Serious, I feel the credibility here lies in the authenticity of the website, Joe M, and Vern.
This would not be the first time a finely orchestrated company take down was attempted by fraudulent means.
Once the damage is done, the players disappear.
It is interesting that the website domain is Australian.
Have we ever had any dealings in Australia? HMMMMMM
IMO, this is one heck of a great screenplay!
