It seems that this account is used specifically to promote scam.

Actually it's a placeholder image.  Griff Petersen's image will go up soon.  Sorry if that created some confusion.

All professional photos are edited with Photoshop.

This project is not eBoost and your comment on eBoost, is unjustified.  eBoost is a good project and has a solid real community.

PatentTX is NOT an ICO.

I did not like that photo so we are updating Griff photo.  Once we get a new professional photo today of Griff I will update his picture.  Again sorry about the confusion, I was under the assumption this was done.  I contacted my web developer and if he does not get a proper picture today, his profile is coming down until we get one.
