They authored the intro post and used every bid bot in town, trying to bump it up. Even after transfers the combined value of the two accounts is over three times the average annual Indian income. I don't think we need to feel bad for this person, this is cynical behavior plain and simple.

Yes but, the more it happens the more likely 'real' people will do similarly through social proof. It was more for dramatic effect, I still flagged the account.

That's part of the gamble of transferring hard tokens for soft up votes.

I haven't heard it put this way. I like it.
