I've been reading this story about Autumn Radtke and this one is the only one that seems be even remotely honest about the whole thing: http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/03/05/bitcoin_ceo_suicide_not_so_fast_first_meta_s_autumn_radtke_is_dead_but_we.html (Besides the week old blog post he referenced that got no attention and stuck to the facts: [Suspicious link removed]j.com/digits/2014/02/27/american-ceo-of-singapore-startup-first-meta-dies/)

I am curious though, why has this been linked to Bitcoin at all?  As near as I can tell First Meta is primarily a site for trading online game currencies and not even a comprehensive list of them at that (where is World of Warcraft for example).  It looks like at one time they accepted Bticoin along with the gaming currencies almost as an afterthought.  I had to go all the way to their FAQ to find any reference of Bitcoin.  It doesn’t look like you can still trade in Bitcoin on First Meta at all.

Similarly her linked in profile makes no mention of Bitcoin other than that it seems to imply she attended a conference about it.

Where does this “Bitcoin Exchange CEO” even come from?

Clicking the “sell link” (https://firstmetaexchange.com/bitcoinconverter) for Bitcoin from the First Meta FAQ yields “Invalid Request”.

How do they come up with this shit?  

I'd go so far to say as this company had no more to do with Bitcoin than any random company doing anything that decided to accept Bitcoin as a payment method and then later for reasons unknown decided to stop accepting it!

Is this another story of standard media incompetence or purposeful disinformation?
