The pedo scandal may be correct, but the Maxwell Reddit moderation theory has zero cred. I wouldn’t be surprised if other moderators has scandals of their own, so I don’t doubt what you say there.

All that aside, a post like this does not call for a huge operation. Some person or small group is certainly capable of making a post on Reddit and making a handful of shadow accounts to shill their scam. It’s no different from any number of scam emails you’ll find in your inbox or junk folder. They just use social media now.
