Citing from the original, un-edited article:
"One of the largest OTC traders in the market right now is Heinrich Vollmer, a London-based trader who has been offering sellers of quantities of 10 BTC or more an 8% premium to the BitcoinAverage price throughout the past month. "One wonders if this was written on purpose or gross neglect. Coindesk is certainly at fault if people lost money to this scam.
Fucking unbelievable, they are in London too, have they not met the guy in person? Maybe the author of the article is in on the scam?
