Candy and Marco the Royal couple? Ewww.
I can hear you asking - why would Bob be so extra generous with Marco? Well, Marco wore different faces in the giveaway, once it was fathur01, while at other times it was nizamcc, anshar, yeponlyone, TrollboxChamp, DeboraMeeks, nor9865, MikeCorleone, 2double0 and my favourite pierre11.
Most of these came to Marco in exchange for some loans which were conveniently forgotten, the others came from his 'buddy' like Candystripes (notably pierre11 and nor9865). He is usually a discreet person and hence prefers to delete the loan transaction posts, and so only a few small trails remain here and there to indicate Marco's hidden empire.
You know what fathur01, nizamcc, anshar, yeponlyone, TrollboxChamp, DeboraMeeks, nor9865 and 2double0 have in common? Their last post was on Jan 3rd, the one before on Dec 21 or Dec 15. Going back we find post number 3 is on Dec 3! and before that is our Bob's giveaway on Nov 23rd. You can go back even further and see how Marco has been collecting activity points for his non enrolled accounts.
anshar followed a slightly different path as it was enrolled in Nov, but it fell back in line when it couldn't get in
MikeCorleone is having a tough time joining the others, and its trust rating is not helping either due the perils of publicity.
If you want any of these accounts, or the numerous more which Marco has carefully collected and are enrolled in campaigns, ask ValueAccounts. He is offering a wonderful deal where he commits to beating the price provided by any other seller!
Don't feel bad for the accounts not in campaigns, they did their part to fill Marco's deposit box thanks largely to the biggest mixing company we have. Bitmixer used to have a heart of gold and paid anybody who took the effort of carrying their signature. Those days are now gone but a few of the accounts still carry the signature out of loyalty.
Bitmixer's was the signature which Marco forgot to remove, and was caught by Shorena who very unfairly didn't accept Marco's excuse and negged him. Our boy Marco was understandably furious and rightly retaliated. Marco has come a long way since that day and now glows deep green - its only a matter of time he becomes highly trusted and Shorena starts displaying the red warning.
Lets join in congratulating Marco on becoming Hero Member, his roots have spread far and wide, nourishing and nurturing the bitcointalk ecosystem.

Are you saying that Candystripes and Marcotheminer are like the king and the queen of this hidden empire?
I don't think so.
The howzar Marcotheminer saga started in May 2014 when howzar was banned for sending unsolicited PM's attempting to purchase bitcointalk.org forum accounts. At the time he was running the luckyb.it signature campaign, but was a very bad campaign manger.
Howzar even had an anti spam rule saying: "** I WILL ONLY CHOOSE MEMBERS WHICH I DEEM ARE NOT SHILL ACCOUNTS **". His own shill account however was enrolled as indicated by both howzar, and the owner of luckyb.it once howzar was relieved of his duty. He received payment here. Luckily Howzar was quickly banned and relieved of his duty of managing the luckyb.it signature campaign.
Fast forward to today, and Marcotheminer has gotten banned one more time. Him managing bit-x has not changed anything. He made a lot of mistakes very early on. His very first enrollee, got payment for 111 posts when he only made 63 posts as a full member. (username...transaction identifier).
Strangely enough, an account called marcoman22 made well in excess of the 50 required posts however it received zero from marcotheminer.
Fast forward to today, you will see that macotheminer has been playing reckless with money right from the start. He is using an online computer to store in excess of 20 BTC and using an online wallet that has had a number of security issues, so many security issues that it is not even listed on bitcoin.org.
Marcotheminer even paid some people that should not have been paid. Out of laziness, incompetence, or both he failed to exclude posts in the games and rounds and local boards sections. He gave payment to troleybüs who only made 36 posts, but was paid for more then 50.
Marcotheminer is breaking his own rule
Rules:
- All users who receive valid negative trust and/or are banned for spam or likewise during the course of the campaign will be denied payment.Marcotheminer received valid negative trust from BadBear for trafficking in stolen accounts and has been banned from bitcointalk but I have not seen any official announcement that he will kick himself out of his campaign, I do see that he paid himself when he should not have been paid.
This is not the first time that Marcotheminer has been banned. His previous ban was for sending unsolicited PM's asking to buy their accounts. If you do not know how Mobo is the same as Marco then you will just have to wait
More people seem to find it very odd that bit-x is trusting marcotheminer with so much money. This is part of what was received by a very prominent member of the forum

I have no clue if marcotheminer is him, but anyway, anybody handing 18BTC right away to a "sig manager" for a signature campaign is crazy. It's a sure receipe to being scamed.

Part 5: marcotheminer's alts: spammed beyond belief
So pistolpete is using a new account now? Why don't you talk using your main account? I won't judge your obsession for me (or envy or jealousy) 
. By the way, that screenshot looks old.
Who said I am PistolPete? It is everyday that you are making new enemies! I am glad to see that the infamous marcotheminer finally responded, are you going to deny any of these claims? Or shall you admit to your questionable ethics?. By the way, that screenshot looks old.Mr. marcotheminer, how many of your alt accounts has defaulted on loans from others? Be sure not to lie because I already know about several of them.

. By the way, that screenshot looks old. The story
So, this story starts when the guy behind DiceBitco.in disappeared and Bitcoininformaton (now Mitchełł) and Dooglus had to take over their signature campaign. The first thread was opened by Bitcoininformation and can be found here.
At the start of the thread Marco starting asking Bitcoininformation if he could change the signature, even though the rules of the campaign that we had to finish clearly stated that this was prohibited. This rule was enforced by Bitcoininformation and Dooglus, because rules are rules. After that he started asking (forcing) them to pay out right now, because he thought that was the way to go. Well, bad luck for him, because they had to continue the campaign (which Bitcoininformation later stated again in this post. That is what their escrow contracts said and what was asked from them. He was also expecting to be paid for his 350 "constructive" posts, even though the maximum limit is 200. DiceBitco.in said that people who posted more than 200, might be paid out for those extra posts, but this was a case-by-case thing and, well, they weren't DiceBitco.in.
After 1 day Bitcoininformation decided that he will payout, so that people have a chance to leave + the first ten days were over. He paid everyone (even those who dropped out/changed their signature/etc), that have a positive post count. Dooglus took over and created another thread for that, which can be found here.
-snip-
Yesterday bitcoininformation paid out all coins due for the first 10 days of the campaign, using up most of the 5 BTC he was holding. He sent me the rest, and I will use that to pay out remaining coins owed at the end of the month.

Now things are getting more interesting. Marco started to suddenly have a soul. His opinion was that stating in this signature campaign was unethical, because they were scamming users and was very firm about this. After which shorena revealed that Marco had two (!) campaigns in his signature, even though this was prohibited. He defended himself by seeing it didn't matter because it wasn't visible. Who is unethical now?
So, that was my part of the campaign, Dooglus has taken over and Marco kept him mouth shut. So, this was the tale of DiceBitco.in and Ma... No wait, there is something else, of course. 13 days after Marco left he created this topic. He wanted to rent his signature to someone and had the following slogan (which was removed, because Bitcoininformation told him it was incorrect):
--snip--
From September 1 to September 9 I made 357 constructive posts (counted and paid out by bitcoininformation).
--snip--

--snip--
Of course Bitcoininformation said something about that, because this was untrue. (Remember, he paid everyone, no matter what). So, he was lying (being unethical) once again.
This was everything I have to say about Marco. Just so you know, Marco has a -8 on BitcoinTalk++ (an extension made by JackJack that let's users vote on other users and adds a lot of extra features, you should use it, it's great). So he might be "trusted", but he is not liked.

Everything about Marco, except his history of begging on just-dice, and history of taking out gambling loans, but those will be the next chapters in this saga

Part 1: Spammathon: Brought to you by Candystripes (or was it Marco all along)
Part 2: Whatever Happened to Pierre11?
Part 3: Marco the account thief
Marco was pushing pretty hard for me to add him to my Trust list, and this all makes perfect sense now. Mind you, having multiple accounts is not against forum rules.
Personally, I would never add anyone to my trust list who explicitly asked. I can't really see a valid reason for such a request.

Do you think he wanted to be put on your trust list so he could give his own accounts positive trust? He has a very strange (and known) criteria for deciding who to lend to, do you think he is lending money to himself?

Yea I am pretty sure those multiple threads are against the rules (duplicate threads) as he is selling the exact same thing in the thread in his signature.
Another new thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--923758
Marco is working hard, even posted in his campaign thread yesterday through ValueAccounts by mistake before swiftly deleting it.
Moving it to Scam Accusations temporarily.
There has been a significant increase in the activity of ValueAccounts which has started creating multiple threads in addition to offering discounts. The account has been referencing Marco's campaign's rates and the new advertsing strategy of unlimited pay.
This coincides with Marco making a similar pitch offering unlimited pay. Marco has been posting this info in account selling threads.
I will leave it to the readers to decide what the reason might be for the sudden urgency.

I would also say that him posting in his own thread would essentially be a duplicate bump.

I've seen him quite a few times around here on these forums. IMHO he seems like a pretty reasonable and trusted guy. I admit this isn't the only account I have here too. I just registered another account a few days ago to announce the new website that I'm launching and to answer queries, etc. I know it seems a bit shifty, especially if someone has 10+ accounts, but it's not against the forum rules to have multiple accounts.
I can verify the validity of some of PistolPete's claims. Marco has questionable ethics, despite having huge amounts of green trust.
Maybe I'll spew some more dirt when I have more time.

Ah I see. Well, I guess as long as he isn't spamming with the account then it isn't really dishonest and not breaking any forum rules
He is engaging in activity which I feel may fall under spamming, but BadBear hasn't taken any action.
The dishonest part would be advising Candy to deceive the community.
Mate you have a lot of free time to stalk all these different accounts holy shit.

So he's been giving his alt accounts positive trust? That's kind of dishonest 
Somewhat dangerous getting so much positive feedback for running a signature campaign with this kind of activity.

If you are speaking of MikeCorleone, then that particular event happened before it came to Marco.
There are lots of other accounts which I think are Marco's but they are not as clear so I left them out. None of them have been giving or were given trust by Marco recently. It would be fooilsh on Marco's part to do so in case someone had kept an eye on his lending thread.

I am pretty sure bpb had a rule of one per person. I agree though it is questionable but not quite a scam. I think the OP is accusing him of scamming though.
But rules a user makes are not forum rules. People can make up whatever rules they wish for giveaways or signature campaigns but they're not enforceable by anyone other than themselves. I'm not sure what the op is accusing him of apart from behaviour he finds questionable.
Although some of the accounts do have somewhat poor quality posts so that may be a concern (I remember the last time the op made a thread about him, very noob level questions were being asked
