You do understand that when these people are shown to be guilty of harassment, defamation, libel and possibly even extortion - the specific liabilities vary depending on whether the author was actually a staff member.
The damages in this case I estimate to be above $200,000 USD.
This is Ian's motive for making up stories regarding his employment status. He's also attempting to cover up the fact that he is not really a reporter, but rather an ponzi investor who poses as a reporter.
For anyone who is wondering, I at one time owned a total of 300 NXT currently worth about 0.0186654481 BTC, but I think it was worth about double that when I bought it.
I sold it a few weeks ago when I sold almost all my crypto to pay rent.
I have never invested anything more than $50 (and that is putting the number REALLY high to be safe) into any one crypto, (other than BTC) saving for once I bought a bunch of Sterlingcoin and then immediately used it to test out one of their merchants for an article. Even BTC I haven't bought much of, getting almost all of it from working for it.
So, no, I'm not an investor in NXT, unless you count 300 NXT as an investment.
As for me being a "real" reporter. I don't know, I guess that distinction is up to Blue Meanie to decide. It's the only thing I have ever wanted to be, and I certainly don't want to be a person who makes money by investing in projects he has no control over.
I prefer to make my money through my work, not through predictions or investments. I day traded alts for a day or two, I made like six bucks, because I wasn't willing to risk what meager savings I had. Online publishing isn't he most lucrative of work. CoinTelegraph pays exceptionally compared to every other outlet I've worked for, but really, I don't have the money to invest in any currency besides Bitcoin, and that is only because I get paid in it and so am invested by default.
This is quite a bit of Libel here, questioning my professional integrity without and proof. luckily for you BM, I'm not the kind of person who gives two fucks about some sad man on the internet has to say about me.
Oh, btw everyone. I have breaking news! The true identity of Blue Meanie has been revealed!
Imma DOX You On Da Internet fool! BLAHH! BlueMeanie!
