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!"

The emails were already setup to go to the groups. Maybe it had something to do with what Suchmoon said about them using gmail as the email provider. The genius part and the reason you know they really are geniuses at work is that the google groups were all set to public. By default spiders do not crawl google groups so unless you knew the URLs nobody would ever see the groups anyway. What happened yesterday is that the URLs were posted in this thread making all of the geniuses emails publicly visible.
The reasons they went offline while people were viewing them is someone made them non-public. I did notice a conspicuous absence of vlad during all of that.
