Well this is where just a doing research is really important. Now we know you had no intention of doing anything illegal. In addition, sometimes people forget to do the research.
Spending 2 minute looking up the folks who are working on the EOS blockchain locally would have revealed who Eric and Vahid are. In fact, Just the other day Ivan on Tech (who has 173,000 followers) was on his YouTube show and gave a "huge shout out" to Eric and Vahid from EOS Sweden. Someone responded that "We EOS Sweden and we are not Eric." Ivan's response was "I don't know who you are then. Because I know Eos Sweden and if your are not Eric, I'm not sure who you are."
What that demonstrates is that even though we are rebranding there are still thousands of people (influential people) who see us as EOS Sweden. Even when we tell them the new name -- which was only change a month ago they will still associate us with our old name.
It's clear you want to do the right thing. You have no intention of defrauding the EOS blockchain. If you did receive votes that were intended for someone else, what would you do?
