Respectfully, I think it's something that happens all the time, but we rarely admit it to ourselves. I wrote a whole post about it Admittedly, the topic "conspiracy" was an assignment, but I think definition 6 of "inspire" works here.
Of course, I'm only guessing and could be wrong. My point is I don't think it explains the restructuring - why get a bunch of amateurs (all respect to amateurs, I am one) to restructure your new asset when you have a whole corporation at your disposal? You'd restructure after taking control.
I think our willingness to believe the rumor (I get it, it's tempting) comes from a desire to believe someone has got it all handled.

I can only answer for myself on that one: there is no temptation in having someone else 'handle it all' for me. I wonder, are less Steemians looking to be centrally ruled than you're assuming?
Thanks for your article link, I liked it. :) If you're interested, I also spoke about conspiracies (secret plots), here.
Steemians less than most people, to be sure!
