Are all your execs now spreading misinformation in random HN threads? Was your CEO not enough?
Making it sound like Mark Karpeles had no real association with PIA is disingenuous.
> However, Mark never had an operational role in PIA and subsequently never had access to any part of the PIA infrastructure nor any role in the planning or execution of the day-to-day operations of PIA.
You say this yet PIA says diferent in your official statement
> Specifically, as many have wondered, he is working as the global CTO across LTM, reviewing technical architecture from an efficiency and security perspective and providing advice and guidance.

Sure, maybe it's the parent company but based on how they were structured it seems likely that the CTO of LTM had a lot of influence. Moreover, he was hired as a CTO somewhere by the same people making the big decision at PIA..
Also we can look through your CEO's comments from 2 weeks about Mark. E.g.
>You don’t know a person until you see them in the toughest of situations.
Mark is a good man and a great developer who fought on the front lines and I’ve known for a long time.

Seems like he trusts him.
