While I don't agree with TDO's methods, the documents released so far have been 100% legitimate and full of new information (EG: Flight 93 was shot down by the military) so I can't see it as a "scam".
Hopefully they continue posting to the Steem blockchain.
Appreciate it that you took the time to shine a light on the matter. In hindsight it makes sense that a corporation won't allow such behavior. Yet the tech itself stands strong.
