It's funny, the line of defense from the start of all this up until now have been:
1.  Those skype screenshots are fake.  Dan is not working with Prom nor is he the dev of Hal.
2.  When the screenshots were confirmed to be true, the defense turned into:  Oh, Dan must of have not known that he was engaging in unethical behavior
3.  And now you're saying that all evidence were hearsay anyway
What's going to be the next defense now that I've explained why the evidence is not just hearsay?
The defense, as in Dan Metcalf's defense, has always been that he did no coding on HAL.
Dan's defense has never been any of the things you stated above.

In other words you are ignoring Dan Metcalf's own defense.

Here Dan explains his position. You need to deal with that.

I'm just saying those are what some supporters keep using as defenses.  I'm not saying those are Dan's defense.  His only defenses so far is just simply denying everything and calling everything FUD.  

Okay, so either Prom is lying or Dan is lying.  Are you saying that Prom lied about Dan being the dev of Hal?  What do you suggest would be the reason that Prom would lie about that?  Also, if Prom lied, then why did Dan claim that Prom was "ethical" in one of his statements?  There's a big inconsistency there.


One of the hillarious things about the attack on Dan is that we have some people claiming he coded HAL and other people claiming he can't code at all.  Grin

I personally don't know if Dan can code or not, but Prom clearly stated that Dan was the dev of Hal in the skype screenshots.  I interpreted that as him being the main creator of Hal, regardless of whether he coded it or he had someone else code it for him.  Supporters keep saying everything was public knowledge.  Dan being the main guy behind Hal was not public knowledge.  And he did a "code review" for Hal under the impression that he was a third party who had nothing to do with Hal.  You honestly don't see anything wrong with that?

The prometheus chat just shows Prometheus saying Dan Metcalf was  "hal dev"...what ever that means.
It could mean he was a dev who was looking at HAL's code.
This is the only interpretation that makes any sense, as we know that many coins had asked dan to look over their codes.
Why would they do this? Because they knew Dan was respected as a developer.

You're joking right?  How can you get "Dan was a dev who was looking at Hal's code" from something as clear as "Dan is Hal dev"?  That sure is a lot of blanks to fill in there.


Also, it's clear that Dan and Prom works together (Dan said so himself at the end of the interview).  I'm very curious how you feel about that.
