Poor Malleus, he wants to run and hide, Don't you just feel bad for him? Options

Beyond this leaked email conversation, is there any proof on-wiki that they are one and the same? Any correlating edits or comments?

I think he admitted it onwiki or here. It's also not against the sockpuppetry policy.

... I mean about Malleus)

Has he been using, essentially, a sockpuppet account under William Leadford for the past 14 months? While continuing to edit under Malleus Fatuorum? Is that what has happened?

Well, yes. Malleus has been sockpuppeting.

And also under Numez99 as recently as a year ago.

And maybe others? Who knows? and many may be stale. Will the usual sockpuppet chasers jump on their horse, or is Malleus too big to fail?

Look, don't be such a silly child Chrisoff. (or, if you are a child, try and be at least reasonably accurate in adult company will you). Sockpuppets edit over the same areas to influence the outcome. Is there evidence he's actually done that? You need evidence to make that kind of claim. With Nunez99 he seemed to just accidentally edit his Malleus page (or deliberate, as he says here.)

This is all about secondary or replacement accounts. The leak has definitely effected Malleus' freedom of action, even though he's played it down on Wikipedia.

That doesn't seem to answer my question about Malleus.

The Stasi protected their informants especially when they had to go undercover.

HTHs

Will the usual sockpuppet chasers jump on their horse...

I hope not...my back is killing me from those jokers.

You forgot Jimbo Wales.

Well, the person who tipped Malley off on this leak used an Australian IP. That puts Doc Liber and JV on the hot seat. But the tip-off includes a slam at Iridescent, which could be a way for Iri to throw off attention from him.

This really looks like a job for Tiptoety -- we need a good faux-cop to solve the case.

An address that traces back to Melbourne ... hmmmm ....
