Shortly afterwards, Undertow rejoined Wikipedia as User Law in September 2008 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=newusers&user=Law&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=], making over five thousand edits by March 2009 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Law], nearly half of which were in mainspace, when he was proposed for adminship by 'GlassCobra'.

Some time in August 2009, an anonymous IP outed Law on Law's talk page. The talk-page history shows that two edits were oversighted on August 16, the page protected, and the anon blocked. The implication is that someone used oversight to hide that Law had violated an ArbCom ban and had gained adminship by lying to the community, and that other admins blocked the whistleblower and protected the page against further revelations.

On September 20 2009, Law unblocked user [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ChildofMidnight ChildofMidnight ], overturning an arbitration enforcement block which had been placed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sandstein Sandstein]. It is expressly forbidden to overturn ArbCom enforcement actions in that way. When challenged, Law was unapologetic. Somewhere around then, it was discovered that Law was a reincarnation of Undertow.
