maybe he did rip off some Bitcoin code.

Ignore it

Maybe? There's no maybe about it. John was caught red handed, dead to rights. Why are you pretending otherwise?

I politely reported the copyright violation (the code being a copy of Bitcoin Core run through an auto-formatter with all the attribution removed) as an issue on the github for the project and john-connor accused me of stalking him and then hid the issue tracker on that github from public view. :-/

I'm glad Greg Maxwell posted a warning about the fraud behind Vtrash.

"If you see fraud and don't shout fraud, you are a fraud". -Nassim Taleb

What does it make you when you see fraud, but then recommend everyone ignore the fraud?

Look what I learnt today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Swan_(Taleb_book)#Coping_with_Black_Swan_events

Quote

The main idea in Taleb's book is not to attempt to predict Black Swan events, but to build robustness to negative ones that occur and to be able to exploit positive ones. Taleb contends that banks and trading firms are very vulnerable to hazardous Black Swan events and are exposed to losses beyond those that are predicted by their defective financial models.

The book's position is that a Black Swan event depends on the observerusing a simple example, what may be a Black Swan surprise for a turkey is not a Black Swan surprise for its butcherhence the objective should be to "avoid being the turkey" by identifying areas of vulnerability in order to "turn the Black Swans white".
