I've had suspicions about Akrumoftruth being an undisclosed paid editor for a while and today found evidence that essentially proves that this is the case (please email me for details). These two users have interacted on various articles: [https://tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/editorinteract.py?users=Akrumoftruth+&users=Charleslechien&users=&startdate=&enddate=&ns=&server=enwiki], sometimes within < 1 hour of each other. Further behavioural similarities should be apparent by examining these: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Akrumoftruth&namespace=&tagfilter=&newOnly=1&start=&end=] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Charleslechien&namespace=&tagfilter=&newOnly=1&start=&end=]. I can provide a more detailed explanation privately if this isn't considered sufficient for a check. SmartSE (talk) 14:50, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

• {{Endorse}} - As per behavioral evidence. Probably worth a check for sleepers, since Akrumoftruth has been around for quite a while. Thanks, GAB^gab 19:07, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

• Blocked Jriddlesmast for obvious spamminess - clearly the same person or a colleague; the difference is academic. Closing. GAB^gab 16:47, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

The sockpuppeteer was blocked on the 28/10/2017 and when i prodded one of the pages M13 (Investment Company) that he created this editor woke up after 3 years of inactivity to deProd the article. They have both promo-edited Vital Farms. Domdeparis (talk) 15:49, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
