For people that have been watching the Bitcoin Foundation for a while the possibly shady nature of some of it's members isn't news. There have been complaints about it since its formation when some of it's members supported a company coinvalidation that wants the government to essentially require the registration of all BTC addresses so potentially illegal acquired coins can be blacklisted. I think what we will see in the Bitcoin Foundation is the same thing we see happening in Bitcoin as it grows; a shake out of the less ethical players. So far Shrem is out if things don't go well at MtGox their CEO is next and hopefully this Vessenes guy as well if it turns out he really is up to this nonsense.
