@Peter68e1 Sometimes when this happens it's because the new account is the alt of an existing user, who then profits by betting agaisnt their alt. This is against the rules, though.
@Peter68e1 they won't do that, expect Jimmy Carter really died. There is currently a lot of suspicious trading ongoing from accounts with the same scheme. I've already reported it (and I've already reported a similiar suspicious case a few days ago).
@Peter68e1 Yeah @Biguy is a brand new account buying no without any reason as far as I can tell.
@Peter68e1 It is very suspecious and ongoing on many markets and accounts. Might be because he's trending on X today and there are some bad bots. I couldn't find anything regarding his health as well.
