Yiersan wanted an endorsement from Bruce Sterling, the inspiration for its new direct-marketed BrightLine line of vatgrown medical food*. When Sterling refused, Yiersan set up and publicized a cookiejar: an account in Sterling’s name, with funds available any time he reaches out for them. This increasingly-popular tactic is intended to imply a relationship and requires no complicity on the victim’s part. No word so far from Sterling.
*BrightLine seems to have come along at a perfect time: Just as tens of thousands of financial advisors found themselves out of work, Yiersan came along needing approximately the same skill-set: the ability to sell an apparently-customized mix of assetsvatgrown nutrients to a gullibleterrified populace.
