I don't think this authorship thing is a scam.
Seriousreading.com does exist and does get updates...
Only 200K of ETH was collected since most money came by wire/cc deposits.
Authorship did post a balance/transfer sheet of the bankaccount where at least 1,2 Million was deposited.

I think they haven't handled the bounty campaign that well and especially when people began to yell/scream/rant against peter.
I do think authorship didn't know really how to respond/what to do when the shit storm started to spread...
They tried to fix it but it got backfired and made it even worse.

In my opinion authorship made some terrible mistakes and that's a pity but what's even frighteningly to me are the ones who are threating and trying to manhunt....fcuking cowards with a big fcking mouth on the net because of some FREE coins....

If you have the balls, please do sue them, I really don't mind, but don't talk big when you're just a fcking pussy cunt.
