I actually don't believe its him and I'll tell you why: these half-wits had me as a mod in their IRC for a month before I finally left, all the while I was openly stating I felt this was a scam and no mining was taking place. The reason I was a mod? No one else in there could figure out how to set up an IRC with auto-ops, channel flags, set banmasks, etc.

I genuinely believe that some of the investors are so dumb and blind that it is them posting through these accounts. Marcelo knows he has such devout fanboys he doesn't have to do anything. I wish I could adequately surmise the level of ignorance of that group of people - it goes far beyond crypto and basic IT to fundamental lack of understanding of basic investment principles. That group of IRC clowns is the main set of actors behind the "so what you dumb fuck at least I'm getting paid."

I'd be less sad if I thought this was Marcelo himself. But it's his unofficial Kool-Aid drinkers, including one Chief Hero Asshat who, at least at the time, was bragging about using his SCC payouts to pay his bills instead of having an actual job. Of course this was in the "pre-hack" time...
