WTF, ad campaign spam? There's plenty in the OP.

Good to know @coinbase has the man responsible for the loss of 24,000 BTC (https://bitcoinmagazine.com/2139/bitfloor-hacked-250000-missing/) on their team (coinbase.com/about)
"Roman is a software engineer who has worked at all levels of the software stack from robotics and embedded systems to web frontends and mobile apps. Prior to Coinbase, he founded CourseOff and worked in high frequency trading. When not making, he enjoys ultimate frisbee, snowboarding, and short walks on the beach."
Is Coinbase going to be paying the remainder due to all of us Roman Shytlman/Bitfloor victims? Reminded of how Kraken is handling the Mark Karpeles/MtGox victims.
Even if Roman set himself up so he could escape legal liability for the "hack" (allegedly unencrypted wallet backup; negligent at best, criminal at worst), it's still morally wrong to reward him if he has no intention of ever paying back more than the single-digit percentage of the total stolen BTC.
ETA: Coinbase scrubbed their /about of staff, but archive.org FTW:
