time was also Pete from Coindesk, he interviewed all
the poeple claiming
to run 'exchanges' here.
There are a huge numer of such 'exchanges', most of which don't even exist like coinmelon (refered
to by mp as coinmuon bc of
the sign at
the doorbell).
Then
there's Latincoin, which is also

to 'investors'
to get money with no product. Last

trickle pipe, so it was a 10 hour download when it started, half hour ago,
then moved
to 15 hours as i started ranting, and by now it's claiming
