Chaser: "Backlash over fake female speakers shuts down developer conference.
Male organizer also accused of secretly running female coder Instagram account."
Look at this toddler tantrum! "The amount of hate and lynching I keep receiving is as if I would have scammed or killed someone. But I won't defend myself because I don't feel guilty. I did nothing terrible that I need to apologize for."

It's 2023. If you still can't find anyone besides your white male friends to speak at conferences, time to step aside and get out of the way.
"Imagine a tech conference having no CFP, as they reach out to speakers directly. They successfully attract some of the most heavy hitter men speakers in tech, and 3 women speakers.
Now imagine my surprise that 2 of those women are FAKE profiles.
They do not exist.
Nada."
