I tried to interview trade fortress for an article but he didn't proceed with it.

Do you guys know each other here real life to hold an interview? If it was a good impersonator, you probably wont find out who you actually interviewed.

BTW, Im kinda carried away with the memories you guys shared. Quite funny most posts on the thread was too. I came to read about Irony on Bitcointalk remember?

You are right that that it would be hard to know whether it is the real person or whether they bought or hacked the account.
You are right that a good hoaxer that has access to the account could possibly pass as the real deal.
Their identity was (DOX) was only suspected - it was never established in a court or confirmed beyond doubt.

I have interviewed a few people on here for articles and for articles in progress. It is not an intense "investigative interview" and generally focuses on what people want to tell me. I try to get their perspective on what happened. Which potentially can be a "story" rather than the truth. I try to get a balanced perspective by interviewing others involved.

In the crypto sphere articles are often unreliable. I try to get the technical perspectives correct and to get balance by telling multiple perspectives rather than just relying on a single interview. I'm more interested in finding out what actually happened (history) than apportioning blame or a hard hitting report.
