No, different one.

She is a crappy writer and nothing brings traffic like controversy. Bashing Bitcoin is a way of remaining relevant.
Unfortunately, the news industry is full of lazy writers like her.
I got a more pedestrian idea...

I don't mind criticism and fresh perspective, but PR campaigns - even pathetic and poorly executed - raise an eyebrow. You may have recently noticed a series of regurgitated, ill-researched, biased articles of this kind:
"Bitcoin: Seven reasons to be wary"
"7 Reasons to Beware Bitcoin"
"5 reasons grids should avoid Bitcoin"
Articles have been discussed in respective threads on the "Press" board, so please let's not waste time here dissecting them.
A quick look at what the writer says about herself reveals that Maria Korolov (aka Maria Trombly until recently) is a writer-for-hire.

An interesting question is - who pays her to spread FUD and why? A one eyed-crook with a wooden leg? A traditional asset securitization firm?
