@axiomprime I can't reply to your comment because the conversation is nested too deep now, but the reason he (as well as myself and many of the other early adopters) has several accounts is that they were created through mining. When you find your first Proof of Work (PoW) block an account is created for you with the name you chose for your miner, assuming that account name is not taken.

Reddit/Facebook verification is needed for new accounts created by Steemit because those accounts are funded with Steem Power worth ~10$, but mined accounts do not get this initial Steem Power as they are created by the blockchain itself once you find a PoW.
