For god sakes people, another thread, one of any of the other dozen or so threads, PLEASE.
I suggest the untainted conference organizers publicly sever all ties with the Bitcoinica trio as soon as possible. This is only going to get worse.

I agree with this, your a stand up guy with a good reputation.
Your working super hard to do this conference, are you willing to take all this hate to keep the others on board?
