My critic is aimed both at buymastercoin and the mastercoin fondation for promoting that shit. Still they didn't give any official statements although the question has been in this thread for some time now. It seems like the executive director is involved in this ripoff in some way.
Unless I am mistaken, ripper (Ron) has some connection with buymastercoin. This is certainly terrible for Mastercoin's image, but does the mastercoin foundation really promote buymastercoin? I didn't know that.
