It's all bullshit orchestrated by Homero
On Sunday Homero says:
"If you had access to my emails, and could see how much I fought for a different outcome, and for days, you would not be questioning my empathy....."https://archive.today/iF13q#80%So what happens? We get to see the emails
What is critical and missing are the dates of the emails and snipped posted by these news outlets. As Confire points out in the latest there is a critical exchange:
1. Sunday Homero posts that there is no SEC investigation.
2. Coinbrief posts a snippet of an email saying that there is
3. Conbrief posts a snippet claimed to be prior to that where another lawyer is saying don't do that it would accelerate the SEC's attention
What are the dates of these exchanges? Monday and Tuesday, the 2nd and the 3rd? After the claim that there is no SEC investigation on the 1st? Then again looking back at the paybase blog after all of this it seems to be specifying specifics inside an/the investigation not that there is not an investigation. But that is neither here nor there right now.
WHAT ARE THE DATES OF THESE EMAILS? It will be easy to determine just how genuine Homero is being behind closed door. Not that one does not already know
calls to step down started late last week on many forums ramping up after the failure on the 1st Sunday. Everyone knows Homero feeds off and responds to the crowd, for a fact he scours this forum and that other forum, even reprimanding people via IM on the other forum for what he sees being posted. On this forum after someone pointed out it could be a breach of lawyer-client priv. stating screenshots of emails were seen, he quickly revised that announcement of proving he was in talks with his lawyer.
So, when exactly does Hero Homero state to he lawyer's he would step down if he cannot deliver as promised? Sunday night? Monday? Tuesday? after reading what everyone was saying? And not before? Why was that aspect even printed exactly? Note how it corresponds with the quote in the first place above:
"If you had access to my emails, and could see how much I fought for a different outcome, and for days, you would not be questioning my empathy....."No one was asking about that or even cares, all they wanted to know (a) if that or any law firm was advising him and (b) if the law firm was the hindrance.
Same goes for the dates of the SEC advise email from the one lawyer and similar mention from the other lawyer prior.
Homero pulled this PR stunt before. Massive blog about how the community will build things, how it is proof that there is belief in paycoin when engineers, entrepreneurs, developers are spending their time and resources making things for it, because they believe in it. He posts that blog, then what do you know the same day immediately afterwards developed product and is announced by pretend independent developers, effectively validating his prophecy.
What is the date that email leaked claiming to wanting to step down if he cannot deliver. Reads the crowd, fires off an email suggesting same to the lawyer, then leaks it like making it appear is he is a step a head of the crowd and is honorable on his own right. There are actually two waves of calls to step down last week and after the 1st. Depending on the date of the email, it will be quite easy to determine to which crowd he is playing to.
The dates on the emails are January 30th and 31st.
In my eyes, even if he is playing that game, and leaking emails to people he knows will send them on, he seems to have expected more focus on the "stepping down" and "fighting to get the $20 paycoin repayment project going", which he could use. In fact, I am almost certain at this point that he was using it to try to manipulate the group of people he released it to, by seeming like he was fighting the good fight.
However, the interesting part to me, and it seems to Coinfire, was the admission of an SEC investigation. I can't see how that could benefit him in any way.
