This is all rather ironic, and here is why:
On the 10th of November, Tony was in Moscow, on the bitcoin & blockchain conference (to straighten things out - Tony speaks Russian rather well). On that conference we presented Golos on 3 occasions and hence touched the subject of Steem and Bitshares. Moreover, after the conference, there was an afterparty (organised by myself), at which he was present. The afterparty was all about Golos. Tony sat right next table to the stage, when i was taking questions from the audience.
Strange, but he didnt ask even 1 single question...
Which drives me to think, that, it all sounds like a bunch of fud. Sorry Tony, but it just does...
Tone speaks Russian rather well because he was born in Russia. Not a secret, he's the one who told me. :-)
I wasnt aware of that )
