This was all very strange and the outcome quite surprising. It was the second request for a sockpuppet investigation concerning Rrrrr5, but this time with checkuser ticked. Maunus made the first request, smelling a rat, but nothing was found then. It seems that the accounts are all operated by one person, so at the moment it doesn't seem to be a hacked password.

CU evidence goes back three months. There's no way they could have told if the person using Spencer195 was the same one using it now.

Up to a point. If a checkuser is run now it can only go back three months. But maybe Spencer195 had been checked at some point in the past, whether for some reason or just because a CU felt like doing it That CU could have copied the results to a file and kept it. Or maybe Spencer195 was stupid enough to send someone an e-mail not using Gmail; then the IP would be in the e-mail header forever.
