The only reason why don't write freakin word can have two major reasons IMFAO.

First, they don't want to admit that they were promoting an obvious scam before. When HKCex allegedly collected $3m it was spread all over the major BTC "news" websites. By the way, it seems pretty obvious that Coindesk (e.g) is getting paid to promote shady companies accepting Bitcoin anyways. Just take a look at those trading platforms they write/wrote about. Usually, they are the worst one can find. And they know! Or don't ever research those companies, doing C/P journalism.

The other reason is quite simple. They are part of that scheme and are getting paid to shut up.

Well, both scenarios are, at least, not very unlikely

Shame on those wannabe-journalists!
