If as many expect, the Intersango trio are eventually proven to be liable/culpable, it could be argued that the whole conference was sponsored by theives with stolen money.
BB.
This is rubbish, I've been responsible for the whole sponsorship side of the conference since day one, to say that stolen money was used for the conference is wrong in every way, unless you're calling me a thief.
This is what you will get if you continue to work together with them, accept it as it is. It isn't even spreading FUD if people tell you it is best to cut all ties with Intersango, you don't want to have angry people show up to wash their dirty laundry right in the workshops.
Cutting ties is one thing, accusing me of being a thief is another.
Then please do so! There is only one way to regain trust in this community: bitcoiners finally have to start
making those who scam and act irresponsibly with others funds outkast.The total lack of moral values let you greedy folk do business with whomever comes along as long as you are yourself not affected by their wrongdoing.
Money is power - be wise and challenge the source and destination of your funds. Everything has an effect - use your power for the good. (I can i.e. not explain the motivation of all those funding the pirate other than by greed )
I am not talking about karma when I warn you that relying on funding by these despicable subjects wont turn out well for you all. Look out for other sources - there is still time!
