[python-uk] Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science

Seeing as this comes from a hushmail.com account (anonymous service I
believe), and says some not very nice things about a particular
individual I think it can be taken with a pinch of salt.

Academic conferences don't make mega-bucks, even if you ran a corrupt
one you'd have to offer something else along with it (visas for
entry). Which would get you noticed by the authorities pretty quickly.

If you are going to make these kind of claims against someone you
either need to have a good reason to hide your name or you publish and
be damned.

Mr Arabnia's side of the story seems a lot more plausible.
