Before trusting this individual and doing business with him, you should be aware that he is a supporter of the NSA and other "secret" agencies:
Every time some kid tries to take potshots at NSA, I wonder if they consider how much effort and competence it has taken for a single agency to run such a wide spread, global surveillance/information gathering program without being fully detected and exposed for what is estimated to be at least 10 years.
If they control Gox (makes sense, start it off of US territory, under American 'private ownership', etc), then my hats off to them.
The most effective form of intelligence operation is one that is competent, all-encompassing, and most of all, secret. I suppose it doesn't occur to people that the reason public never hears about successes of intelligence operations is because when they are successful, they maintain their secrecy.
Many such organizations take perverse pride in knowing that their successes never see the light of day, precisely because they are successful and therefore kept a secret.
Fuck they don't even list the names of intelligence star recipients on the wall in Langley.
Before being afraid of NSA or bitching about CIA, I suggest people understand the nature of what it takes to maintain and advance security of a nation.
