to show up
to whatever derpy conference
the vessenes merry band of scammers is organising and ask him how much did karpeles pay him
to promote his scam ?
mircea_popescu: but anyway,
the guy is obviously
trying
to have someone write him a scamsite. found a decent pretext, but it's about as convincing as what kids
trying
to get you
to do
their homework come up with.
mircea_popescu: Namworld:
That's not how you quit. Guy will just get in
trouble for it, playing in his wife's back like

than any newspaper buffett owns, you could have done
that article.
