I had the exact same thought. Evidence to be skeptical of this:
Multiple postings of 3-5 posts, all at once, a couple of days ago, especially by @IDeliverPizza. This serves to give the appearance of a major lead while scraping the front page of legit posts. Take a look at his submission history and lack of reliability, always pointing to the next thing. This account has been around for four months, but he regularly posts SCREAMING HEADLINES that are just rumors...or things we might like to believe (huge break)...which are not substantiated or which never pan out in the end. IDeliverPizza has NO credibility in his history, so I am inclined to believe he is ShareBlue/CTR moreso than thinking he is just non critical in analyzing a lead. I am pretty convinced he is deliberate disinfo. The posting of multiple posts on the same topic within minutes is more support of this.
The Glacier posts lack any real substance. They are similar to other posts by IDeliverPizza, which sound promising until you actually dig...and this guy does minimal digging.
The coordination appears high level. It may be that there are some insiders at places like Reddit and 4chan who want to highlight these red herrings, causing us to harass the targets or promote provably false accusations in an effort to discredit or shut this down.
Based on the above, I am strongly convinced it is an actual DISINFO campaign and will only be convinced otherwise with hard evidence. The best evidence against it is the behavior of IDeliverPizza.
