Edit 1- Mod confirmation that the screenshots are legitimate http://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/2g8t9y/proof_that_mod_infinity_used_to_rwt_up_until_at/ckgqm2l
Apologies for the throwaway, but I don't feel safe using a public account for this. I will be attempting to stay anonymous.
Through a source that will not be named, I have discovered what appears to be proof that Mod Infinity sold at least 2 accounts for real life money (real world trading) a few years ago. Due to privacy things, I will not be publicly posting the links. If a subreddit moderator or jmod would like the links, I can direct message them through reddit.
Anyways, to start off, by using a web search tool, I managed to find the email that Runezone was made with. I will not be posting the email due to privacy, but a screenshot can be seen here- http://i.imgur.com/hqugj2A.png . From here on out, I will be referring to the email as Nathan96. Note that Runezone was created in 2010 using this email- remember this as you read on.
The second thing that the source gave me was a link to a RWT website. Again, I will not be posting a direct link due to privacy, but you can see a person who I will refer to as L8, tell someone to add him on MSN so that he can talk about buying an account. http://i.imgur.com/iExQW9u.png The email he gives is Nathan96- the same one that Runezone was registered with. I know that it looks suspicious that Im blanking out several characters, but I am trying to avoid breaking any rules about privacy. If the mods would like the links so that they can verify this, I can send them to you. Also note that L8's signature has 2 vouches- one for buying an account, and one for trading an account. Also note the dates of the account creation and the post.
Upon further searching, I managed to find 2 other posts on the RWT site by L8. The first one is his introduction- he says he is 15 years old and lives in the UK. http://i.imgur.com/PvXOw2P.png Note the date again. The second is him selling an account. http://i.imgur.com/64hTr34.png
The third is a wikia account L8 made. He says that he is 15, and that his name is Nathan. This was in 2009. In 2013, he deleted his user page, but the history of it is still there. http://i.imgur.com/xknCKzN.png
So, from this info, we know that in 2009, Nathan96 was used in RWT. In 2010, it was used to create Runezone. This makes me believe that it was not hacked, because i doubt that anyone would use a previously compromised email to make their site. We also know that L8 is named Nathan, was 15 in 2009, and had some sort of site called Orb Central, which is no longer online.
Is it possible that this was a frame job? I don't think so. There was no way of knowing that in 1 year, L8/Nathan96 would make Runezone, and eventually be hired by Jagex.
Again, i know that it is suspicious that i blanked out the email and name, but i am not trying to reveal Infinitys personal info. The mods should be able to verify that the screenshots are accurate.
Ok, so after i finished writing the stuff above out, i actually managed to find even more stuff.
The RWT site lets you search account id's to see if any share an ip. L8 shares an ip with someone i will call SupremeL. http://i.imgur.com/FiHOnvk.png
In this picture, you can find L8 posting a second email, SupremeOverL. If you do a password recovery, it says that the last 2 digits of the mobile number for the recovery are 23. These are the same numbers for the first email and Nathan's current email, so he most likely used the same number to make all 3 accounts. http://i.imgur.com/6My6rBL.png
In this picture, we see an account i will call Bee use the same SupremeOverL email, linking it to SupremeL and L8. http://i.imgur.com/i2GU4kj.png Here is a picture of Bee buying gold http://i.imgur.com/vnn6ydK.png
Note that this took place in 2012, 2 years after Runezone was created, and less than 1 year before he began to work at Jagex.
This picture shows that SupremeL and a 4th account called Dee.
Note that there are literally dozens of posts made by these accounts that i have not shown. If any jmods need direct links to these, please ask me as soon as possible.
Is it possible that Infinity has changed? Maybe. However, since he was still doing RWT less than a year before working for Jagex, i think that both his employers and the community deserve to know.
Due to the change-up halfway through, its possible that i may not have explained some things clearly. If you have trouble with something, please tell me so i can make it clearer.
TL;DR - RWT account uses the same email Runezone was created with, confirms his name is Nathan. It shares an ip and email with more RWT accounts. This has been going on since at least 2009, and the most recent one was 2012, shortly before Nathan went to work for Jagex. Its more complicated than that, just read the whole thing please.
Edit 2- Added a picture i forgot.

In all honesty, Infinity/Nathan can go f himself. If you guys browse Reddit, you'll have seen the shit that he does.

Ohhhh yeaaa can't wait to see all the drama that is stirred up from this!

Mod Infinity already has a shitstorm around him because of the runezone stuff. Anyone wanna place bets on how fast he will get thrown out if this is legit?

Damn! Must suck to be him right now, being 'exposed' and whatnot, not even his gaming gloves can save him now!

I'm curious how he even managed to get a job at Jagex. He clearly has no idea how to interact with the community.

Jagex clearly needs to do more thorough background checks.

Hah, this is almost 1 year after Mod Joke/Trance was exposed for RWTing for the displayname 'Joke' from sythe forums.

She was doxxed, humiliated, and stalked by bugabuse forum users who lived in Australia. I remember she actually stopped working for Jagex for a few months.

I have no idea how these people get hired, but it seems like Jagex does not have any HR department
Can't get enough of the popcorn.

—For immediate release—

"Mod Trance", also known on her personal account on RuneScape as "Joke", is a tri-mod. A JaGeX employee on her account, a forum mod, and a player-mod.

She has a dark secret though.. She's a RWTer, and she bought the name "Joke" on Sythe!


Let the Jimmy rustling commence..


Here, we can see a user named "Couture", posting vouches regarding the sale of a name "****", a trade of some sort by 'rarenameseller510', and buying a 'name checking program' from "Kratom".

As we can see, rarenameseller510 mentions the name "Christina".

In this picture, we can see a post made by her, looking to buy a few 'rare names'.
Her list contains the names "Christina", and "Trance".

MLC is a 'college' in Melbourne, Australia, and our friend Mod Trance just "happened" to go to MLC too!!

Interestingly, she also went(and is going) to RMIT University.
To most intellectual people in Melbourne, RMIT is one of the lowest-education university in Melbourne. It's all about Melbourne Uni, Gurl!

Here's a picture of her buying/selling an RS account for $250 -

The following pictures are purely extras, of Christina's RWT'ing shenanigans..


Here's a picture that she submitted to Sythe.org, as proof of a scam report...:
And the post where she pasted it -That also provides the skype name.


Here's her old twitter: RSOF forum posts:
And of course, previous sales of the name 'Joke'..

And a conversation from Skype..
https://paste.bugabuse.net/view/0f062e05


TL;DR:
" Christina Sahinidis ", AKA "Joke", AKA "Mod Trance", bought and sold RS accounts on Sythe,
Bought the name 'Joke' in February 2012, and got Forum Mod in October 2012.

As Mark Gerhard(Mod MMG) said, "RWTing" is 'ILLEGAL'(This is 100% NOT TRUE. Anybody that says RWTing is ILLEGAL(Criminal,Civil,etc.) is LYING), and a JMod is breaking the 'LAW'!!

">https://www.bugabuse.net/interactivedoxes/Trance/pics/5b9gR.png
She posts saying that she is used a Middle Man service, for her RSGP, for an account.
She also posted her email: [email]Christina_mlc@hotmail.com[/email]
The important part of that email is the "MLC" part..

On the contrary, I dare you to prove that Australia is upside down and the northern hemisphere isn't. ;)

It would seriously appear that Jagex doesn't do any background checking at all, lol… I mean, they probably do, but it's hilarious how bad they are at it.

I can't stop laughing at the hilarious amount of incompetence lol.

@Jake nice meme! It captures how I feel now :D

I also agree with Sin, she is kinda hot.

JMods should be held to a higher standard than players when it comes to following the rules, not the opposite.

Out of everything these J-Mods have done to this game, Real World Trading would be the most respectable thing they could have done. *Andrew Gower you will not be forgotten!*

:o Just saw all of this now. Dang where was I when this storm hit the fan.
Pretty cheeky if you ask me.. Although for sure an easy way to make some side cash.

iirc, this was what he did years ago, jagex sells bonds and…. jacmob!

yeah?

Yeah, Joe

O.O I typed this up yesterday & could've sworn I posted it. ty based auto restore.

From: Jake
Yeah, Joe

then, imo, this isn't a big deal. (and I actually have bias against him, don't like him from what I've seen of him (bad ways of trying to deal with people ingame, quite immature))

jacmob has been an absolute asset to jagex & he's come directly from the "underground" + bonds mean jagex themselves are rwting atm so I don't see why people on reddit are acting like it's the end of the world (unless it's merely because they already dislike the dude & would love to see him fired).

Do you think he spawned the gold in?

From: cbrems
Do you think he spawned the gold in?

If you'd read more than the thread title you'd know that this was before he was a JMod and that he was selling accounts, not gold.

Most of the moderators on RS are still young kids, not like 12 but still not young enough to be given power like that. Thats a fact simply due to the age demographic.

Of course this stuff will come to be. People do bad things when they have power.
