After reading that I've come to the conclusion that this guy is just as big of a scumbag as josh.
I wouldn't normally say employees are complicit in the fraud committed by their company (I think many are intentionally kept in the dark) however this guy appears to have known about the fraud/lies all along.
BoN: So to start out, who are you? What is your history with xpy?
ME:... I was also the lead dev for the Paycoin project, and also the primary admin for all prime nodes.. I wrote the initial concept documents, and was a primary contributor to the whitepaper.. I even mined the genesis block myself.
So he's happily taking responsibility for the steaming pile of shit called the xpy whitepaper, and the lead of the xpy (lack of) development.
BoN: What prompted you to depart?
ME: The realization that GAW Miners LLC. had not honored the requirements of the Acquisition Agreement and merger documents that were part of the LeaseRig.net / GAW merger and also ethical reasons.
So besides the multitudes of fraud and BS he was surely aware of during his time working for GAW, his reason for leaving was because he didn't get his paycheck. (and "ethical reasons" which happened to coincide with his missing paycheck)
BoN: Moving on, he now claims you and Joe Mordica are holding 4 million coins hostage, is there any truth to this?
ME: No. Joe isn’t really involved in any of the wind down operations for the company. There is a corporation (BCI) which was contracted to wind down operations for Zencloud and Paybase.
ME:
http://www.bci.io/files/gaw-bci-lr-executed-redacted.pdfBoN: Are you related to BCI?
ME: At any rate. No one held anything hostage. We were just finished working with someone who had been stealing company IP and embezzling funds [Garza]. I am related to BCI, as are many of the developers who used to work for GAW.
BoN: So what is the current situation?
ME: In an unfortunate choice of management decisions, GAW laid off all of their developers, and therefore were unable to access any of the platforms.
Seems to suggest Josh may have not been lying (for once) about the extortion.
Sidenote: I think it's a bit ironic they've named their company "Blockchain Innovation Corporation" when in the ~3-6 months they've been working on paycoin we've seen literally zero innovation.
