I'm guessing there are better ways to try and "educate the public" than secretly paying influencers to shape the public's opinion. And now that they were discovered they've just made it a lot worse for themselves because they lost all credibility on the issue. Also, is it even the central bank's role to do stuff like this? Shouldn't it be a political or governmental issue?
