[...] there is no honor amongst thieves... Because it might seem someone is getting of "scott free", but he has been set up for a life of hiding and looking over his shoulder. This - presumably, I haven't found the source doc yet - can be read in the FTC documentation:

[...]"Former employees and Mr. Zerlan, admitted that Defendants mined Bitcoins with customer equipment."


And here are thew sources:

Hello everyone I figure you might all be interested in reading Josh Zerlan's deposition.

This is on a freely available sight that archives acced court records.

And here is the FTC's rational for the court to order a preliminary injunction.

This one includes a chat with the principals:

You're not going to believe it, but Josh was the White Knight in all of this. He constantly champions honesty and divulging a proper timeline to customers. He was the one guy with some intelligence on how things should be run but no one wanted to listen to him. He's getting a bad rap and I know some of it is on him but see if the chats don't at least change you mind about some things.


I don't see anyway that BFL gets control back of the company after reading that chat. NAIL IN THE COFFIN.


Thanks! Ubercool,

but if I look at the dates I don't come to the conclusion of "Josh [being] the White Knight in all of this".

I see someone who's "selling out" and "leaving the sinking ship"...

That sounds more like the Josh we have all got to know these last couple of years...
