GM,
myself and other members of ChaosDAO have investigated Michiko Watanabe and believe that they are using a fake persona.

Michiko was promoted to HA under this ref: https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/871

I have tried to contact Michiko for the past few days, with no response.

You can see more info here:
1. Calling them out on X: https://x.com/LeemoXD/status/1818617878905520628
2. Deleting their X account and leaving chat groups: https://x.com/LeemoXD/status/1818646565122187466

While I'm on my soapbox – you all should actually vote in governance. You all hold DOT yet hardly any of you vote, just check ref 871 above.

If you do not vote NAY and then are unhappy with stuff that passes, you are also part of the problem.
Start paying attention or delegate to a group like ChaosDAO which does pay attention and isn't prone to being corrupted by quid-pro-quo. 

Please do better.
