I don't really understand what you mean by "a way to avoid a real discovery". How would this result in avoiding any real discovery? The responses, and all evidence, will be publicly available.
He doesn't have to answer any questions he doesn't want to. Legal will ask him to not answer 80%++ of the things you'll send his way. In a real discovery, you have to answer questions that are asked. To me, this sounds like a way to save on legal fees, have the community send you everything they think they may have. uhh, dude, he has been given numerous platforms to do this... reddit ama, miami in person, even on his own forum with the "30 days of questions/answers" bullshit. why do you think he all of a sudden changed his tune?
don't you find it a little odd that the guy can't answer ANYTHING that isn't pre-screened? this is just another shining example. he does not do/answer anything that he cannot control.
True, he already has 28 more questions to answer, let him start there. Hrmm, I see your point. Like I said, I don't really expect much out of this, but I was surprised when he actually agreed to my request for proof that the allegations against him were not true. Maybe I should just throw some of the questions that I personally have + the remaining AMA questions at him and see what response that garners. |

Surely you jest?
What an utter waste of time. What, something like this "hey josh why do you lie so much" 'no I don't".
Good god man.
Ask Josh the pathological liar con-man questions in written form.
Like his debate with theMage.
Stupid and pointless exercise.
You weren't expecting him to tell the truth this time were you? Just because he "approached" you.
Honestly, I don't expect anything. Still, to be fair, I offered him a chance to answer questions with PROOF. If the questions are returned with a bunch of BS, and nothing solid, then I don't expect anyone here would be surprised. That said, if he can truly disprove any of the accusations, then it is only fair to give them that chance. The confusion, and uncertainty surrounding GAW helps nothing. If this clears up even a small portion of that, then great. If anyone has legitimate questions they would like to ask Josh Garza, go here and fill out the form: http://coinbrief.net/questions-for-gaw-crowdsourced/ Please make sure that the questions you are sending are legitimate...as in, there is evidence to show that something GAW has said was wrong, there are documents / images that have not been addressed, etc. Josh reached out to me after our last article, and when I asked if he would be willing to answer questions, and provide evidence to back it up, he agreed. So, I'm crowdsourcing it. Sounds more like a fishing expedition for evidence, a one way discovery. I would prefer this to be shared in a real "legal discovery", at least then there will be an obligation to share... what you're suggesting now is nothing more than a way to avoid a "real discovery" in my opinion. I don't really understand what you mean by "a way to avoid a real discovery". How would this result in avoiding any real discovery? The responses, and all evidence, will be publicly available. |

Just got 3rd and final confirmation needed from an inside source to confidently say, Josh Garza has left the country.
I'm even told that he brought his entire family with him. Vacation? Convenient timing... Never heard of a CEO taking a vacation while their company was crumbling to the ground..... Oh unless there was a federal investigation underway, that sort of explains it.
Where are you getting this information? A friend at the State Department is supposed to call back today to confirm if he even has a passport for us. ^This. We've had reports of Josh leaving the country, but so far there is no solid proof that this is true. |

Yay, another conference. This is quite good, I would like to see Mr.Garza speak at SXSW with the help of this visual "aide": Protect Consumers from shady industry practices Enforce Transparency from Manufacturers Lead the Industry in Technology Adoption How and Why we got involved That is from July of 2014. I'm pretty sure that was used to pitch GAW / Paybase / Whatever else to banks, investors, etc. Edit: My mistake. I didn't see the SXSW 2015 * How to Start a $50M Cryptocurrency Business in under 90 Days at the bottom |

So, does anyone have a list of the top level members of GAW's team that have resigned/disappeared? I know Eric resigned a few weeks ago, and announced that at the end of January. However, I can't find much about the others, though it certainly seems like Joe Mordica may be gone: http://coinbrief.net/gaw-miners-sec-investigation/#JoeI'm trying to figure out who is trying to run away, as well as who is actually running GAW at the moment (other than Josh). Amber Messer seems to be gone (Executive Assistant). Jonah Dorman (General Manager) - not sure, but there is another GM listed on the website now. I'm guessing Christian Gogol as well, right? He wasn't at the very top, but he certainly had some authority in their Public Relations / Community Management department...but haven't heard anything mentioned about him since late December or early January. |

As far as hiring goes, freelance or an actual contract with a minimum guaranteed payout (amount in fiat, paid out in btc) in exchange for x amount of work hours per day? (as in, it becoems your offiicial job with the necessary paperwork) ?  We are mostly interested in freelance writers at the moment, but certainly could consider more permanent positions in the future. |

"PayBase has investigated these spurious allegations and confirmed that they are false." See...that is the part that is a dead giveaway here. How do they investigate and confirm that Coin Fire did not receive leaked documents? Obviously the SEC is not officially declaring whether or not they have an open investigation, as they responded to a FOIA request with a long winded,"No Comment" GAW, and it's legal team, could certainly be aware of an ongoing investigation, as the SEC may be demanding documents, records, etc. from the company, but that still would not tell them how many pages the investigation file contains, nor if a SEC insider leaked those documents. |

I think the answer to what the agenda is, is exactly how the reporters received these secret emails.
1. On Sunday Homer's 150$/week man-servant is shown emails showing the delay is due to the lawyers, the man-servant is given the green light to post on the forum that he has seen the lawyers emails it is their fault.
2. At the same time Homero sends the same emails to a handful of confidantes? Why? What does he say to them, 'look guys I am not lying here are the emails from my lawyer saying I cannot proceed'? Did he send them to this handful of confidantes solicited? Or did the respond to him having his man-servant view and detail them on his forum.
3. 2 days go by and two news .orgs surface with copies of these emails. The question is why? The bigger question is what exactly did the sender(s) say to the news .orgs? What part of the email did they suggest the reporters look at. 'hey look at these emails it confirms your story that there is an SEC investigation' or ' hey look at these emails see Homero isn't lying the lawyers have him tied up and he cannot proceed'.
What introduction and what was the given reason to each reporter as to why they should look at these emails. And why two days later if Homero did indeed CC all the confidantes on Sunday but just allowed his man-servant to post confirmation of them.
Our GAW source has sent us a lot more than just these emails, but most of it hasn't been very useful in terms of a full article. We have been building a folder on GAW for quite some time now, partially from the source that we received the emails from, but mostly from reaching out to various people, digging into GAW's past (and connections), and combing through as much information as we could find. We have just been waiting on something concrete to start stacking this information around. There was no real direction given to us regarding the emails. We have been receiving a constant stream of information, screenshots, logs, etc. from our source, but the SEC mentions seemed worthy of an article alone, simply because they contradicted what GAW had been stating publicly. Btw, Coin Fire may have received them earlier, but we didn't receive the emails until late yesterday evening. At that point, it was simply too late to get it moving forward. I spent most of the morning gathering various materials that I will be using over the next few days to finish fleshing this out, and getting the first part of the article posted. Anyway, it is time for me to go to sleep. Edit: Sorry if I am starting to repeat myself. I should have been in bed an hour ago. Hopefully this makes sense. |

The dates on the emails are January 30th and 31st.
In my eyes, even if he is playing that game, and leaking emails to people he knows will send them on, he seems to have expected more focus on the "stepping down" and "fighting to get the $20 paycoin repayment project going", which he could use. In fact, I am almost certain at this point that he was using it to try to manipulate the group of people he released it to, by seeming like he was fighting the good fight.
However, the interesting part to me, and it seems to Coinfire, was the admission of an SEC investigation. I can't see how that could benefit him in any way.
Can you guys publish the emails? I'm not sure yet. The agreement I made with our source included not directly publishing any of the content provided, but using it as reference (though I was given permission to share everything with someone highly respected in the community, that could be trusted to not release any of it, if verification of the material's existence was needed). However, now that it is coming out that multiple sources provided the emails to Coin Fire, it may not be as big of a deal to publish that part. That said, I still need to ask my source, and need to check with a lawyer to see if we can legally publish someone else's emails. Quoting it is one thing, but publishing the email itself is something entirely different. Well there you are
1. Call it the 31st, he is "told" the SEC is investigating. On the 1st he posts that blog claiming they are not
2. Call it the 31st where he says he will step down if he cannot deliver.
That one I must check the crowd he is playing to. The chants to step down might have been in the event he cannot deliver on the 1st he should step down etc. Still hedging and playing into their hands, because surely by the 31st he knows that he cannot proceed. Homero is sneaky enough to setup his next step in advance like this.
Will do some digging to correspond with what he set up. That is where he usually slips up, it address something specific someone says past or present which is how you know.
The odditiy is the SEC blog on the 1st. It reads again addressing specifics of a the claim of an investigation by the SEC rather than just being investigated by the SEC period. Perhaps there is a missing email he forgot to release or someone forgot to forwards which corresponds with that? That is yes Homero you are being investigate but no Homero it just started there are not 1000 pages against you etc.
Yes, the email on the 31st was the one that clearly stated that,"he SEC has recently started an open inquiry of GAW, you, etc". It says "recently" but that is a very vague term without context. The dates on the emails are January 30th and 31st.
In my eyes, even if he is playing that game, and leaking emails to people he knows will send them on, he seems to have expected more focus on the "stepping down" and "fighting to get the $20 paycoin repayment project going", which he could use. In fact, I am almost certain at this point that he was using it to try to manipulate the group of people he released it to, by seeming like he was fighting the good fight.
However, the interesting part to me, and it seems to Coinfire, was the admission of an SEC investigation. I can't see how that could benefit him in any way.
Can you guys publish the emails? In our case we are evaluating the options. As it stands one of our sources is really adamant he doesn't want dragged in to this in a public manner and is afraid that publishing everything would tip the hat to Ms. Van Cleef as to who shared the emails and bring potential legal action. Considering we had multiple sources (one of whom is very trusted and a source prior) we are trying to find a solution that lets us publish the most information without exposing the entire group or an individual member. We take the privacy of sources very seriously. It is one of the most important aspects to what we are doing and even the hint that we leaked information regarding who gave us the information is extremely damaging as we found with the last incident and domain hijacking. While the actual source name wasn't given several sources at the SEC are no longer replying to our emails, texts or phone calls out of fear. These are some of the issues we grapple with when handling this sort of confidential information and we are learning as we go and trying to stick to our guns as best we can. We have been speaking with attorneys at the EFF recently regarding protections afforded to our organization and the protection of sources since other parties are bringing legal guns to the fight. If your sources are not comfortable with you publishing the information they provided, but my source decides that he is, then we may be able to do it. Again, it would just depend on the legality of doing so. If you have some free time tomorrow, we can chat a bit if you would like. |

It's all bullshit orchestrated by Homero On Sunday Homero says: "If you had access to my emails, and could see how much I fought for a different outcome, and for days, you would not be questioning my empathy....."https://archive.today/iF13q#80%So what happens? We get to see the emails  What is critical and missing are the dates of the emails and snipped posted by these news outlets. As Confire points out in the latest there is a critical exchange: 1. Sunday Homero posts that there is no SEC investigation. 2. Coinbrief posts a snippet of an email saying that there is 3. Conbrief posts a snippet claimed to be prior to that where another lawyer is saying don't do that it would accelerate the SEC's attention What are the dates of these exchanges? Monday and Tuesday, the 2nd and the 3rd? After the claim that there is no SEC investigation on the 1st? Then again looking back at the paybase blog after all of this it seems to be specifying specifics inside an/the investigation not that there is not an investigation. But that is neither here nor there right now. WHAT ARE THE DATES OF THESE EMAILS? It will be easy to determine just how genuine Homero is being behind closed door. Not that one does not already know calls to step down started late last week on many forums ramping up after the failure on the 1st Sunday. Everyone knows Homero feeds off and responds to the crowd, for a fact he scours this forum and that other forum, even reprimanding people via IM on the other forum for what he sees being posted. On this forum after someone pointed out it could be a breach of lawyer-client priv. stating screenshots of emails were seen, he quickly revised that announcement of proving he was in talks with his lawyer. So, when exactly does Hero Homero state to he lawyer's he would step down if he cannot deliver as promised? Sunday night? Monday? Tuesday? after reading what everyone was saying? And not before? Why was that aspect even printed exactly? Note how it corresponds with the quote in the first place above: "If you had access to my emails, and could see how much I fought for a different outcome, and for days, you would not be questioning my empathy....."No one was asking about that or even cares, all they wanted to know (a) if that or any law firm was advising him and (b) if the law firm was the hindrance. Same goes for the dates of the SEC advise email from the one lawyer and similar mention from the other lawyer prior. Homero pulled this PR stunt before. Massive blog about how the community will build things, how it is proof that there is belief in paycoin when engineers, entrepreneurs, developers are spending their time and resources making things for it, because they believe in it. He posts that blog, then what do you know the same day immediately afterwards developed product and is announced by pretend independent developers, effectively validating his prophecy. What is the date that email leaked claiming to wanting to step down if he cannot deliver. Reads the crowd, fires off an email suggesting same to the lawyer, then leaks it like making it appear is he is a step a head of the crowd and is honorable on his own right. There are actually two waves of calls to step down last week and after the 1st. Depending on the date of the email, it will be quite easy to determine to which crowd he is playing to. The dates on the emails are January 30th and 31st. In my eyes, even if he is playing that game, and leaking emails to people he knows will send them on, he seems to have expected more focus on the "stepping down" and "fighting to get the $20 paycoin repayment project going", which he could use. In fact, I am almost certain at this point that he was using it to try to manipulate the group of people he released it to, by seeming like he was fighting the good fight.

He's gotta be ex sec or prosecutor. He's got many many connections and reports sec news. Homero ganza is extra fucked. Coinfire basically confirmed my suspicions earlier. This is good though, even more credible. I just hope coinbrief discloses any xpy holdings if needed . I can't speak for any of our authors, as I don't ask them about their personal finances (unless they wanted to write about some specific, random currency...then I would ask). However, as the author of this article, I can confidently state that I have never owned any XPY at all. I did, last year, purchase a few Scrypt ASICs from GAW. That is actually why I became interested in the company, as the machines were shipped to me quickly, worked great, were efficient, and were cheap for their hashing rate. Once they announced the Hashlets, I lost interest. I went through the checkout process on 1 Hashlet, to see how that was setup, but didn't complete the purchase. Since that time, I've just been observing. |

The domain was registered to Eric as he purchased it for us when the original domain was hijacked (we have to wait until a cooldown period ends to change the registration info as it is a .IO domain).
BTW, any news about the stolen domain? Is it lost forever? We are working on a report regarding that in the near future. Long story short, the registrar really messed up and it isn't looking good. Really sorry to hear that. We actually took extra precautions before publishing this after witnessing what happened to Coin Fire. I hope you are wrong, and it is eventually worked out...but either way, I look forward to reading the story when it is ready. I have been curious about the details regarding how that happened. |

I was advised by our legal team to run this program. I have been left out of many other legal meetings, and now being told we may not even do the program. http://coinbrief.net/gaw-miners-sec-investigation/His lawyers are actually banning him from meetings lol. This is some great stuff. CF:HT is now 3:0 or something like that. Looks like the shit is approaching the fan and gaining speed. Can they unplug said fan that's the question. Thanks for the compliments! However, quick note, Coin Brief is not Coin Fire. We are not affiliated with Coin Fire, though we do have respect for their work and have had communications with them in the past (specifically when they were first releasing information about the SEC investigation into GAW). We gave you a hat tip as well Keep searching for the truth! Yep, I noticed that. Thank you. Just sent you an email. Check it when you have a chance.

I am not questioning the integrity of either one of you guys, but my initial thought was Josh just paid someone to write a somewhat positive article about the situation with the Honors program to further delay this mess. There is very little communication coming from GAW and I am wondering how we can be reasonably sure that Coin Brief wasn't paid to write this? Oh, I understand. It is understandable, after everything that has happened recently. In all honesty, I think someone else already hit the nail on the head with this one. Reading between the lines it appears to me that he showed some of the emails to some true believers to try and appease them and they turned around and leaked them because they are tired of GAW's shit.
He leaked his own emails to people he thought were on his side. However, some of those people were not exactly "on GAW's side" anymore. I don't know about Coin Fire's source, but our source has been relaying info to us for a while. Most of it was relatively vague, and didn't have any immediately incriminating information in it. However, these emails were beautiful. |

I suspect that most recent Coinbrief article was paid for by Mr. Garza. It seems to play hardball, but what it really does is puts all of the blame of the past, current, and upcoming final failure of this shitshow on everybody EXCEPT Homero. "Awe shucks guys, I really tried so hard to hand out free $20 bills to everybody but the dad-gum gubment and lawyers fouled everything up! Gosh darn it, shucks, so sorry". That is what you call a fucking con man washing his hands of the last scam to move on to his next one. The timing of that and this creep of a con man announcing yesterday that "he has enough money now to start another company" along with him placing the blame for everything on the nasty Gubment and Lawyers is too coincidental.
Guesses on Homeros next scam company? I predict Garza eAutomotive Works which will hype a new type of electric car with Ultra Molecular Hybrid-Flex Batteries. Pre-Order starts Monday!!
"Forget Gas! This car runs on pure GeAWsome™!"
That is a very interesting theory. When I read the story there was a big 'ol paycoin ad right next to it. Yeah, we apologize for that. They purchased prepaid impressions on Coin Brief before this whole fiasco really got going. I explained this in more detail in my article explaining why I think Paycoin is dangerous. Due to the information uncovered in today's article, you are unlikely to see those anymore. That said, we do not publish "paid articles", so no, this was not commissioned by Josh, or GAW. I am not, in any way, suggesting that Josh Garza should not be held accountable for anything he, or his company, has done. I am merely trying to stay as neutral as possible (which is difficult), and not pass judgement...the judging is up to YOU (well, and the SEC it seems). I may think Josh Garza didn't intend to harm anyone originally, but I don't know that for sure. Either way, it doesn't really matter, because his original intentions are irrelevant. The actions they have taken, and the results of those actions, are the important part...and it doesn't look like the results are going to be pretty, no matter what happens next. |
