That was a quick result but people this is the danger when you humour or respond to Trolls on here. We know who we are talking about, the more you talk to them the bigger their interest in this company and the more likely they are to follow our interests outside of this forum.
That single 'scammer alert' post on Bloomberg could have cost ACtM 500k in orders possible a lot more. That's because that sort or article opens the door to a whole new set of very wealthy investors who have so far not delved into the BTC market. When they see 4 companies selling mining machines and just one of them is slated in the comments as scammers with a host of invented 'red flags' mentioned the investors won't even visit the VMC website - they will go straight to the competition.
I wouldn't worry too much about the comments - all crypto currency articles generate negative scam/ponzi scheme comments and only time will change that. There just aren't a lot of knowledgeable people and I feel like I read at least 2-3 comments a day on every bitcoin related article exactly like this. We just have to rely upon the moderation systems (and us noticing and flagging comments).

The modern day pyramid scheme!!! Just like its predecessors, the first in will get rich and the last screwed. There is another dipshitttt born every second, so you might as well."

only a fool would buy into this ponzi scheme---think people---i buy a bit coin for $20 a couple years ago , now its $135 and i want to cashout--- wheres the extra $115 coming from??--- the most recent fools who buy into this charade--- it should be outlawed and the people involved thrown into the gulag!!!"
Sigh. Morons
I've had the ponzi argument via public forum on multiple occasions. It comes down to people not knowing what a ponzi scheme is. Early adopters profiting more than late comers =/= ponzi scheme.
