Where is the media on this one? I would think that main stream outlets would be licking their chops for a chance to drag Bitcoin over the coals, using how ANOTHER Bitcoin business has imploded as justification. All I've seen is coindesk, newsBTC, and other small outlets have picked this story up.

How juicy does it need to be to fly on their radar?
-Insolvency after 25 days of the IPVO
-Stock traded on a unregulated securities exchange
-Holders of the stock have 0% equity in the company
-AWOL CEO
-Bitfunder mishap
-Mt Gox
-One of the leading and trusted voices in the community being involved (Andreas).*
I think that Mt Gox being picked up by main stream has peaked an interest of Bitcoin in the public. It didn't matter if the spin was pro or con, more people are now aware of Bitcoin because of it. I'm of the opinion that the only bad news for Bitcoin is no news at this point.

So come on CSNBC, Bloomberg, WSJ, Forbes, show Bitcoin some love (even if its the tough kind)!

*My belief is that Andreas is being authentic in claiming that he was just a technical advisor. That was a point made clear by him before the whole melt down (maybe he saw the writing on the wall).

12,000 BTC is 6,000,000 USD at current prices. I would love to have that money, but in business terms it is small. There must be (rough guess) at least 100,000 companies of that size in Europe, perhaps much more.

A small company in Cyprus is in trouble. Why should that be featured by Bloomberg?

Here in Brazil we had a Bitcoin Ponzi (BitcoinRain) that ate some 15,000 BTC from clients. It wasn't on Bloomberg either...

Good point, have to agree with you there. Although, I wouldn't put NEOBEE in the category of ponzi scheme just yet. Calmer heads will let the tape play out and see what unfolds. If it does end up being one giant scam, my hats off to whoever dreamt it up I mean, wow
