this is hilarious...

it reminds me of the people that are responding to the anti-spam topic posts with : yes, good posts, plis upvot me

but this is just going one step further these are people that do know a bit about how steem works and try to con money out of an up and coming project.  
The only thing they seem to forget is that this projects is made up of hundreds of coders (who are also potentially hackers if they use their power for "evil") and what they are doing is the equivalent of pissing on the coders computer

I really do not think this ends well for those people but that is just my view here...
good job @elear on removing their potential power but sad it has to come to this
