On this topic and the "Monero Marketing" topic by ceti..
we see the Monero Shill's claiming David Latapie had no associations at all with the development team.
No one (knowledgable) ever claimed that.
Some (maybe me, I don't even remember) may have claimed that he was not a "developer" (in the sense of software development/coding).
Or that the Monero team has had nothing to do with his business ventures.
Both of these statements are true.
