The author of flip https://scan.idena.io/flip/bafkreid67l2vagop4mx5tk6bw4nn2qwjdfhgcfitg3g2ju3xax4o2wiigi
(identity A = https://scan.idena.io/identity/0xbE0064feD0E1c0682fEEbc147392F7d5325c8C42)

is a delegate of Pool https://scan.idena.io/pool/0x96d11da40FDe82D81ebE0EAE61bFe6a47F43d1a6

just like 2 out of 7 identities out of the qualification committee
( Indentity B https://scan.idena.io/identity/0x6422C0e7a1B25fE8A9ec2168cC87b67F57EB9e5A and Identity C https://scan.idena.io/identity/0xE0EB33Ef69dFC8cBBacF03e014A619a3D95FCbb3 )

This is not how it was announced to be in https://medium.com/idena/idena-proof-of-person-blockchain-to-eliminate-risks-of-mining-pools-74d96e16aa36 where we can read:

"Pool’s accounts will not be able to solve flips created by other accounts delegated to the same pool."

In case that this is unavoidable for technical reason, there is still another problem:

Identity B did approve that flip of Identity A, while Identity C did report it.

That way identity C made about 7.68 idna reporting rewards for Identity As bad flip.

That is like a hedge against the penalty and contradicts the idea of incentifying better flips with the report mechanism?
