Usagi,
I just wanted to correct a couple inaccuracies with your post, as it was brought to my attention by a user on the #bitcoin IRC channel. Dave Hollis is in no way employed by Coinabul, nor do we associate with Dave in any context marketing or otherwise. The only capacity in which Dave was ever affiliated with Coinabul was during a short few-week period over a year ago some months prior to our public launch during beta testing. Dave was a totally unpaid intern under the direction of my President of Marketing before he was let go for a variety of reasons. His accounts were deactivated, and we have not kept in touch since.
When I saw this topic, I immediately left him a message instructing him to remove any and all links to Coinabul from his personal accounts- we do not condone ANY of his behavior whatsoever, and he has zero involvement with Coinabul in an official capacity or otherwise. As a major Bitcoin business we are linked to and promoted by a wide variety of sites and users but do not endorse any of the opinions of our fans unless explicitly stated by us.

Thank you. I KNEW (strongly suspected) that this was an independant action on his part and that Coinabul did not condone this. I actually have a lot of respect for you guys because I am a gold bug (silver bug!) myself. Which is why I was so surprised to see the link. I will also make that a little more clear than it was in the OP.
I do however remain surprised and mystified that he advertises himself as a marketing executive at coinabul on his linkedin page (

Perhaps it is merely out of date and the error was on my end? Then again, as he never was an executive and merely an unpaid intern that is still really weird.
