Come-From-Beyond did some work for me in 2013 -- I never had any problems and he was generally quite helpful and easy going.

And then Come from Beyond's sidekick (Sergio of IOTA) attempted to get pull requests done to make it easier for him to patent troll Bitcoin:

https://github.com/BlockheaderNonce2/bitcoin/wiki

After patent trolling Bitcoin, they team up to release an IPO scamcoin named IOTA.  People like Come from Turkmenistan and Sergio have spent a lot of time in Bitcoin with no payday, so they get desperate looking for some kind of cash grab to monetize their time spent and come up with these scams.
