You are claiming that Popescu does not understand that handing his credit card info over to Apple for the other account, amongst other things, would reveal to Apple that he has a connection with it. That is an absurd claim.

Your evidence is his statement, which refers to a more specific technical use of the term "linking", namely responsibility for fraud as a combined "legal entity", the phrase that is used in the cited phone call. I will let the downvotes on your comment speak for themselves here.

I'm making the much more charitable claim that he didn't realize Apple would track the connection between the accounts. This is in line with both his actions and his statements. Your continued attempts to force your specific narrow interpretation onto his statement is absurd.

Your appeal to downvotes as some form of proof that your interpretation is correct is also absurd, partly because downvotes don't mean that much in general, but mostly because I have exactly one in total. So as with the rest of the thread your self-satisfaction seems rather unjustified.
