It's a great sorrow for me to see fillippone in this situation and I would like to state a few words on this matter...

I know fillippone for a few years now and I don't mean that I know him in the sense "oh, I saw that guy on the forum; he is quite active". I came to know him better than that.

Objectively speaking, I noticed how many useful threads he wrote, in the attempt to help newbies, beginners and the community as a whole. If I am to name only a few of his best writings, I would mention these ones:

Everything you wanted to know about BTC futures but were afraid to ask!
Everything you wanted to know about BTC options but were afraid to ask!
Stock To Flow Model: Modeling Bitcoin's Value with Scarcity
Comprare Bitcoin senza KYC: Bitcoin Bancomat a Milano rispettoso della Privacy (from Italian)
#meritislife: how to be notified on a smartband of merits and mentions
Everything you wanted to know about Grayscale BTC Trust but were afraid to ask!
Securing Your Seed Phrase with Washers
5 Resources to teach Average Joe about Bitcoin

As you can see, some are also very long. I can't even imagine how much time he had to dedicate in order to write all these... In particular, the topic Securing Your Seed Phrase with Washers also needed physical work for writing it!

Subjectively speaking, I had many interactions with fillippone in the past years. He proved himself as a very friendly person, always willing to help, always polite, decent, with a lot of common sense and, also, with a lot of knowledge about Bitcoin. It was a great pleasure to meet such a person and to have the chance to collaborate with!

Having all these in mind and seeing how many great contributions fillippone brought to the forum I can say that I see him as a very trustworthy person, someone I would fully trust to work with, to collaborate on various projects, to make financial deals with -- with no risk.

Knowing him in the way I do, I would go even forward, by saying that I am seeing fillippone as unable to cheat anyone. His very high moral standards and, over all, the way he is constructed, always willing to help those in need -- all these make him (at least, in my eyes) as someone unable to harm.

Due to all the above mentioned aspects I can say, while being 100% sure, that fillippone did not deserve the negative feedback he received, as he is not a thief, not even a wannabe thief and he never tried to scam anybody. Nor he ever will.

Once again, fillippone, I am sorry for all this situation. But keep being who you are, the way you are, as your way of being -- your behavior at large -- made you one of the best forum members, someone appreciated the same way as you appreciate the ones around you!
