That would make some sense. But Bonespur, for example, never claimed anything of the kind. He just said he'd use his winnings to buy Uzbekistan.
A few others did discuss email exchanges with "Adam Carter" or unnamed people supposedly related to the company. But I believe the Carter emails were all posted sooner or later, and weren't of much interest. Maybe COR thinks it could get useful info from the IP addresses, but I doubt that would work out.
