I haven't had a lot of interaction with Lauda and am only familiar with some of the controversies.

We chatted via DM about some topics and I found your knowledge impressive. I've never really known how to interpret you but in your dealings towards me personally I have always found you to be fair.

I have a lot of respect for what you have done for the forum and in the bitcoin community.  While I didn't always agree with your methods, or your conclusions , you have served as an effective bogeymam / woman / cat to prevent a lot of people from getting scammed.

Good luck with your future ventures.
