Since this is the first Google result when you search my name, I feel compelled to respond for the first time since these rumors surfaced.
First, Tao is doing exactly what I said it would do.
Second, not a single allegation set forth in this thread has ever been proved true. I am not "Razortech," nor have I ever been. Nor was Razor a "scam" of any kind, though the coin emission was very aggressive.
I abandoned Razor on the advice of my attorney. It is also for this reason that Blocktech distanced itself from the network, as well.
The network faced several legal issues arising from liability that could not be avoided. Other developers who have launched networks promising such anonymity face the same burden of legal liability. The first time someone commits a crime using one of these networks the developer of the network may become liable to a civil claim for damages as it can be argued the act may have been impossible to commit without the existence of the network. Given the design purpose of such networks is to obscure financial transactions from various forms of scrutiny, it can then be argued the developer intentionally created a network that facilitated the commission of the crime which created the damages holding them personally liable for them.
We are all working for a more balanced, decentralized world however we cannot ignore that we don't live in it just yet. While some developers may not feel they are exposed to such a liability, I wasn't about to take that risk in 2014 when nobody knew how regulatory compliance was going to develop.
It built up tremendous ill will in the community when I abandoned that network, but I'd rather suffer trolls than court judgements.
I hope that clears things up.
Spoken like a true sociopath. Why don't you just disappear and stop scamming naive kids for a living? That's really all we all want.
