NDC Elections Fraud Activity

Last few days I discovered some abnormal activity in lot of accounts and detected votes buying (which is prohibited 🚫 by election rules).

4f257ce2d4f8eba2d4079a78bd3285ccbd8fe6de09780d38b98bc7e9090c218e

2 days ago binance account transfered 232.5572 Ⓝ to our first hero 4f257ce2d4f8eba2d4079a78bd3285ccbd8fe6de09780d38b98bc7e9090c218e and he created keypom drop for 35 accounts (on 3.5 Ⓝ each) "ALL HUMANS RIGHT TO VOTE"

Here is a complete list of accoun's pub-keys

• Account sent 20 Ⓝ to jloc.near - then it voted for Fritz.

Moving from Grey to Whitelist Scheme (some of examples)

It's about moving accounts w/o any reasons from grey to white

• gerardosantana.near created 2 month ago.
• henryb98.near. 1 month ago.

All of them were created as childs from xabilosada.near. Identical Voting pattern. All sub accounts created 30d ago (greylisted).

• knele-cali.near
• fbozic.near
• mercep.near

P.S.

It's just my observation and is not a final list of accounts and cases. Hope EIC will discover all cases and provides detailed report

Here are too many mistakes, for example one of the main points is about Jloc.near who is my partner on a brewery we have this is known from the first project we launch on Near: CryptoBeer :).

I can't buy votes from followers that love my work. Many of the wallets you point out that get drop from keypom I made are from developers with Near Certified Developer from Near University, developers I onboarded long time ago when Near University and Near Hispano were in functions. Near Community is somehow down cuz there are little push from the Community initiatives, and NDC elections can show who built communities and did great onboarding work like me as you could check my gov forum profile and look for all the badges where I have a gold badge that prove I onboarded great contributors.

Another point is the blacklist people that only show that's real humans, and real humans have right to vote even against all the difficulties we face.

Again to clarify further: There are no such thing as buying votes from my side.

I am open for a call if needed.

Hi Fritz. I'm just trying to inspect transactions during last few days. Because as I saw the dynamic was clearly opposite to current.
The second thing - I'm not sure is it a legal form to create drops to fulfill accounts that will vote for your candidacy. And the drop was created 12 days ago - when election already ongoing

Fritz should be disqualified for vote-buying. All votes from these accounts should be revoked.

Violation:

Voting Time Series: Spotting accounts funded or created by specific entities that vote in a discernible pattern or sequence.

Hi Fritz. I'm just trying to inspect transactions during last few days. Because as I saw the dynamic was clearly opposite to current. The second thing - I'm not sure is it a legal form to create drops to fulfill accounts that will vote for your candidacy. And the drop was created 12 days ago - when election already ongoing

The keypom I created where used by my community of developers, developers that have Near Certified Developer certificate from Near University.

You are not sure and that's the same feeling we have around the community that there are unclear rules, we will need to figure it out all together.

The main topics are about to protect fair election, so voters are real Humans and Voters were not forced ot coerted or buyed to vote for a candidate.

That being said, thats the case now I am defending against false accusations:

1. The voters are real humans, there is no evidence of fake or artificial votes being cast.

2. The voters were not forced, coerced, or paid to vote for a candidate.

Let's remember I can prove that I am the founder of communities on NEAR just like you can check more than a Year ago here one of many proof I have: https://gov.near.org/t/forum-meeting-near-venezuela-members/13658

But there is no direct proof of me transfering direct to a voter, lets say less... buying a vote... no proof of it. As those keypom are used for my community on different activities decided by the whole community from the community to the community as we are all strong believers on decentralization: 2188 transactions on this DAO: https://nearblocks.io/es/address/near-venezuela.sputnik-dao.near
