I find it disturbing that the CEO of the Bitcoin Foundation files a lawsuit against another board member only two weeks before the Foundations much touted Future of Payments conference. The lawsuit couldnt have waited until after the conference, after Peter and Mark had an opportunity at the conference to meet for an hour or two in a last attempt to works things out? Was Peter thinking about how this would affect the conference including the negative publicity for Bitcoin leading into the conference?
Good point, which any intelligent businessman and upstanding individual of this community would've taken into account before coming with this knee-jerk lawsuit. Now, the press at the Conference is going to ask a lot of questions about this lawsuit. As we know - the press loves controversy and drama, and now this - a cryptocurrency, a foundation were board members sue each other. It's going to be lots of articles about this.
But then again, somebody said, you're not a real company until you get sued..
I feel sorry for Karpeles - he'll be walking into a lion's den at the conference. It looks to me like BC Foundation trying to do a hostile takeover on Mt Gox. Gavin is staying mute, Ver claims he knew nothing, the others are silent. Rubbish, they've been planning all of this for months!
