This is one of the more clever scams I've seen.

Here's how I suspect it went down:

1. Max (who pushed QRK -- you guys saw how that turned out, right?) paid some guy to build a Keccak GPU miner implementation (it's not hard, source code is available freely [1])
2. He then uses his fame + name to peddle a new coin using the Keccak algorithm, which no other coin uses
3. Sheep go baaaaah. Much profit.

Yeh, remind to build a CUDA version, my GPU doesn't like opencl

The source I linked to actually is a CUDA implementation of Keccak

Quite ironic...
