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.

I think you should read the
Reputation FAQ before you continue to make assumptions. A user can only give rep once they've made 50 posts. So even if your assumption that this poster is using the four accounts in question, they would be unable to increase each other's rep. Many longtime respected users of this forum can give substantial amounts of rep with one click. I can give a good 400+ points. So what this most likely means is, the fast rep accumulation is a result of a few reputation clicks from some of the top rep earners on this site.
