I know MrCoins is actually a very nice person, who is very devoted.
I would love to know what information that comment is based on.
Also this question has been asked a few times but I can't find the answer. If those emails last night were released by a hacker, why were the google archives blocked so quickly? Wouldn't the hacker want to keep them up for maximum damage? Or did GAW complain directly to google to have them shut down?
Ideas in no particular order
- hacker/disgruntled GAW insider got cold feet after seeing the instantaneous shitshow this caused
- these groups were set up by GAW to facilitate the SEC response and they are so dumb they didn't realize everything was public
- deliberate leak by Josh because somewhere in his addled brain this will get him out of the SEC investigation/other criminal charges because he can say he got "hacked, LOL sorry kthxbi!"
DMCA takedown notice is also a possibility, although I'm not sure if it would work that quickly.
Regardless, enough juicy bits have been archived, I wish I had more time to read all this. It looks like for the last couple of months at least GAW has been operating from dump to dump, i.e. an invoice comes in, it's ignored until it's followed by legal threats, then miraculously it gets paid if it's deemed important, otherwise continues to be ignored. Like the BTC.com installment ($1 million purchase LOL), that one was important apparently. But the electric bill wasn't, let's just shut the hashlets down, who cares.
