RE: @zeartul "hacked." Here's what we know about him so far.
This guy is the lowest of the low. But it does highlight a point that Steemit is far to easy to game for one's own benefit, whether it be by bending the rules, breaking them, or by just acting in an illegal fashion. Anonymity (although maybe not in this case) and the movement of money is a very attractive combination for the criminal lowlife.
I don't think the problem lies within Steemit itself. There are lots of ways for scammers to make it seem like they can afford to give out a 45% APR.
But you make a good point: the more movement of money, the more lowlifes that come out of the woodwork.
Aside this issue, can anyone here give me any idea how could he possibly pay up 45% APR by using the money for purchasing delegation leases for the bot? I tried to calculate maximum profitability from the bot business here but failed to understand any logic behind this gimmick.
