What did he do that requires him being terminated?

I thought TheSwede and Labcoin are one and the same.

I've talked to Sam, and he said he'll be fired soon  :P

What did he do that requires him being terminated?

It is what he does not do, like post. He is utterly non-existent in the labcoin thread and most of his posts are "no updates". He is terrible at PR. The worst of it is, is that he makes promises he cannot keep. He has made a few deadlines that were not kept....I can understand when problems occur, but then be more vague and don't say things like "48 hours". He said that he was unable to post because of lack of internet (he was traveling). His job is like 90% internet posting. A reliable internet is like the bare minimum of what he needs for his job. There are ways to connect to the internet while traveling after all. Whatever they are paying him is too much. </rant>

Gotcha, so your saying he is as bad as Amir from TerraHash.

Voted no, he is likely powerless, labcoin fails to communicate with him or on the forum.

If so, he'd better quit himself to save his own reputation.

He hasn't been useful lately. It took him 48 hours to see that is latest announcement was pointless.
And I think it looks unprofessional that someone who handles the PR for a multi million dollar company puts affiliate links in his signature.

Now I seriously suspect TheSwede is manipulating the market. Look at what he did so many times.

Vote yes, but not because I think that TheSwede is doing a bad job. I think that he posts the information that is provided to him, which is very minimal. I see that removing him from the equation puts the pressure where it needs to be - on Labcoin management for making regular updates and holding them to their commitments.

On the prospectus Samuel Noi is listed as the PR representative. Possibly one of the worst in the business.

You guys are hilarious. TheSwede was hired to do their PR. friedcat? Announcements every 3 weeks, at best. kslaughter? A rare sight.

The concept as TS75 as PR person was great, especially during the IPO. However, the LC team has deemed PR one of their lowest priorities. You have to strike a happy medium between posting meaningful updates and proof once in a while and kowtowing to every whim of the idiots present in that thread.

So, I do wish LC was more responsive, bit this is clearly not TS75's fault. He gets the information and then communicates it to the shareholders. If he doesn't have any news, what else is he supposed to do? His title isn't Labcoin-PR, is it? He goes on other threads and subforum like any of us. LC sought to instill confidence in the operation by picking someone with a decent history on the boards instead of making up their own no-rep PR mouthpiece.

I know this stock is popular because the price is no barrier to entry to anyone, but come off it, really.

TheSwede is doing his job, and he's doing it with limited information.

I trust the LC team, but I've done business with them before, so I have more reason to do so

They'll just hire another scapegoat =/

1) No - I believe you could not be more wrong.
2) Even if you are right, you have zero proof of this, therefore you are a FUDster and are now on ignore.

I trust The Swede plenty - I just think that LC needs to better define what their PR person should be doing. I'm confident that The Swede is doing exactly what he's been asked to.

This is absurd.  He can't offer what he hasn't been told.  OP you should delete this thread.  Trying to get a man fired for telling you all he can is plain wrong.

Right now you're like John McCain dropping trou to shit all over Susan Rice.

please remove this - its just wrong. Swede is facing the same lack of communication that the shareholders are, the guy isn't malicious.
