I've had members PM me in the past asking this same question, and I would bet anything that it's a genuine one.  They probably come from countries/cultures where bribing officials and various government workers like cops is a daily thing.  It might even work with certain members here, and you just never know.

I would have tagged OP as well had I seen the thread, which I didn't.  That's a silly idea anyway, OP.  A scammer could do a lot of things with your account that you'd never be able to control, and it would only encourage someone to shitpost as much as they could for a campaign like Yobit, assuming that one was still running.  It would be basically the same as an account sale, and those are frowned upon here.
