He's already the EDITOR in CHIEF of that rag.... He'll write anything for Pumpkin.
I ROFLOL when Bitcoinist had to take down the GAWMiners "interview" that Ganja recently paid for, to avoid a riot.
They have lost all credibility either way.
They took it down because I made them aware of the situation and as far as I can tell
they want nothing to do with GAW, Josh, or anything related to them. 
EDIT: As a side note from what I understand, BTC.com payments lapsed and the domain went to the original owner who then leased out the domain name to Bitcoinist completely outside the purview of GAW. I "Think" this is what happened.
Now that he is no longer an advertising, pimping revenue stream, they want nothing to do with him....it was never about principle from Nov. to March.
