It's a great mystery. I am sticking with the "daddy made the posts and trades theory."

Rationale:

(1) The kid was too young when Jonathan Lebed joined SI. The kid would have been in either sixth or seventh grade at the time.

(2) In one post, "Jonathan Lebed" says that he used his son to hype a stock on television. If he is willing to use his son to hype one stock, he is probably willing to use him to cover up a crime.

(3) It is a perfect cover for dad --- the kid will have his record expunged when he comes of age, so he comes out of it with a clean background. If dad had got dinged, on the other hand, it would have stayed on his record forever.
