received today communication from #joelewis lawyers Alston & Bird LLP Atlanta / re:Phoenix fund will postpone comment until matter settled.

Quick! Somebody pass me a towel. I'm about to cum.

how can you sue someone...who doesn't even really exist  

Exactly!

Here's another account where FT changed his name. A quick search for M16LTD will show that he expressed himself the same way Mo Azeel did on his Twitter account, but later deleted the posts.

Here's Danny Ashton's Twitter account: https://twitter.com/dannyashton

I'm surprised he's not following a single Bitcoiner.

I guess that swiss based phoenix fund is true, so some kind of project is on going anyway

[pisces1999]

Smells like bullshit to me. I think the Bitcoin Examiner article is wrong and then WSJ just copied it and spruced it up a bit.

I guess "Andrew Laurus" is a bullshit artist who was trying to scam people.

Moreover the PR team behind the Andrew Laurus Twitter account. I contend that the WSJ article was by design and not a mistake.

Hi Sockpuppet,

no, this link is new. If you want to get our attention, get at least any of those thousands of "Phoenix Technologies" to post it on their site and not some sbwire …
I tried to find the logo and found out that tineye.com is particularly bad at finding text-logos.

Finally, a ASIC-based company I can believe in. As in, I believe they've acquired part of that logo elsewhere.

Ergo, anybody ordering from them deserves what they get--NOTHING!

[MrHempstock]

I've already pre-ordered several X5s. 

[worldinacoin]

How do they manage to get such a huge and prestigious online paper to publish in the first place?

Hi Reactionary.

I'm acutely aware that the "press release" from Phoenix Technologies is new. Perhaps I should have been more clear in my question.

How about this: Given the line of reasoning that there was an effort to plant the WSJ article by some sort of firm potentially involving "Andrew Laurus," could the objective have been to create an atmosphere where there's news hype for businesses with the key words of "mining" and "Phoenix?"

Or given that it was directed at the post immediately preceding mine(yes, I've read all ten pages several times), maybe I should have gone with "Yo, Phinneaus, where does this goofy company fit into your findings?"

Or if you prefer, "Sockpuppet." At least I have a title now.

Hey, sorry, you most likely didn't deserve my negative reply. Newbies being the first to find "interesting" links just is too common here. It screams sock puppet but I guess in your case I was wrong.
