Title: Coindesk report based on fake "crisis document"? Post by: T.Stuart on February 25, 2014, 10:25:23 PM I've been following the blog of Two-Bit Idiot, the Coindesk writer who broke the news of the Gox "crisis document" 24 hours ago.
He has written a new piece making vague accusations of all kinds of skullduggery. http://two-bit-idiot.tumblr.com/post/77817993185/motives-disclosures-suspicions-mt-gox-update#comment-1260426949 A lot of the people commenting are suggesting the "crisis report" is a fraudulent document, photoshopped bullshit, or whatever. I directly called out Two-Bit Idiot about it and said, not rudely, that I thought he knew it was fake. He quickly deleted my comment without any reply! Have a look at the guy's Twitter, stuff on reddit, etc. Not a lot of people believe the dude's material. His deleting my post - which was not at all rude and a perfectly straightforward point that he could have simply rebutted - when other posts have sworn at him, makes me not trust the guy at all. Anyway read his latest stuff and see what you think. EDIT: I made a comment about him deleting it and he quickly put it back - but still no reply!

Title: Re: Coindesk report based on fake "crisis document"? Post by: sobriket on February 25, 2014, 10:50:16 PM The issue is that it seems the update on Gox.com registrant information occured after the publication of two bit idiot's report. Of course someone may have let him in early on that, but it seems a bit unlikely to me this is the elaborate hoax made by him you suspect it is...

Of course someone may have let him in early on that, but it seems a bit unlikely to me this is the elaborate hoax made by him you suspect it is... I know it might be a bit direct to ask him outright, but why couldn't he just reply rather than delete my post and then quickly return it again when I point it out? I hope he gives some more info on his sources soon because so far everything, and in his new post also, is unverified. |
