Yup, he is.
I guess it is time to reveal my real accounts as well:
Leonardo Da Vinci a.k.a. C3PO a.k.a. Samweis Gamdschie and JMorphin.
I also had one that was called bayfilms, but I dropped it.

multiple names is cheap IMO because you can predict 3,4, or 5 different ways, and one of them is bound to do well

Only 2 names, not 3, 4, 5... and both play very well! Look statistics.

Well that's one extra spot everyone below you gets pushed down by on the all-time chart. Seems silly we have to compete with you twice

Ghostooze, even if you look past the fact that it undermines the point of a rankings system, you do know that BOM's derby occasionally offers decent prizes to the winner? And you know that 2 identical sets of predictions bar one change to cover both the high and low bases on a tricky new opener would be a major advantage? It's not just that he's "not man enough," it's that everybody else playing fairly shouldn't have to put up with that.
I'm happy to leave the guy alone if it is "temporarily" as he put it and so long as I don't see a player called Jury Galimov picking up a DVD over somebody else down the line when BOM offers Derby prizes but, as it is, it's not just "his deal" if it affects others both in this sense and in terms of weekly rankings (and all-time should he continue playing with the Jury Galimov account) and there's nothing wrong with a few of us discussing the matter on a discussion board in a thread relating to the derby. Right place, right time. Anyways, that's all I have to say on the matter. Necronomic, if you want to keep doing it then that's up to you - I doubt anyone's going to go crying to Sean or anything and my lips are certainly sealed - but I hope that these points have at least given you something to consider.
In conclusion, here's a picture of a cow:
