The evil truth be that a lion chunk of pseudonews spreading across the web like a plague has the origin on zerohedge. Its run by bovarian or romanian 40 yo dude if Im not mistaken who seems to have moved to the US but apparently failed to spare a bit of his lifetime savings and buy a 10 bux SSl certificate for that site. Indeed Trustworthy source doh
The next stage of the investigation assumes someone has to contact CB-Dave guy (if he exists of course) and ask what he has to say.
Actually, ZeroHedge is a very sophisticated troll site...
Probably carefully crafted by at least 50 people on a Russian troll farm...
It's a brilliant mix of quality market info, comical conspiracy insanity and anti-American hysteria.
You do realize that Russia has entire networks (RT News) and massive trolls farms flooding the world with misinformation? Yes?
Nope, its a european dude for sure, 40 yo or so, probably not russian. At least Im not aware of sources claiming their origin to be in russia.
Bloomberg article reads:
The answer, it turns out, is three people. Following an acrimonious departure this month, in which two-thirds of the trio traded allegations of hypocrisy and mental instability, Lokey, 32, decided to unmask himself and his fellow Durdens.
Lokey said the other two men are Daniel Ivandjiiski, 37, the Bulgarian-born former analyst long reputed to be behind the site, and Tim Backshall, 45, a well-known credit derivatives strategist. (Bloomberg LP competes with Zero Hedge in providing financial news and information.)
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-29/unmasking-the-men-behind-zero-hedge-wall-street-s-renegade-blogIt appears he is 37 and from bulgaria. In the bogus draft about china's ban, they were referring to a banner popping up on a bloomberg terminal in one moment of time which was thereupon taken down for good reason. It was something like "China said to mull fund outflows via bitcoin on yuan drop". So the assumption be that zerohedge were probably possessing some kind of knowledge about that message / banner whatever it was since they were first to pioneer the media outlets with the original bogus article. Its hard to guess.
But the IRS/NSA will methodically screen out high value targets and go after Bitcoin milllionaires and Devs...
Actually Peter Thiel administers to Trump's needs. Currently under official appointment. So its not all that bad.
