Don't let the title fool you - this is a fantastic article!

One of many "money" quotes:

Hearn: “I want to be in a professional environment again where people are grounded in some sort of business reality."

Yes, I bet he does. Hearn does what he does best, "pivoting towards the money". More so than any of us, who just use our occupations to pay bills, Hearn actively kicks Bitcoin in the gut while snuggling up with the competition. If you need a non-ethical developer, I guess waving loads of cash in his face is the best way to guarantee his loyalty. That is, until a better deal comes along...

Article is a decent read, but doesn't tell anyone who knows the backstory anything much different than they already know. *(And most of us have been here long enough to know exactly what Mike has been up to.)*

The article is an opinion editorial and since DCEBrief's target audience is outside of the cryptocurrency industry, they probably wouldn't know what to do with the backstory. lol

*(And most of us have been here long enough to know exactly what Mike has been up to.)*  Interesting... care to share??

Timm's Mike Hearn story is also posted in this sub, I would assume any salient details are in the article.

When you tender your resignation at your current employment there are several ways to do it. You can leave silently without a fuss or you could throw a fit and shit on the

tables and throw a few punches and be led out the building whilst people spit on you on your way out. Mike decided to try to sabotage his previous employer and when that

did not work out, he resigned and left the building... He then walked across the road and started to bad mouth his previous employer in public. You decide which way was the

most appropriate way to go out.  .... To top it all, he went to work for the competition.
