Hitler was a bad guy, and those closely aligned with Hitler were dubbed bad guys.

BFL, et al., are bad guys and if you're closely aligned with any of its principals, you're labeled a bad guy since you've opted to not distance yourself from them.

Same true for every bad actor occupying the cryptocurrency space.

That said, list names of bad actors. Also, list names of only venerable entities.

Bitmain (antminers) has been good, but looks like they may have taken a page out of the Sonny and "K" of "KnC" playbook on how to make money when your customers don't. Hopefully Bitmain will realize that customers buying mining equipment generally expect to make a return on investment, meaning something better than the equipment just paying for itself and operating costs. Running a money pit isn't done for fun and isn't a hobby either. No problem with mining equipment manufactures making a profit as they have to in order to stay in business. However the manufacturer shouldn't be the only one in the equation making a profit.

I've been keeping an eye on Bitmain, and at this penning I can't easily justify putting them on either list, albeit sometime after the roll out of the website, I'm sure they'll fit comfortably in one of the categories if they continue to swing toward the dark side.
