So Leocoin foundation, why are you deleting these?
They are not FUD items.
They are extremely pertinent to the very existence of LEOCOIN.
Your investors have the right to know that one of your founding members has been fired and that the company is under police investigation.
For you to try and suppress this information reflects very badly on your character and does not do you any favours.
As your other founder said, he puts members of Leocoin above anything else, so your members deserve to know that you are promoting a scheme
that is accused of MONEY LAUNDERING!!!

Just to get this clarification in on the first page of this unmoderated discussion for noobs to the coin:
LEOcoin is a cryptocurrency promoted by scammers who run an MLM/Pyramid scheme, predominantly in poor countries with a lack of financial oversight or regulation.
These scumbags arrange for meet-and-greet photo-opportunities with policiticans, who do such things in return for afee donation.
People who are unaware of this believe that these meetings indicate that the coin is being taken seriously by people in government. Let me make this perfectly clear:
No politician would risk destroying their career by actively promoting LEOcoin as even the briefest of internet searches quickly reveals that the people behind LEO are running an MLM/Pyramid scheme. They may meet with them, they may accept theirmoney donation, but they are not so dumb as to actually support LEOcoin.
LEOcoin was simply a clone-coin of Mintcoin originally, rebranded and marketed as though it had been specially coded by their 'experts' with innovative tech, unique to LEOcoin. This was and still is an outright lie.

What is LEOcoin?
Technical information about LEOcoin
LEOcoin (LEO) is a peer-to-peer digital currency and open source software project. LEOcoin creation and transfer is based on an open source protocol and is not managed by any central authority.
LEOcoin is an altered version of Litecoin and for two years used scrypt-Jane as a proof-of-work (POW) and proof-of-stake (POS) algorithm with a modified nFactor. In July 2016 LEOcoin switched to a sole proof-of-stake procedure. Under PoS users are asked to prove ownership of a certain stack of LEOcoins. This makes the LEOcoin network more secure and over time creates new LEOcoin without consuming large amounts of energy.
The LEOcoin source code on GitHub LEOcoin mentions following properties:
• LEOcoin algorithm: scrypt-Jane
• Maximum number of LEOcoins: 1 Billion LEO
• Premined LEO Company Stock: 50 Million LEO (5%)
• Block Time: variable
• Minimum Stack age: 24 hours
• Maximum Stack age: 5 years
• Difficulty: Retarget every block
• No block Halving Rate
• Block Award: stake interest
• First block: 15th of June 2014 (15:23:02)
• Switch to PoS: block 1071500 on 1st of July 2016 (13:43:03)
PoS operates based on variation difficulty - coins are generated based on age and number of coins in respective wallet so previous PoW (Proof-of-Work) block time of 1 minute and block size of 20 LEOcoins is no longer applicable.
User information regarding LEOcoin
• open for all to stake
• can be exchanged for cc & fiat currency (BTC, USD, GBP, EUR)
• pseudonymous
• secure
• user friendly
• part of a growing community of entrepreneurs
PoS - Approximate annual percentage reward
• Wallets with a balance under 1,000 LEOcoin get minimal stake (if any)
• Wallets with a balance from 1,000-4,999 LEOcoin get 10% annual stake interest
• Wallets with a balance from 5,000-49,999 LEOcoin get 15% annual stake interest
• Wallets with a balance over 50,000 LEOcoin get 20% annual stake interest
