The organizer should be tried for fraud.

It's misrepresenting an event that real people are paying to attend. Why wouldn't it be criminal fraud?

Why is that extreme? They made fake accounts, pushed fake speakers who would "back out" every year. The only thing extreme here is the lengths in which the organizes went to repeatedly commit fraud. Do you think Microsoft thinks it was cool to say higher up at their organization would be speaking?
