Nice to see you step foot in here once in a while and interesting post as well. Two and a half weeks before the doom in Greece but hopefully the have tools to oust themselves outside of the XBT provider that is opening this next week. Could get rowdy at a certain point.
TBH, I'd be more concerned about news like this (c&p from my own post on another thread):
Yianis Varoufakis, as it's been revealed from a tabloid "Proto thema" was an ACTIVE advisor of a Singapore based Bitcoin company. This position was allegedly held by him up to 2015.03.31, two months after the elections in Greece where the people elected him as our Financial Minister.
The company is
http://www.tembusu.sg/ where one can find the profile of him, together with all the other members of the company, where it's clearly stated that he has the role of "consultant".
Who are the people behind TRUST?
Tembusu Systems is the company behind TRUST. The founders are Andras Kristof, Jarrod Luo and Peter Peh. They are supported by a highly experienced team of advisors, including: Mikkel Larsen, Managing Director of DBS Prof. David Lee, Professor of Quantitative Finance (Practice) at SMU, Director, Sim Kee Boon Institute for Financial Economics, Academic Director, Global Master of Finance Dual Degree Prof. Yanis Varoufakis, Professor of Economic Theory at the University of Athens and a private consultant for Valve Corporation.
Tembusu has been in touch with mr Varoufakis since November 2014, where he was hired as a consultant because of his role in Valve Corp. where he created Valve's "Digital Economy". Tembusu was the first company that installed BTC ATMs in Singapore and (after it gathered in its roster a lot of Global magnitude advisors like Yianis) it got a step forward initiating a Digital Transaction Platform called "
Trust Framework". This initiative received about 887,000 USD from several investors.
The answer of mr Varoufakis in brief is that he was the one that he "invented" Trust Framework by a paper he sent to the people who started Tembusu, as a gift to them because of their gesture to approach him, after they read some articles of his. He claims he never consulted them further since Dec. 2014. The fact that they state him as a "consultant" is a "title of honor" because of his advice.
