BTW, MajorMiner, if you aren't in fact intimately tied in with Wayan, I apologize for acting as though you were, or that you were him. Only you know the answer to that, but I'll man up to my mistakes if I've made them.
I am not a lawyer, never had the inclination for that profession, but the way I look at it, even if nefarious plans were laid unless they materialized and they clearly have not, then essentially its all a work of fiction - just talk. Throughout the course of my career I've been in many meetings in large companies where lofty ideas with dubious legal and ethical ramifications were freely discussed, but never materialized, however out of many of them manifested creative directions within the letter of the law.
I clearly separate what is talk and what is action. As far as personal accountability, I believe that our actions good and bad have consequences. I am not Max, but like many many others I am actively involved with making Epic Cash a better project. I am not here to judge any of the founders of the project, any personal disagreements between the founders should be handled by them and not be dragged out before the public - thats just my opinion. Two wrongs do not make a right, doxing and going after person, his family and friends and anyone else you feel hurt by, is flat out illegal and makes you look like an obsessive psycho - stuff like this does not rally people to your cause and will not make your life better. Also, if there are financial grievances between the investors, by trying to destroy the project out of personal vendetta severely limits the chances of an amicable financial resolution.
Almost a decade ago I spent a lot of time and energy helping the Bitcoin project, and later I did the same with several other early cryptos. I never engaged in pump and dump, I never evangelize what I do not believe in. I always had skin in the game, took the risks some of which paid off. In crypto and in my professional career I never shilled, I only got involved with projects that offered incremental value and tried to avoid cannibalizing the market.
I believe Epic Cash project has unique advantages. I saw you cross-posted one of my opinions about another Mimblewimble project being a dead end - notice I did not go on their forums to troll them, I respect what they are trying to do but through the lens of my experience I see some shortcomings resulting in my opinion. I come here to state my honest opinion, and today in the Mimblewimble space Epic Cash is a very solid contender, partially because of the three algo cocktail, partially because of limited emissions, and partially because of the next few things in the pipe that will further improve the privacy and usability aspects. I like the team of people that are currently working on the project, I like the community that is evolving around the project. I live the overall energy of the Mimblewimble community and I have a tremendous respect for ALL of its participants.
As far as apologies go, as much as I want to believe in its sincerity, this thread is a half-truths and profanity ladened accusatory mess and a deliberate distraction leveraged against all the honest people who are participating in the Epic Cash project... The Epic Cash community is busy with the project, not with distractions which is why so few of us bother to come here.
