During this time [[Mallow]] (who was about 20 places back in the rankings) was asked to provide proof of his own times. Unable to capture runs himself and kicking up a fuss in public, he secretly approached his friend Kingpin to fake some proof for him. Not wanting to see a friend with legit times get banned merely because he had no recording equipment, he duly obliged. In the space of a few hours a slow [[Villa]] SA, [[Pelagic]] PA amongst others were recorded, with Kingpin deliberately bumping into corners to slow his speed down to match Mallow's times. [[Duel]] A was also thrown in.

About a week later, however, they fell out on AIM and Mallow promptly gave him up to [[Zeebo]], who immediately banned the pair. Despite 95% of Eliters voting to reinstate Kingpin the ban was upheld. His times have since reappeared on the rankings in the last year.
