Please don't tag us, if that means some kind of black mark, or something. I actually just put my job at NewsBTC on the line to reach out and force an investigation into the matter, and I am really not involved. This account is also jointly owned by other Bitcoin Co-op directors who are not even involved with NewsBTC. Our non-profit doesn't deserve negative feedback because I failed to pay close attention to a NewsBTC client I didn't pick up--I am honestly sorry for that, and trying to make amends.
If you are not involved in the project, why are you keeping the thread despite these *high alert* findings? Have you been paid to post the thread?
I assure you I have expended the greatest effort I can in getting to the bottom of this, despite launching my own (legitimate) coin at the same time while managing
CoinFest and
Blockchain Gaming.
No money has been invested yet, and I would not allow that to happen if this was a scam. Until it does, I request being given the benefit of the doubt about my involvement in the whole situation. We're actually discovering some interesting facts, right now, and have time yet to uncover them
Remove or lock the thread in the meantime. I don't think people trust the wording "force an investigation" whilst you keep the thread open and let more people get suckered into this, highly likely, scam.
