I cut and pasted my response form the other Brock hate thread:
Truth from a long time friend, enemy, business partner & competitor:
Pretty amazing the amount of damage someone can do with some fake facebook accounts. I have to wonder what the agenda is here and if it has something to do with the Bitcoin Foundations elections...or worse someone trying to hurt Bitcoin as Brock is one of the most outspoken people in the Bitcoin space.
I clicked on Brock's timeline on his real facebook for the supposed above dates and he was in Los Angeles, California and not in Spain. Don't let someone troll you with fake facebook accounts.
Instead of reading all this made up crap and coming up with a bad opinion I suggest you reach out to him and talk to him yourself.
The true facts are pretty simple:
- Brock was associated with Rector when he was a teenager. I don't know any details. I personally think he was a victim. He has never mentioned it and I don't bring it up.
- Think about this one: Brock was my #1 competitor. If I could have used it against him I probably would have if there was something to use.
- Most everything is about money. People sue and make stuff up to try to get you to pay something. Sadly this is how it is.
- If you noticed on the lawsuit on his partners suing Brock for cheating his partners I took no part of because it was mostly lies.
- Brock makes more money for his investors that you know. He might fail in 3 out of 4 of his companies but that fourth one makes so much money for his investors which is why they keep investing in them.
- People get fired from businesses which why you only hear their side of the story and its always negative.
- I can also guarantee you without a doubt is Brock is a lover of women (so much that I fear that it keeps getting him into trouble).
From someone who knows all the facts. There is some agenda being played out here. What a better way to take one of Bitcoin's star advocates and link him to Paedophilia. This is FUD in the worst possible way.
As for Sunlot I suggest you guys read the FAQ before bashing it and make your own opinions and reach out to John if something isn't on there and get a real answer. Its your money after all.

From watching the video linked above, Brock seems to be very articulate about bitcoin and has a lot of experience with bitcoin projects and good and innovating ideas. (

Whether or NOT his participation in any savegox plan will be accepted by the Japanese court is still to be seen. It seems a bit problematic that the Japanese court had already seemed to have decided to go forth with liquidation; Accordingly, Brock and various other proposals have to convince the court to reverse itself and that some kind of rehabilitation of GOX would be the better path.
Personally, I believe that a lot of very good ideas are presented in the SaveGox FAQ, and there seems to be quite a bit of transparency in the questions that are answered in the FAQ. Certainly, it would NOT be good if genuine attempts to reimburse GOX account holders was NOT made, and the rehabilitation were merely a form of vulture capitalism.... or even a considerable problem if the GOX rehabilitation were to turn out to be a government ploy.
NONETHELESS, some kind of GOX rehabilitation seems better than liquidation, and hopefully the japanese court is seriously considering the various proposals and will arrive at a solution that is best for the GOX coin holders rather than merely protecting Gox business owners, such as Karpeles.
Who knows whether any GOX rehabilitation plan would ultimately resolve the various issues regarding the lost (or stolen) coins, but it may be worth several million to adequately investigate the matter. So far in spite of so much passage of time, there remains a lot of unanswered questions and purported facts that just do NOT seem to add up to anything other than some kind of insider running away with the coins (that is if more of the BTC do NOT show up).
