+1 the people who have forum handles here and are associated with the something aweful forum need to come out here and say they are - so we can separate the trolls from real members - what do you say about that? if we find more then half come from that stupid forum then Bruce is being attacked falsely...I suspect this.

I'm from somethingisawful.com. Can you really claim a false attack when we're just pointing out stuff that's really easy to find on the internet? I used to defend Bruce. Sure, I didn't agree with his views on bitcoins, but I thought he was a lovable dupe following his dream.

It's hard to hold that opinion when you find information that he was involved in a mortgage scam stealing money from people, though:

Please explain to me how it's a 'false attack' when the article is from 2007 and none of us knew he existed back then.

At least you are honest I'll give you that

. I wasn't referring to the "mortgage scam" I don't have an opinion on it and wasn't my point - we've all done something wrong once in our life. I was pointing out as for as I know somethingawefull is troll board that mobilizes to bring down people either right or wrong ... in this case most likely wrong - is this correct to assume this? I see no good of a board like that compared to this where there is actually intelligent talking going on ( minus the scams) . I mean correct me if I'm wrong in my thinking? Also, you have full right to be member of that board I just wish people were more honest like yourself!
