This seems incompatible with the spirit of the quote in the article.
- hiq 6y agoThat's significant in this space, because it implies that he does not benefit directly[0] from speculation on MOB, and so has less incentives to get involved in a pump and dump. What I would still like to see for more transparency: - legal commitment from the Signal Foundation that no employee owns any MOB - disclosure of money transfers between MobileCoin and any Signal Foundation employee Maybe some of this information could already be extracted given the statuses of the entities involved? [0]: he benefits indirectly because if MobileCoin stays up, he'll probably stay as a technical advisor
- mfsch 6y agoThe article says “Marlinspike has served as a paid technical adviser for the project since its inception” in the same paragraph, so I would say the article is quite clear on the financial relationship.
