"My agents said they didn't post anything" is not a plausible defense that there are no shenanigans afoot. Your agent admits to astroturfing by commenting as you on Sep 7, which tracks: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49600098
1) Don't be obtuse. Why in the world would I create accounts with my OWN site's name?
2) I have thousands of registered users and many people want the site to succeed, so yes, it is a plausible defense.
3) It should be easy to go see what the IP of those users are. It's definitely not me.
edit: I have publicly complained about HackerNews shadowbanning me, so my hunch is one of my supporters/fans is doing to be helpful.
