Whatever challenges john-conner faces I hope he gets the help he needs and/or otherwise manages to reach some state of happiness and peace in his life.
But he ripped people off. Why shouldn't they be a little bit pissed off?
He was ostensibly using the money from our altcoin ecosystem to ply his drug habit.
I care. I have observed drugs ravage my family.
It bothers me that we are legalizing pot in the USA. And that the culture in the West condones smoking pot even amongst teenagers, as if it is no big deal.
I also wish he will find his happiness, but not at the expense of lying and misleading others to feed his problems.
I hope he can use his talents in a constructive way. He is at critical juncture nearly 40. My 40s were wasted on turmoil. I very much doubt he will receive the wake up call, but I hope he does of course.
I am not judging because what ever he wants to do is his own business. But if he rips off the public, it is our and the SEC's business. And I can also relate how I wasted my 40s and hope he doesn't.
It is much harder to code in the 50s (well I don't know what it would be like if I wasn't chronically ill, but still seems it gets much more difficult). If he only realized how little time he has remaining on the peak production of his career.
What I am saying from experience is that once you slide a little ways into forsaking ethics, the abyss awaits you because it is a slippery slope. I almost received the wake up call too late. Almost. And I am really struggling to climb out of a hole. He may not realize how his life can spin out-of-control if he doesn't arrest that pattern.
(as you know, I have been on the receiving end of that sadistic ridicule. But didn't I ask for it. Albeit my illness caused me to be in the situation where I would post more than code)
