Why did you not pm the Campaign Manager to seek clarification in dialogue with him if you weren't in anyway trying to undermine him? I believe that should've been the most sensible thing to do in a honest inquisitive case like this. Well, to answer your question, that's not a paid bump. Whenever a CM does that it should mean two things – 1. It creates more awareness for the CM and his business and 2. It brings the business he's promoting to more awareness in the face of the public. It's a harmless publicity both ways.
Maybe it's sentiment, or I can think of something else. But I don't think CryptopreneurBrainboss has any obligation to clarify here.
The OP could have easily gotten clarification if he had sent a single pm CryptopreneurBrainboss, but he didn't because he probably wanted to get people's attention by creating a thread. But what, this only ended badly for him. The OP has also not responded to anything since september 18th, so I don't think there's anything so significant to bump this thread again.
