Hey @contentjunkie it was more of interest into the mindset of a scammer and just maybe he'll own up to stuff if people can get into an honest Q and A w/ the individual. In a lot of ways, it was sort of a joke really. I highly doubt he would. I did the same thing for Matt T. when he came on the platform.
Thanks for asking about the purpose of the account. The premise of the account is so people can have a designated area to run an AMA just like reddit. They can still answer questions using their main account on SteemIt. It's more a way to help promote it to and have a schedule around future AMA's with interesting people. Most of the time ( this was the true intention of the account )it was for people who don't have a SteemIt account can do an AMA if the person is interesting. I give them the posting key and they get a chance to give SteemIt a spin . We haven't had that yet , but soon. Thanks for the questions.
