I have to imagine Karl has messaged Sandi a number of times offering emotional support, and Sandi may even foster sycophantic relationships with SC-whales who offer unconditional praise. I remember The Wulge rushing to chat with Sandi after her total meltdown at CitCon.

Some similarities between Sandi and Matilda/Karl:

Overuse of capitalization:

Sand's twittter posted:

It's a special day for me for two great reasons - thanks for the flowers - Best Husband Ever!

Sandi's twitter posted:

Thanks to 'Steve Jackson' for our Thanksgiving pizza! Was Gone in 60 Seconds! http://fb.me/2Ozh3Vpwh
Claims knowledge of German:

Sandi's twitter posted:

Tidying up I found a lot of work refs. & academic transcripts - this one reminds me my German needs fan help ;)
Also, either Karl literally got at most four-five hours' sleep last night (which, granted, is fully possible), or (s)he's not running on GMT+1.

TL:DR
"Matilda2013" = "Sandi Gardiner" maybe isn't as compelling an argument as "Matilda2013" = "Karl", but it's a pretty decent conspiracy take on it. I want to believe she's got more sense and would have better things to do with her time. But then I see crap like this and realize she really wouldn't.

I see someone else is trying to make the connection.

Here's the thing: that's what lawsuits are for. We get to find out which aliases (if any), accounts etc they've posted under. And if the judge grants it, attorneys get to send in forensic IT people to go image all their devices, computers etc. This happens all the time; especially in legal action that revolves around stuff like this.

You also get to send sub-poenas to all ISPs, social media etc for all their communications. Usually they will petition the judge to refuse it, but according to attorneys, those tend to fail quickly since judges recognize that in this digital age, most nefarious poo poo is done online.

From skimming the Matilda reddit account, it definitely appears as though they're a CIG insider, and the way they type and things they say definitely point towards it being Sandi. I think we need more conclusive evidence, but I think it's plausible.

Also, I would not AT ALL be shocked to discover that at least some of the j4thread idiots we've seen here are CIG higher-ups.

If you look at the twitter accounts of the white knights, they are all following each other, they have their own little information sharing club going on. We already know Sandi keeps in touch with some of them via private emails, so them all posting similar poo poo isn't that unusual, considering they likely all have similar mental problems too. I seem to remember she even thanked one of them on twitter for defending CIG in the comments section of some news piece against that Brazilian nutter who used to post everywhere how evil CIG were.

Yup. Which is how I have all of them blocked. I just export their entire list, import it, then block en-masse.

Except that you also need a compelling reason for what you're requesting, you don't just get to say "hey man I lawsuit u, gimmie all the poo poo". If you're suing over enforcement over the TOS you'll get to ask for communications directly relating to that subject and no more, poo poo posts on reddit probably wouldn't make the cut. Also, dispatching forensic IT people is pretty rare in most litigation unless you're the fuzz. Also, you don't get anything first. In fact you wouldn't even be the one that send in the IT guys, the defendant will (you'll end up paying for it though), and even then they get to review everything before you even have a chance to see it since forensic searches turn up 99% extraneous poo poo.
