Dug a little and found the Fargo insult episode. Darned near all of the really bad shit (posted by brand new accounts) was deleted.
These off the wall hate posts are so over the top it makes me wonder if they are not actually some sick Cointelpro from the GAW camp to discredit what is being said here in this thread. After all, GAW does not have a leg to stand on when it comes to facts, so the best they can really do is try to discredit the messenger. Plain old mounds of useless bullshit posts from obvious shills was not getting the job done to hide the truth being exposed here. Is it coincidental that out of the blue our crippled reporter who is obviously a GAW shill of some sort (knowing or unknowing) shows up in this thread at the same time someone who seems like he was scientifically designed to attack him in the most vulgar manner possible? I smell a rat. The kind of a filthy smirking rat that would stoop as low as something like this so he could shield himself and continue a scam.
Food for thought gentleman, I bid you all goodnight.
Here is where Fargo started stirring the shitpot to make himself a target for obvious (to me) staged slur attacks:
I am not paid by GAW nor have I been. I write about many companies and I am not paid by them either.
Lie much, asshole?
And here I found this gem while the night of the 2nd was heating up. This was well before the Emails confirming that he was in Josh's pocket were revealed.
It's ok I understand. People are concerned and we as a Bitcoin community world wide has been burned by scams and disasters like Gox and BFL along with others.
GAW is doing something new and that has some people excited and others upset and afraid of another huge scam and disaster. We all have worries and the next several weeks will show if GAW can do it or not. We will have more info on just want the deal is or is not with retailers, we will see if they can get their debit card and bill pay going. If they do it will be good if not we will see why. There are many companies trying similar things even ZeusMiner stopped making hardware to focus on the cloud and their payment system. We are seeing an evolution in Bitcoin and the industry with many players doing all sorts of stuff. It is exciting and nerve raking as there is real money involved and peoples lives.
We as a community need to support each other and at times agree to disagree and move on from there.
I promise you if I find hard evidence GAW is a scam I will get the news out ASAP. I am looking at things people are worried about and I ask more and more difficult questions of GAW and others. So far there are some rumors and flags but also some things that have moved forward and a huge community that supports them for better or worse. That is what all coins want and need are committed communities. That is what gives them value and gets them used.
Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies are the cusp of another evolution of how we interact with each other and have a monetary system backed by the faith of people and not governments who do not always have our best interests in mind. Bitcoin is changing things and I think for the better.
I am excited about what was started in 2009 and want to see where were are in 3009.
Happy New Year and Best Wishes to you and everyone. :-)
That is a well written and concise pile of contrite ass covering horseshit. The fact of the matter is that Josh Garza and his company GAW repeatedly lie about everything, all day, every day, with reams of direct evidence showing so. The guy can not even complete a sentence without contradicting himself. And your readers are supposed to believe that you are an actual reporter and you can not find hard evidence? I have to call bullshit on that one. You are either completely inept as a journalist or a complete liar.
Case in point:

There was a massive security breach with Paybase that allowed thousands of people to directly access other people's accounts showing balances and giving detailed information about the account holder. You reported it was "static data of customer sessions" and that "No coins or Private data was lost" . That sir is not bad journalism, that is an outright lie. Balances and account holder information is definitely private data, and I am certain you are well aware that anonymity for many people investing in crypto currencies is paramount. Did you previously work for the NSA where they record every telephone call people make and then call it "meta data" or what? That report was a total disgrace, and the fact that you will lie directly to people's face's means that you have no respect for them and think they are fools that will believe whatever you write. Well, you can count me out of the group. And then the fact that the powder puff bullshit "article" (GAW press release) is framed by GAW ads completely shreds any amount of credibility that someone might still mistakenly have for you. Perhaps you should spend your time trying to blow smoke up people's asses somewhere like HashTalk where they are gullible fools and the forum is run by the guy keeping your lights on.
