the question isn't why you hit the reset button on the accounts. it's why you're using a fake identity to do so and using that as the excuse. it ruins the credibility of everything that you're reporting. you're not "mike johnson".
You are doing exactly the same as what you accuse this Coinfire guy of doing.
You are hiding behind a fake identity. I do not think your real name is Josef Stylin.
You are throwing around unproven accusations of Mike not being his real name although you, anonymous internet guy, want to present that as a fact.
Look. If somebody wants to character assasinate somebody they have a big arsenal of accusations to choose from.
One is that he is only looking to get fame for himself. Or the alternative that he is hiding and does not want fame to himself which is suspicious.
Another accusation is that he has got his own beef in the fight and another is that he does not have his own beef in fight so why does he bother.
If he is in and something bothers him he should just get out and shut up, or if he is out he should put his money where his mouth is and shut up.
Whatever a million times.
There is an endless array of accusations and for every accusation there is a polar opposite case that is also useful as an accusation. You just have to choose one to attack somebody with and it is not difficult as there are so many to choose from.
Although I think the location of Josh is currently unknown it does seem like he is in hiding somewhere and whether it is in abroad or hiding in his cousins basement that is secondary to me. The important thing is that he has deserted his command post and that is worthy of reporting although the details are still unclear. About the SEC investigation it does also seem established that there is an SEC investigation and although there are some details that are still unclear the existence of SEC investigation is also worthy of publishing in whatever form. Perfect is an enemy of good and it is very easy to attack the publishing of important developments because the story is not perfect. That kind of accepting only perfect is not good.
If the reporting would be done on Josh style it would only be: "Imagine what could be the worst that could happen to GAW?, Ask me a bunch of questions about what it might be and in the name of transparency and complacency I maybe answer one of those questions after 30 days."
This is the level of reporting that GAW people are very happy with. I think the Coinfire is up a notch from GAW style and attacking it from missing one small detail because nobody knows it at the moment is a bit silly. Nobody knows who writes GAWCEO account posts at hashtalk at the moment and that is a bit more important thing to worry about than the unproven case of uncertainty of who writes Coinfire news.
