Tip for exposing Michiko Watanabe

GM,
a few people have reached out to me stating that I should put in a tip for this, so here we go.

This tip covers:

Initially identifying the problem.
Time spent speaking to various people in the ecosystem to ensure that they have never dealt with Michiko.
Potential reputational damage if I was wrong (spoiler: I wasn't)

If I did not carry out these tasks then the Polkadot Treasury would be paying a scammer $10,000 per month.

Cheers,

Leemo

Someone said to give a tip about a problem.
They looked into a project called "Polkadot."
They talked to many people to see if anyone knew a person named Michiko.
There was a worry that if they were wrong, it could hurt the reputation of the group.
By checking everything, they helped stop a scammer from taking $10,000 every month.
