So did it seem like some kind of weird scam, or what?

  Presumably it's to trick whitehats into tipping off the hackers that their code was being analysed and had been successfully deobfuscated, so the hackers knew they needed to move to a different attack. It's actually quite devious, like a reverse honeypot that the bad guys use against the good guys, exploiting their empathy.

    That would be clever!

  No, maybe a joke? Or serious...
