[Cry Me A River]

The thing to do here is setup a fake mod account. Back date it the account reg about two years. Make it for a forum Degen is unlikely to be familiar with (Stud or Omaha or something). Nobody knows all the mods, let alone Degen. Insert and back-date a bunch of phony posts (several ways you could do this - copy whole threads, change some of the posts so they're from our phony mod). Automate this with a script and our mod could have thousands of posts in no time.

Sell Degen that account. Nuke it and all the phony threads as soon as the monies arrive.
