Arghh... The LA Times is quoting Mark Williams in an article on the Coinabul mess: http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-bitcoin-defrauding-20140729-story.html

How they can present that guy as a valid opinion for anything bitcoin related is beyond me. Don't know why it annoys me so much, but it does.

The author is Riley Snyder. I think people should point out to him what a terrible source Williams is. His twitter handle is: @RileySynder . CCing @latimes probably wouldn't hurt either. And he can be emailed here: Riley.snyder@latimes.com

Why blame bitcoin? Is gold not just as much at fault if this is a bitcoin to gold service. Users can prove payment in bitcoin. They can't do that with gold. It seems to me that gold would be more at fault... that is of course if you want to blame the tool and not the site operator.

Good point.
