maybe you have seen some of these names before or maybe not. adam matlack was garzas childhood friend. there were 3 hyper inflating wallets called prime controllers that garza sold and 1 of them was matlacks
Just curious, do you have a source you could point to for Matlack being Garza's childhood friend? I've seen that insinuated on bitcointalk a few times and I've never seen any evidence that was the case. I'm just trying to be balanced here, and from what I can see Matlack was simply another naive investor duped by Garza for a bunch of money who appears to have made some baffling decisions since then as the de facto community leader. I don't think he was ever friends per se with Garza -- but I'm open to being proven wrong, of course.
Again, I think (and correct me if I'm wrong) that 'Team Paycoin', which later became XPY.io and then eventually Ionomy were (supposedly) a completely separate entity to 'The Paycoin Core Development Corporation'. The lack of action from the Core Dev team was cited as a reason for XPY.io to split off and form Ionomy, in fact. However, I notice that 'Grav' posted in that thread with a some vague insight into what the 'Core Dev' team were doing at the time, and I believe he's most likely the Singapore contact and owner of Graval PTE -- so that shows that there was at least at one point some co operation and communication between the groups.
Regardless, Ion apologists will point to the fact that 'Team Paycoin' i.e. Matlack and co technically didn't gift cryptsy the Prime. I'm by no means their biggest fan, but I think its important to stick to the heaps of issues they genuinely don't have easy retorts to, as you've already stated, like the frankly ridiculous ongoing problem with the company registration, or the fact that they're essentially shitting out free coins and offloading them through 'promotions' to their enraptured tens of fans for BTC they can easily cash out. I don't necessarily think they're corrupt, but it's abundantly obvious that neither the team running the project nor the main user base have learnt any lessons from XPY either under Garza or, more latterly, under the vague development offered by XPY.io.
