Companies do it all the time. Like kfc taco bell ect all owned by yum brands. Maybe if they fail their brand won't be tarnished, but failing doesnt mean scam, such as Basic refunding people. All and all this is wild speculation, someone can contsct OR and ask if they have any ownership stake or how the partnership came to be.
Until then i would just wait for more info
Are you calling my theory wild speculations.
https://twitter.com/m_erlandssonCheck out his posts and who he follows. Been involved with Bitcoin since 2010.
Ironically, the first person he followed was...wait for it...Gavin Andresen.
Yes, they are wild speculations... at best.
I've been involved in bitcoin since 2011... does that mean that my company with 300 employees is on a secret mission to rip of customers, going downtown to find some puppets that I can setup to take the fall, does that sound reasonable to you?
More and more people get involved in bitcoin from all the buzz from the media, including companies. It's inevitable that people from different companies will know each other, as well as partnering because they have experience that the other doesn't. Remember that Sweden is relatively small, 4.5 mill working force... not that much.
Also, the companies in Sweden don't have the power to run the politicians like they do in US and we aren't that big on conspiracies either (It's a cultural thing).
