"...it is all just as it appears."

It doesn't look good. Those 'kids' didn't misunderstand Ramos taking money from Valueplan for sand he dug out of his living room. I didn't misunderstand LB saying he hadn't been paid anything other than for Hivefest when ~$70k was just paid into his personal account. You say you have accounting records. I note that isn't the same thing as receipts. Do you actually have receipts?

The way you've responded is to handwave away these allegations without actually addressing the specific accusations and making the bogus claim providing unredacted receipts is some kind of security risk to the retailers.

My local grocer must be trembling in terror.

As far as I can tell there's no contribution to Hive. No influx of users excited about the rally car, the fitness enthusiasts are pissed off about fraud, not excited about Hive. Hackathon entrants only post until they get paid, then they're done. The DHF is being mined and there's no accounting for the $M's vanishing.

That's on you and @lordbutterfly.
