Is this the guy who got a scammer to carve a wooden keyboard? Legendary

This looks like the "scambaiter" actually scammed an artist into making some pretty sweet art under the guise of a scolarship. Am I missing something, or is this actual fraud?

419 Eater was a place to show-off, coordinate, discuss tactics, etc. Topic: Scambaiting

I believe it's origins were going directly after the scammers behind an advance-fee scam, a.k.a. the "Nigerian prince scam". 419 is in reference to some criminal code.
