Despite Zeartul's claims that he no longer owns and operates bellyrub, I "co-incidentally" got flagged by bellyrub after coming out publicly stating he is a scammer.  It only takes a short browse through the comments section of the bellyrub account or zeartuls own comments section to find many users who are upset after zeartul has not held up to his end of the bargain.

A friend of mine had a problem where they sent him $10 for a vote.  Unlike reputable voting bots, that automatically return money if something went wrong, he keeps the money, and is very difficult to reach for comment.  Because this friend (who I won't name here because they didn't want to be involved, perhaps for fear of the downvotes), I was very upset, and had to raise all kind of hell in private before zeartul finally sent the money back, along with a snarky message.

Previous to now, I kept my comments private and excluded to a small group of people who are close to zeartul, and a few personal advisors who I asked what to do... Since there wasn't much for me to do, but keep my mind on work, and continue doing what I do, I kept silent..  but I won't keep silent anymore.

I will wear my downvotes proudly, for the first time I've ever spoken ill of someone on the blockchain, for the cause of justice.  I'm sure Zeartul would say "it's not my bot anymore", why then did bellyrub only target the three posts I had still in the payout window?  (one of which is no longer in that window)

I promise this.  If I get more downvotes from bellyrub, or zeartul, I will be happy to go through his comments history (both bellyrub and zeartul) for the past 3 months, and show screenshots of all of his dissatisfied customers, and his lack of response.  Just last night I noticed in steemit chat a few people talking about how he owes them 100s of dollars!  But people who are allied with him claim that his business is none of their business?  If I thought someone was my ally, and then found out they were scamming people left and right, I wouldn't want to be associated anymore, I sure as hell wouldn't say "It's none of my business".
