So after watching patiently and seeing no change in behavior I have had to take more steps in regards to seeing that Hgin is inconvenienced for his actions. Despite the fact that he is a South Korean national there are many ways to continue to see to it that he is correctly flagged for his actions in the real world with real world consequences. This can all be done legally and ethically. So without further preamble I'll go into what steps I have taken.
ANOTHER RELUCTANT STEP FORWARD:
So Hgin runs a online business that is hosted on a GoDaddy server which is based in Phoenix Arizona. I have also recently learned about a US connection with our dear friend which easily puts him in a position where he is supposed to pay tax to the IRS as well as to his own country. Firstly his online business called cryptocurrencytrends.info which markets itself to a US customer base and is run from a US server make him subject to US tax law which can be found under publication 519 chapter 4.
The second action I took was to accuse him of outright tax fraud. Hgin, if you are reading this we both know why I took that step. We both know this move I have already made will have its natural follow on and how it's relevant to you. And no different than when I took steps with the South Korean Tax services, I included two angles here. I know to many of you this will seem controversial, but I included his Steemit based income into both reports. I know to the Anarcho Cap folks out there this will upset you... But as I've stated I don't care. I will use two negatives to create a positive effect and won't debate on ideologies, and I won't bring ideologies to the table when executing strategy.
HOW I TOOK THE STEPS 3949-A AND FORM 211:
I will include links to form 211 for any of you who wish to use it. It's an IRS whistle blower form that is designed for those who wish to report someone for tax fraud with limited information to do so. You can take the exact same approach I outlined in my second post in regards to fill it in. I also included the ranchero account in this report. I also managed to get 9 other people who have nothing to do with Steemit to do the same. We have all filled them out with all details, we have all posted them first class. Hgin if you're reading this, you've been flagged. Enjoy.
Second I filled out with more details form 3949-A.I had others join me in this activity and it includes the more detailed information like name, suspected offence, etc. These are details I'm not prepared to disclose to the Steemit community as of yet. Simply because I don't know what others actions would be and I don't want to be responsible for their behavior. That sort of step will be a red button option, but in the mean time I have more than enough to carry forward and directly inconvenience Hgin so I will.
Those I have shared it with care very little for Steemit or blogging or crypto. They are friends I've known for a while or family members who work in public service or law enforcement. From both my personal and professional relationships with them I know I can trust them to do me the odd favor of taking thirty minutes out of their day to fill out some forms with the information provided and send them off.
IF YOU WANT YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO THE SAME AND MAYBE MAKE SOME CASH:
So form 211 is pretty straight forward to fill out. In fact incredibly easy. If you choose to take the time using the details I provided in my second post you actually can be eligible for reward when they get around to looking into it. The IRS can take its time on occasions when conducting an investigation, but they act swiftly once they arrive at a conclusion so if you have no problem doing it you have the means to take part. And yes, I heavily directed them towards income derived off of his website, and all of his web presences including Steemit which is US based as well. I know this move may upset people, but again I don't care. I'm not losing patience here, just stepping up my tempo in my approach as time goes on.
Hgin, if you happen across this post understand I will continue to step up my approach giving you all the space in the world to stop one thing.... Stop flagging new users. I don't care about your self voting practices as the community will handle that. If you continue to carry forward I will continue to step up the force with which I whack you in the head with this large metaphorical stick. These steps are only precursors, I can do much more. Will probably have to as you seem determined to push it... But a simple word of guarantee followed through by a cessation is all I ask. Until that stops I stand with @fulltimegeek and want you to know, you've been flagged.

Okay.... Maybe im missing something. But based on what actions do you accuse him of tax fraud?
I dont know why ancraps would be upset, they too will need (private) uniformed thugs to keep their exploitation going, too.

I put that there for the folks that dont see it in the other comment.
If you think minnowbooster is a good use of your sp you dont understand the math of steem.
When folks gang up they disadvantage everybody that doesnt play along, and most of those that do.
Taking from the many to give to the few is the opposite of what i would consider a good use of my money.
If you care to know the truth of steem and its math, ask around about the whale experiment and how it forced a hardfork so the scammers could continue raping the reward pool.
minnowbooster is not a gang up of its customers, it is a collusion (better word for it than collaboration, and not because of what you think).
"Gang ups" are like gravity.
You, for some reason want to eliminate them, but collaborations and colusions are the stable state of matters.
You got a 8.33% upvote from @sleeplesswhale courtesy of @stimialiti!
We are talking about a commons.
A commons held by individuals.
Were this commons voted by individuals as individuals i would agree with your assesment.
But that isnt the case here.
Vote sellers amass as much as they can to get more than me.
Gangs collude to get more than me, and you.
When these reward pool rapists stop ganging up to take from my share of the commons i will get off their backs.
What do you mean by common?
I only know another meaning of this word, and I bet it is not what you mean.
Therefore, I do not comprehend your reply.
Vote sellers want to profit like you do, and there is no wrong in it.
You consider yourself an anarchist, but keep complaining about people's freedoms.
You can enjoy a service, but instead complain about those whom allow themselves to enjoy.
Gangs collude as a special case of collaboration between organisms.
Evolution made us this way.
Reward pool raping is far more risky and difficult than you present it to be, which may be why you refrain from it.
It is a gamble like trying to predict where a stock market index will get.
Do you oppose such acts too?
Why is collaboration between people wrong?
Have you ever wondered how wonderful life could be without gravity?
You may have spared a lot of fuel, did not have to eat as much, would not have risked falling, could do without both stairs and an elevator.
Might as well complain about gravity and expect it to be cancelled.
In anarchy people will collude, I promise.

Something specific?
The whale experiment that produced a hardfork.
Ok, it was about putting a muzzle on the whales.
When large sp votes little sp gets pushed off the tail.
If 1000sp are voted in total, 100sp for you, you get 10% of the rewards for that day.
But, if a whale votes another 1000sp, you only get 5%.
The whales were sucking up all the rewards and nobody wanted to play the game, so some responsible whales stepped up and started flagging all votes over 80mv, ~40k sp.
This made the minnows matter in the math and stinc mad, so they forked the chain to enable selfvoting and vote selling because they like scammers more than poor people, imo.
They as in the developers?
Whomever is empowered to change the code in the github.
Wow that one came a bit out of left field Haejin must be furious...
Playing with fire if this is true
You are a badass @iknowwhoyouare!
Thank you so much for all you are doing and have done. Please send my warmest regards to your friends and family who have also helped us.
Could it be that others here on the platform may find negative consequences of that action?
Are they making 1500 - 3000 USD per day?
I'm not talking about someone in particular ...just general.
I'm talking about steemit users in random.
Now the IRS/government "eye" is put to this platform by this action...I mean.
Is that the line where people get taxed?
No, but that's obviously a lot of income to be ignored.
Yes but it doesn't answer my Initial question.
Because stewardsofgondor let them know, there is a chance that he/she, did wake up the sleeping dogs and they might go sniff out and attack other steemit people that then become "collateral damage" of this action.
That's my worry. I was wondering if he/she has thought about that.
If you think Uncle Sam, or any other government organization, is going to ignore potential tax revenue being made on the block chain, then it's not reality.
There is a reason why major exchanges like Binance and Bittrex are moving away to Europe where regulations aren't as intricate as places like US, China, etc. will implement.
Some of the reasons why people use a foreign exchange like Binance is to avoid some of the tax implications. Even then, it's a dangerous game to be playing because all the information is there. It's just a matter of attaching a face to it.
I know they are not gonna ignore it. But pointing things out helping them is not such a good idea in my opinion. The state is not so powerful that they have the personnel or the means to go after everyone.

$400 if he is SELF-EMPLOYED. But he claims I have did damage to his business before. What is his business.
A new account trying to organize community flagging, has just been taken down to a 14. I guess @haejin didn't get your message ;)

I doubt he will listen, but I always create space for change with people before taking aggressive action. The steps I've already taken are light. It is outrageous though and eventually he will feel a pinch from what I'm doing. No one wants to be raised with any government agency. I worked hand in hand with a number of law enforcement agencies over the years before becoming disenfranchised with my career and when mud is thrown as I have thrown it it always sticks and leaves a bad smell. I'm juggling pursuing Hgin in tandem with my day to day but eventually I will get a result. When I get free time I will devote it to it. Please always feel free to reach out to me and keep me posted. When I first joined you and a handful of others here struck me as incredibly kind people and even if the voting and money didn't exist would still make me want to engage on this platform. Sending my kindest regards and I promise I will do what I can to support you, @fulltimegeek, and all those taking part in your efforts.
As a quick post script to my last response, you can encourage others to fill out the form 211 provided in the link on the post if they'd like. For those who want a way to flag off platform with hard hitting results, it provides an avenue. In my second post on this blog I provided all the details they would need. It simply cost the 15 minutes to fill in and the cost of a postage stamp. I understand why with all of the antigov sentiment on Steemit that many would rather not. It's just my humble effort to put outside of the box tools that I'm using into the hands of others who would have no problem using them themselves.
I know many who will be doing just that! Thanks again for putting the tools here.
Happy to. Do you think the little sp I have is worth delegating to @fulltimegeek? I don't feel like it's alot and at the moment have it sitting with minnowbooster so at least it's going to good use. But do you feel it's of enough to be of consequence to delegate? I want this account to work for you guys and as you are the only one I respond to do you think moving it over to where you suggested is any good? Or should I wait until it's whacking around 50 so it has weight? People like you and @davemccoy I'll happily take direction and advice from as you are transparently good people. Beauty of steemit is that it's open so it's easy to find the good eggs just by scrolling. I'd love your input here though as I want this account to have maximum impact and help all involved.
Since you mentioned @davemccoy I am sure you know of @friendsofgondor if you dont delegate to a flagging account. Or @neutralizer that helps out those flagged by hgin and his associates.
Totally up to you! All these accounts flag too: @flagawhale, @flagthedonkey, @weflaghaejin
So it would appear I have gotten hjinns attention as he flagged my post. Him doing that definitely made me chuckle. To ensure my next step is gotten out to the community I will probably do it under another account name to ensure visibility. I will take his flag as a hard no to my request and begin in the coming week. Like with all my steps I take they take some coordination and effort so I will let you know prior to launching the post the new account name.I will also be doing things off platform I won't inform the community about to inconvenience him and let him know I'm here, I know who he is, and there is no such thing as a free lunch. Hope you are well and sending my kind regards and if I go silent for a period know I haven't forgotten about supporting you all and that you have an ally working hard to help bring about accountability to Hjin away from the Steemit world. :)
Thank you very much :)
I appluad everything you're doing to clean Steemit of those who abuse it.
@RanchoRelaxo you should turn #Hgin in & collect more rewards. You will receive 30% back from the IRS. https://www.irs.gov/compliance/whistleblower-informant-award
THERE IS THE STEEMIT MONEY HAEJIN & FRIENDS SCAMMED!!!!

@iknowwhoyouare
I've been downvoted by Haejin so much that he's turned by accounts' reputation to -1, he has wrecked my payouts by going after me with -50% and -100% flags on my posts and comments;
If there's any help or advice you can offer me, please do.
