Keel M. Posted October 2, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Sounds to me like writing is more than a hobby for him. I mean I can't imagine why the need for secrecy. I'm sure there are hundreds of people who do this for free. And it seems like most of the commenters believe it to be just a story as well.

Ashotep Posted October 2, 2012 #4 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Desperate people do desperate things when it comes to making enough to take care of the bills and eat. I can understand him not being happy with himself spreading disinformation. Wish others would develop a conscious and not do it just to sell a story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supervike Posted October 2, 2012 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I recently read where some guy had made a pretty good living for making 'fake reviews' for different things throughout the web. This isn't really that hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, yeah I bet some of those first time fantastic story posters we see on UM are probably similar. Edited October 2, 2012 by Spid3rCyd3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Fly Posted October 2, 2012 #10 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Being a member of ATS and this forum, they are about. But still, gotta keep the wolf from the door, one way or another. I am for hire by the way. PM me and we can talk rates, company car etc. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Buzzkill Posted October 2, 2012 #11 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Does anyone have suspicions of any UM members? I have a couple but not willing to say without evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babe Ruth Posted October 2, 2012 #12 Share Posted October 2, 2012 An interesting story, and plausible. Kinda reminds me of the young people hired by various banks to do "robo-signing" of fraudulent bank mortgage documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted October 2, 2012 #13 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Does anyone have suspicions of any UM members? It doesn't take much for suspicions to turn to finger pointing and from there to a full-blown witch hunt - it wouldn't be the first time. I think we ought to snip this one in the bud now before it has a chance to turn nasty. Closed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
