2) Those users were investigated by mods.

I can't imagine this was some kind of widespread investigation - the original report was done by another forum user, and the astroturfers were here for a long time, so obviously MR mods aren't making a general habit of stalking users.

EDIT: Here is the thread that started the investigation (as far as I know): https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=217715
That's pretty much what happened, yes.
