It's not "just created by another user," it's created by the owners under multiple false names meant to give the impression that it's multiple people (sock-puppeting) and that those people are not the owners (literal shilling.)
It's an obvious fraud, but the law is probably far behind. Who would sue unless there were some financial risk involved, and without financial risk who would even have standing to sue?
- nicky0 4y agoWhat would even be the basis for a lawsuit? It's just content on a forum site.

- nonethewiser 4y agoPeople are assuming it’s a part of financial fraud. Which it obviously isn’t. It’s akin to putting a fake pic on a dating website as far as I’m concerned.
