So what was the point of using a recycled former talent's account?
Either they're really dumb and didn't realize they'd immediately get caught, or they knew they would get caught but didn't think it would reflect on them poorly, which is also really dumb.
If they had just used a new account, it would have taken longer for anyone to notice the VRev connection, or at least there would have been less direct evidence of it. I don't understand why they wouldn't have just taken that route unless they're really deluded about how poorly VRev is seen in the industry currently.
So it's either stupidity or delusion…
