The way I see it, the only way for a new user to get tons of Karma is to be given the same by another user who has significant amounts to give. The latter, then, would be a user who has been around long enough to have accumulated such Karma. And since he/she has accumulated such Karma, wouldn't that imply that this person is a fairly long-standing and/or somewhat respected member of the MR community?
So then why would such a person be a sock-puppet?

No! I certainly am not saying that about those with high karmas. The topic of sockpuppets simply came up as some reasoning, and someone asked what one was. High karmas tend to cause higher karmas is all (it tends to feed on itself with reciprocation).

Thought-experiments are often fun though, or "sexy" as some have said.
