First of all, learn how news works these days. Headlines look the same across so many outlets because they all get their news from the same meta-providers like AP and Reuters.
Also, if people that scan headlines and jump to conclusions are the people you want to join the Bitcoin community, I wonder why (unless you want to be the next Pirateat40).
Lastly, for people that do actually understand what this is all about, it INCREASES confidence in Bitcoin that there is some possibility of retribution for bad apples in the scene.
I read it as good news, even if the terms "Bitcoin" and "Ponzi Scheme" both appear in the headlines.
Well our goal is that even idiots will try it to build up the economy with their real cash since they can't payday loan easily XD
