More likely, people sympathize with his explanation, and have accepted his stated intentions at face value, until actual evidence to the contrary becomes available.
All I'm saying is that it takes a long time to get fame. Also, the 'spread the rep' limiter is only to ensure that you don't constantly give it to a single person. If he truly has four accounts. He could alternate the account that he gives the rep to and in turn give himself far more then the limiter would normally allow.

Go ahead and call me paranoid, I just don't see a single person getting that much that fast with the limited number of posts that he has used. Even if he does get a good deal of sympathy. Besides, I don't hear a great deal of sympathy coming from the general community. Especially, considering that a fair percentage don't even give rep. It is just very unusual which makes it suspicious.
