Culprit(s) Identified

In our post on Monday we asked our supporters to look out for any of the counterfeit job postings, and thanks to your loyal enthusiasm we have now identified the person or persons responsible for posting them.  It seems that there was a small group of operative aides that have been feeling left out since when we advertise that an operative is working on something we never explicitly recognize the team of aides supporting that operative.  The aides have been dealt with appropriately, and will not be repeating their mistake.  As a side note, the policy of the GNU Public Dictatorship is to use code names for operatives and their support staff.  When we report that "Viktor" uncovered a large conspiracy, for instance, we mean that the operative whose code name is "Viktor" (in this case Eduardo Hans Gottlieb*) was the one putting himself in harm's way but also that his support staff (who will remain nameless for their protection) probably helped him in researching or placement or extraction.  We aren't giving glory to the operatives or their support staff directly, but to both of them indirectly.  We hope you will all understand, and for all of you support staff, we sincerely hope we won't have to deal with you as well!

* Most of the time our operatives' names are never revealed.  The case of Eduardo Hans Gottlieb is different, as we thought for a while that he had died a horribly messy death in the middle of a key operation.  We wrote his obituary a few months after his apparent passing and then learned that he hadn't actually passed away.  In most cases we would retire the moniker "Viktor" and assign a new one, but since all of his living relatives and friends are already operatives for the GPD, the precaution seemed unnecessary.
