The "scientific" way of checking how different 2 accounts are from each other is to measure the distance between their respective stats. I did it for 1 banned bot accounts: BOOTTLEGGER, 3 active accounts from my list: IMissFender,Samanta81,SusaaNIN and 4 legit regulars from PL200: N@T@L@T,Shuller_A1t,Nakamator,Bagrovui. I picked those legit accounts because they have played a lot of hands and are mostly Russian.
The stats of banned bots/alleged bots are here

I entered them into an excel spreadsheet here:
I will not post the stats of legit players to protect their privacy.
Afterwards I have calculated the distance between those 8 accounts mentioned earlier. I have used "Squared Euclidean distance" for it. It can be found here

Thats the distance between following account pairs in form of a graph
The 6 first columns are BOOTLEGGER,Samanta81,IMissFender,SusaaNiN compared in pairs.
The next 6 columns are 4 legit accounts compared in pairs.
The last column is an alleged bot SuSaaNiN compared to legit Russian grinder N@T@L@T.
Small column means small distance, accounts are very similar, big column means the accounts are completely different.
EDIT: I didnt enter more accounts because typing all of it into excel is a huge pain in the ass. I will put all my research on Google Drive on Tuesday and make it free for everyone to download, including the spreadsheet to calculate the difference between any 2 accounts.
