What QS said is true. CCN is not a credible news site. They use lot of speculation and tell it's a fact.

@OP: I recommend you to message CoinTelegraph. You need to provide them with valid proof. CoinDesk is also good.

The article and the claims are garbage. I skimmed it once and I skimmed it again, it goes like this:

Bitcointalk is great
AMT + Joshua Zipkin sucks
We don't like Josua Zipkin *insert random old screenshots*
He would enjoy if Bitcointalk broke
Therefore Joshua Zipkin hacked Bitcointalk + add some question marks so can't be sued

If there is some actual evidence in there, please point it out.

So the full content of skype chats (in my sig) is not evidence enough? Kinda hard to make that much stuff up. Easy to check against the forums posts as well. And the screenshots are not random or old. In fact I challenge you to find earlier versions of those. I took those screenshots on the 25th to CCN as they were requesting them. They have unedited versions I provided as well but these are cropped to preserve the privacy of other people on my contact list.

And there is no hard proof he did do this. BUT there is plenty of evidence if one is looking. For instance. Joshua Zipkin's twitter has been very active with alot of SEO friendly links. Things that would bump him up on the rankings. This is something he is known for. In fact before mining this was his thing. Someone with his level of desperation would hire someone to bring this forum down. Considering that there are others in the same circumstance, its very plausible that he conspired with his family/buddies in KNC, Technobit and bitmine.ch to bring this down. Their petahash operation cant generate new business if their reputations are smeared here. Business is lost.

Joshua made it his mission to bring this forum down, there are others who can back this information up.

No, that is not evidence that he hacked anything. This quote just highlights the problems in the article:

There are other suspects, surely. Butterfly Labs came to many peoples minds...

BFL is NOT a suspect - a term which means a very specific thing - its just an entity that could potentially have a motive. And exactly the same falsified logic is used against Josh, all we have is him wanting the forum to be gone in posts from 6-12 months ago. Along with you detailed how you are able to manipulate the moderators and ck in particular... Continuing that, is Bicknellski a "suspect" of the hacking because he doesn't like the moderation / lack of moderation / perceived biasses of admins on here? No of course not, he's just another party in a huge line of people who may benefit from bct disappearing.

You see? You're trying to spin a conspiracy into "he did it" when its just that, a conspiracy. And CCN has run with it because clicks = money.

At any point was I never said he himself hacked the site. BUT I am reasonably certain based on ALOT of information I already have and have posted to this forum, that he had something to do with this. If he gets investigated I am sure something will drop regarding this. Since his last post on BCT the site has been hacked twice. This is not forensic by any stretch, but its certainly a lead and someone with extreme motive and means (money stolen from clients). So he certainly could have gotten someone to do this considering he approached me and others on this. Its worth investigating considering his other actions.
