Before you go and blow a major hole in somebody's reputation, you've got to make damn sure you're right. I didn't release EpicThomas' real world name in the beginning because I wasn't 100% sure I had the right guy until later on. Hopefully Graviton is doing the same thing. I recommend patience for a few days.
This. I'm surprised that it even needs to be spelled out like this.
But...Graviton was asking for trouble when he said the account belongs to a "well known and respected member of the Nxt community." That's like waving a bloody steak in front of rabid gossip hounds.
I've been thinking about this some more. I take back complimenting myself that I've isolated the truth down to "scenario 3 - unknown new hacker". Anything is possible and we should not start locking ourselves in to thinking the simple answer is the right one. Whoever withdrew that NXT has had weeks to think about how they were going to do it. There are lots of ways set up a false flag operation in that time. It could be anybody, including EpicThomas. We may never know.
