
