The problem with TBI's stance is that he's threatening to publish the information unless Vessenes and Matonis step down, which implies that he won't publish it if they do.

That's not bringing transparency to the activities of the Foundation. If he has evidence of wrong-doing, then he should publish it whether or not Vessenes and Matonis step down. If he doesn't, then he becomes complicit in the "cover up" he alleges is occurring.

He's rapidly becoming the kind of media whore he yesterday accused Leah McGrath Goodman of being. Unless he's willing to publish and be damned regardless of whether or not Vessenes and Matonis step down, then he's not a crusader for truth at all - he's just another egomaniac seeking validation.

I agree completely. His approach does raise questions about his motivations. If he really just wants the resignations, why not just publish it and expect the resignations to come, as they should, after the information is released and if it is true.

His last major revelation (the MtGox Crisis Strategy Draft"), was given to him like a gift by some insider who is "well connected in the industry", and it definitely had an impact on the market. Why did the insider give the draft crisis document to a blogger in the first place? This latest revelation MAY have a similar impact on the market too. Where did TBI get this info about corruption at the foundation?

Perhaps a market impact was always the intention. And his latest blog is constructed to provide maximum Drama.

According to Ryan Selkis (TBI)'s LinkedIn page: He is "the Founder of Inscrypto, Bitcoin's decentralized, privately funded version of the FDIC. We reduce volatility for consumers while helping hedge funds invest in bitcoin."

Not saying that Vessenes and Matonis are innocent, but it just makes you wonder what's really behind all the style.
