Good luck on your OPSEC, should not have used your 7 year old account... might hit up dang to change the account so you don't get kidnapped.

Seriously, this. You just publicly stated you have access to millions.

Take a look at the hn reaction to your post, this is a special occurence. Regardless it's your decision and I imagine you have your reasons.

Finding such a thing might be somewhat special, but (referring to your comment) having theoretical access to money is definitely not a special thing.

He might have tried a burner account that never got approved (so no posting showing up).
