What happened after that, I can't say. Maybe this is legit, maybe not (I tend to suspect not Cheetah is usually right on) What I can say is that I'm not willing to gamble any of my hard earned cash to find out... you decide for yourself. If this is in fact 250 loyal Steemians, I'd be interested to find out who they are. I checked his wallet which contained about $53.00. Once again, you decide!
