I think people have taken this attitude on Sam because most of them have tried to offer him advice in the past, just to have it ignored. Sure, some of the advice was better than others, but in general, even the good advice that people give Sam appears to fall on deaf ears. Most of us, yourself included, don't even comment on Sam's threads - or if we do, we offer either light humor, or a suggestion - knowing that it will be disregarded.
I don't think that people are lashing out at Sam because of jealousy or envy, but rather, because of his well defined claims which have been just that - claims. There are very few people left on these boards that even believe Sam will make it to level 70, let alone 80. And, if history is any indicator (past performance), they would be correct. I personally think Sam can do it, but I wish that he would listen to some of the people on these forums. Most people that write a post asking for advice actually take it, yet it does not appear to be the case here. Some of the members of this community have become very disrespectful to Sam, but when you look at what he has claimed, can you really blame them (again, I would advise just to ignore his posts if they irritate you, rather than writing something unhelpful)?
Now, just in my opinion here, but I would think that a "intelligent" person, new to boxing, would start with 5 characters (as has been suggested numerous times), learn the game, then move forward. Even with unlimited money, what's the point of having 100 accounts if you can't level them efficiently to help support your claims? From my perspective, leveling has been quicker the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, times around when building characters - I think Sam would experience the same thing too. I think most of us can attest to faster leveling methods once we get the "boxing" concept down.
Sorry that this has gotten quite long winded, but I realize that the best advice that we can give people is to just ignore Sams threads (if they don't like them), but that's hard - we're all human, and we're all curious.
