I've suspected it for a long time, but a Throwdown with him confirmed that TunaBallKing is, in fact, a cheater. The three late votes by private profiles clinched it in my mind, so I asked a PI (no name given) to help dig up evidence on him. This is what he found:

These 3 accounts have been brought to our attention as for voting for TunaBallKing in multiple amounts of his throwdowns:

spider11508
bruins4life
NYCPuckhead

Another account named "Perloff Effigy" has voted in quite a few of his throwdowns as well, but the account is shown as deleted when you go to the page, see:

http://www.fannation.com/users/view_user_profile/609512

And the account has not been used most recently.

Another account that is under suspicious use is RaoulDukus. This account has voted on many of TunaBallKing's early throwdowns. And, this account is currently private:

Here are some TD's that these "dupes" have voted in:

If you take the time to go to these throwdowns, you will see that the difference in votes between the two TDers are not very far apart in all of the throwdowns that these accounts have voted in. Here are all the TD's of his that were found to have these accounts voted in:

http://www.fannation.com/users/user_throwdowns/590348

At least 1 or 2 of these accounts have voted in at LEAST half of his throwdowns, this is very suspicious.

PERSONAL ADDENDUM: The accounts bruins4life and NYCPuckhead both have private profiles. However, NYCPuckhead did not always have a private profile, or the same name. He went under the moniker "Burkilonious", and listed his name as Ryan Burke... eerily similar to TunaBallKing's listed name of R.M. Burke. Both were from Ottawa. Burkilonious also started the CFL Throwdown with the same avatar as his old character, except with a different name.

CHEATER!

February 14, 2009  12:47 AM ET

Seriously? Wow.

February 14, 2009  12:57 AM ET

This really needs to be seen.

February 14, 2009  01:10 AM ET

Well we have the proof here. Somebody going to step up to the plate?

I really doubt that. I just want the world to see.

February 14, 2009  01:15 AM ET

Good job, I'm very curious to see a response but I doubt we will. Its a very suspicious situation without a doubt, hopefully the truth comes out.

February 14, 2009  08:42 AM ET

Excellent work from the Rockford Files...I mean the RedWing Files. I'd like to see his response as well.

February 14, 2009  09:28 AM ET

Nice detective work RW, do you think TBK will respond?

February 14, 2009  09:54 AM ET

ROFLMAO

Not to sound mean or anything but...

This cheating crap is getting old, if you care so much about what someone does on a sports website then get a life. Really, redwing, you must have spent a ton of time creating this blog and digging up the info, couldnt you be doing something else?

The person who cheats and knows that he cheats has to suffer the consequences everyday knowing that he/she is a cheater at probly everything he or she does

Ive seen so many of these blogs done on these things, over time ive learned to ignore and not td the "cheater", nuff said
