In case if you don't know, there are over 1700 accounts involved with draining steemit's reward pool. Right now, things are getting a little out of hand, and something DOES need to be done.
According to @sherlockholmes, his accusation is:
"Randomly scanning the blockchain for suspicious activities, a chain of votes on a seemingly innocent spam comment caught my eye. 19 votes from accounts with random-syllable usernames on a days old comment on a month old post.
Someone's clearly spamming for profit. I really did not expect this to lead to such an extend as it did, though!"

This really shows that something suspicious is going on...But if thats not enough, check out what else he said.
Here are @sherlockholme's findings:
"Observing the activities over the past few days I was able to connect a huge network of more than 1700 accounts involved in this industrially scaled farming operation! And the number is still growing!
It will be impossible and boring to describe how I dug into this chronologically, so I shall describe the situation structurally:
There are hundreds and hundreds of accounts doing exactly what I had witnessed in my "Accusation" above. These accounts transfer their rewards over to a few hub-accounts, these accounts then function as an extraction point for the ill-gotten gains, transferring the accumulated money out of the platform."

This is just crazy, and something really needs to be done about this or it can really screw up steemit, but there is a bot @sadkitten which has been flagging that spamming accounts which is helping keeping it under control, I do believe there are also a few other bots doing the same as well, so hopefully we can end this A.S.A.P.
Resteem this to get the word out and expose these thieves!!
