This is a common practice on AskReddit. Bots will take a popular post (usually an old one) and a couple of the top comments to repost for free karma. Probably used to sell the accounts later.

I guess that opens up a few new lines of questions, if you care to answer, or course. Who is in control of these bots? Is it Reddit? Is it Reddit users? Why look to sell reddit accounts? Rather, why look to buy them? Do they somehow generate in income that will inevitibly pay for your investment? Please dont tell me people actually pay real world money for fake internet points and see no return of investment...
