Isn't it easy to cheat on online poker?

Yep, lose 3x the money.
I was thinking you were trying to fill a table with "yous". Therefore no gain.
Let's talk probabilities. If you know what you're doing and manage three players well, you're bound to make $$. So many possibilities.... three of 'you' bet aggressively against each other to weed other players out. Again, so many possibilities. You have 3 hands to play with in every game.
the op is correct and it is possible and not too difficult to do.

My room mate tried it last year, once they notice that two accounts seem to be playing with eachother ALOT, they'll ban the two from playing together. Summarily the rake will take away any profit made.
I'm pretty sure you can stop them from taking your money.
Or just play together a dozen times, then sign up all over again.

If you're a great player you don't need to cheat. Great players play real poker against real people in person and make tons of money.
Which is more or less my point.
If you're sub-par, you run the risk of losing much money. If you're very good, you shouldn't need to cheat.
A good poker player will destroy multiple people working together, in some ways it can hurt your chances extremely.
I see many problems with this idea.
1. You will not be able to have all the accounts play together in the same games for long (many poker sites run anti-collusion software and having the same group of 5 people ALWAYS play together is very suspicious)
2. You can't keep raising with all personas in order to make the other player fold (again, very suspicious)
3. Although you may be able to take some money from the other party in the game, you are losing a ton of it to rake

you are assuming that you are going to be able to bluff out ever pot
even if you are able to do it with most pots
the ones where you try it against someone with a premium hand or even the nuts you are going to get killed
imagine yourself controlling 3 people all raising each other to bluff the other person has a monster and he is going to pocket 2-3x more money on hands because of this
the only way it is a benefit is if you are on a draw and other hands you have have killed your outs
it you need a king to make a straight but two other hands you have been dealt had kings in them but remember you are paying 3x the blinds 3x the rake for 3 people
so yes it does provide an advantage however it is not as big as you would think and you can get absolutely killed against one or two good players
for tournament play I can see this as possibly being advantageous though but in a ten person tournament only 3 people get payed so you must get a second AND third place finish or a first every time to end up ahead

Well, if you listen to the poker sites, they all have anti-collusion mechanisms in place to stop this sort of thing. Hand histories, which can always be looked at by the poker sites can reveal collusion. It would take a lot of time and effort to make collusion profitable.
I've seen suspicious things at Sit-n-go's, where one player at the beginning calls off all his chips with an unbelievably atrocious hand and doubles up another player. However, when you realize that as far as SnG tournaments, the colluders must pay 2 buy-ins, it really doesn't seem like too much of an advantage to me.
