The post states that this operator recruits others to carry out work for him and so scale the operation. The alias Benjmain Stewart is transcribed as the post spells it. Two follow-up posts in the same thread quote his recruiting message, sent to people listed on virtualstaff.ph as a Senior Software Developer from Singapore seeking a virtual assistant, and the arrangement offered: payments from customers land in the recruit's own account and card, and the recruit forwards 90 percent of the income to him. Neither post carries a further typable indicator.

The second identity in the same post, given only as "a Benjamin", which the researcher says was also hired at an artificial intelligence company through the same Florida staffing agent. A given name on its own settles nothing and is recorded as exactly that.
