## Suspicious Governance Activity

This account, [121NuA4xoHmNkG7R4vBdJKLemn6JH7TkC2EfAd8TMLtNNrA1](https://polkadot.subscan.io/account/121NuA4xoHmNkG7R4vBdJKLemn6JH7TkC2EfAd8TMLtNNrA1), has given out DOT to a collection of teams that have all recently verified their accounts. These accounts have all issued a Treasury Proposal which includes "payback" to the original 121N account. There is much copy and pasted text, as though it is written from a template.

If you look at these accounts, you see a common thread, as if they are following a plan - set an identity, verify identity, ask for DOT from the Treasury, and do nothing else.

Specifically, they all call the same extrinsics, in the same order:

* `identity.setIdentity`
* `identity.requestJudgement`
* `preimage.notePreimage`
* `referenda.submit`

The proposal texts are also very similar, as if they are following a template. Specifically, they all have text similar to the following:

----

This is my Youtube channel _channel_ which has over _number_ subscribers

This is my X profile _address_ which has over _number_ followers

This is my TikTok profile: _address_ which has over _number_ followers.

Note: The W3F registrar has successfully verified my X profile.

as well as text similar to the following:

When [asked about the identity of the 121N account](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/281#LdbVIUS8KeWh52OVuB8W), CRYPTOWENDYO replied:


*Hi Bill! The person who has supported me in this process prefers to keep their identity confidential, especially considering recent events in open gov regarding proposals from other creators & the associated finder's fee. I appreciate your understanding. Thanks for your comment!*
