At this point, I'm beginning to think that for 5million ish $/EUR I too would

1. build up my rep (post count) for months on 20-30 accounts on all the major bitcoin forums and on reddit
2. initiate scam
3. calm the action by repeatedly assuring in eeriely similar posts all claiming to have:
a. Met this elusive guy, simon
b. claim he's nice, upright in morals, idealistic, etc,etc (thus feeding all our biases)
4. use the time bought from the community by my dummy accounts to give them the slip.

tl;dr :

When people keep saying "I've met this guy, he's nice, etc, etc" only trust those with established rep.

I've met this guy, he's nice, etc, etc
