I am sorry for thinking that crediting you in the twit was enough, I will delete the twit right away if you ask me to do so.

F that. Thanks for spreading awareness. If you credited him he should be more than satisfied. FYI we also trade against overly sensitive people. We all know what happens when you trade while you are too emotional.

Scammers pay to their own wallets for a majority of time to look legit to trap others, so I estimate >90% of this ETH is not scammed, rather it is scammers themselves
