Its OhShei8e spreading lies over and over again. The Bitstamp guys are pretty well known, and are much more visible than Gox's wonderfully transparent CEO karpeles.
Stop to accuse others of lying! I do not know anyone from Bitstamp. That is a fact. But it's interesting to hear other opinions. If people have meet people of Bitstamp I think it's great. I've never been to such a conference. :-/
Karpeles is one of the good guys. I've only seen him on YouTube, but I trust him immediately. He's a nerd.
Bitstamp was at Bitcoin 2013 and other conferences. When was the last time you saw anyone from Mt.Gox at a conference? The answer is never.
Oh ya regarding Karpeles, you mean the guy who sits on an exercise ball during his interview and uses Clark Moody to look up the price of Bitcoin on his own exchange? Brilliant.
