All of his posts in his new account[1] have been massively downvoted. So they are not forgiving right now. His account shows 6k+ comment karma though. That's strange unless gold gets you some karma?

I'm not 100% sure how the total karma is calculated, but IIRC if you downvote someone from their user page, it does not really count. The idea is that if you're hunting to downvote/upvote all posts from the same user, you're probably up to no good.
