After reading the info on that site, i'm scared to keep holding my WDC bag.  Sad

And that the charts are now under 20000 satoshi doesn't make it better.

WDC was my first alt coin.

Here is an excellent post of one active member in WDC community http://worldcoinforum.org/topic/1427-debunking-the-wdc-scam-accusations/

"Accusation # 2: Scharmbeck or UNOCS

Many people claim Scharbeck equals to WDC. This is as ridiculous claim as claiming bitcoinstore.com equals to BitCoin, or Mt Gox equals to BitCoin or Credit Suisse equals to dollar."

This is complete BS. The Bitcoin Foundation never pumped bitcoin by advertising bitcoinstore.com. The majority of the board of directors of the Bitcoin Foundation doesn't run Mt. Gox. In fact, the Bitcoin Foundation very seldomly promotes new services. Any time they have in the past, it's been very low key, and just listed them on a website. On the other hand, the majority of the Worldcoin Foundation ran Scharmbeck, and hyped it up at every opportunity. And the fact is, the Worldcoin Foundation banked nearly the entire future of Worldcoin on one "seperate" corporation.

Nobodies disputing the connection between Scharmbeck and the Worldcoin Foundation.  The dispute is that Worldcoin AKA WDC is a virtual currency using a decentralised cryptographic network and yet inconceivably people still say it's connected like it's at fault.  Worldcoin did nothing for no better reason, that is incapable of doing anything other than simply existing.  

I think your point about who was on the board of the Worldcoin Foundation Vs who was on the board of the Bitcoin Foundation is unimportant.  Any board member who has a direct conflict of interests on a board (whichever foundation) is in a position where they could take advantage of it.  1 person, or 3.  It does not matter.  As for your assertion that Bitcoin Foundation did not do anything to promote Mt. Gox, well although i can honestly say i do not know they did not, i can also say i find that highly unlikely.   Even a report on Mt. Gox on their site is advertising, and i'm sure they would have done it somewhere.  But that's by the by because i don't think there's anything wrong in that, who is on the board however, is another story.
