LMAO, aTriz offers refund because his masters got embarassed. FYI, if the plot wasn't discovered, he would have continued shilling the "marketing strategy" bit.
TLDR; He got caught pants down and offers reparations so that his red tags will get removed. Such is the privilege of working under Bitcointalk's Overlords.
I really would suggest removing signature campaigns altogether! But no, the holy tribunal also needs signature money, fucking lol.
I think the best move is to consider the aTriz account spent and just make a new account. Besides, aTriz is in good company, his masters can stealthily provide merits to the new one.
