This part of the story makes some sense. I can accept it.
We all send merits to accounts or people we know they are close to us. Whoever is behind the account now, they are or were co-workers. I don't see anything wrong if other co-worker decides to send merits.
Can we have some words from the person who is behind the account Cratoon now?
I believe that every trading transaction between two users has a chat history about fees, price and how to do it, it's not as easy as you send it to the exchange. So I'm sure you do too before the transaction - even the last one, then things could be different.
@John Abraham, do you have something to show us as suggested by _BlackStar?
