Yeah I'm pretty skeptical that they're real people. What I think he did was started his thread and waited a little while so it looked legit and nobody questioned if he was giving himself feedback and posting on his own thread. Then, he made a bunch of new accounts to bump his thread and leave himself feedback to keep his thread on the front page and make his service look more popular. If anyone can prove/disprove this that would be great. Maybe getting btctrader to post the transactions would do this.
Here's another account with only posts on his service thread. He just posted on it too, must not of seen this thread. - https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/chadwicksr-358982

If the accounts are only posting on his threads and they are alts of him then he is effectively getting bumps that he should not get (assuming they post more then once per day).
I also notice that most of his feedback is from people who report risking bitcoin (meaning they sent first) but I don't see any indication of him sending feedback to any kind of escrow services (implying that escrow was not used). I would somewhat doubt that that many people would be willing to send first with him without escrow - his trust level is not that high.

Yeah man, I noticed that too (well since you pointed it out). Seems a bit fishy.
I've noticed a lot of new accounts that have only been posting on Shdvb's thread for months, saying how good his service is. I found this weird that the only place they post is on his thread. They give him feedback all the time too. He could be doing this to make his service look more popular and keep it at the top by faking trades and feedback. The site he comes from has a reputation for the large sellers hiring people to fake feedback and vouches and post on their threads to keep them at the top to get more sales and have an unfair advantage over the others.
