It appears to be the same account judging by the cert number comparisons. One of the videos started numbering down from known fraudulent certs and the books appear to be books that the seller has on their eBay store. So it is one person doing this. And CGC knows (objectively) who it is. 

if you go through the submissions are generally small like 8 or less books. i know it's one eBay store but i am saying the submission process might be more than one account to make it less obvious what is happening, otherwise this one guy is constantly sending in ASM 238 and hulk 181 in for reholdering (though i suppose the excuse he could use is "i wanted a custom label")

are we even sure this is all on a single cgc account?

who's to say this isn't a group using multiple accounts to further obfuscate the scam from CGC's perspective?

Yes, it now looks like the same person is pulling multiple types of scams. He has been found out, but not identified. I am sure there are more people out there. Unfortunately, even though CGC is essentially getting scammed also, they are presenting themselves as the authority here, so it becomes their responsibility to tighten up book security. It is also reasonable to say they should not be missing some of the things there are.

for sure. but if this guy has been doing this for decade(s) there's no way he kept it to himself. we are just looking at this one seller's history because it was caught and a starting point to search from, but now that people's antennae are up maybe we find another seller who can tangibly be found doing something similar. if there's 1 bad actor that's one thing if there's 2 there's no reason to think there isn't more, over the course of years.
