1) Ok this smear campaign is starting to get a bit ridiculous. Take @realitoTV. Account about a for-profit company that's likely defunct: crunchbase.com/organization/r Only post was in 2015, about food and kickstarter.

2) Then, today: a) follows 2 people: Sam Altman, and a CT guy who FUDs me (

@amologoko

) b) Retweets FUD, comments with content-free FUD c) likes more FUD

3) also somehow exactly one person follows him.

@BridgetCBSauer

do you know @realitoTV? You have an actual high engagement account which has nothing to do with crypto.

4) So an account about a company dormant for 5 years logs on, follows Sam Altman and someone on CT FUDding, likes a bunch of FUD, and retweets some. His one post has one like. Himself. Liking his own post.

5) ...has this really descended into people creating sock puppet accounts to retweet their FUD and like their own posts? what's going on here?

6) also, really sorry if somehow this is all a big misunderstanding! also also: NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE, so no one takes this as a message to invest in sock puppet accounts or anything like that I guess?

though it seems like the *most* brutal ones are the honestly witch hunts -- the ones where real people really do want tear people down for dubious reasons
