RE: Everything John Oliver forgot to tell you about EOS!
All American mainstream news is presented with such bias, its just that those of us that have followed EOS and Dan's other projects know this is not the same as BitConnect. Oliver's job wasn't to dig deeper, it was to create humor regardless of accuracy.
Although Brock Pierce is not helping himself or EOS given his prior accusations, with his sleeveless shirts, cowboy hats and showing his less than conventional wedding into what should be a professional presentation. We get it...you are from LA and you think you're cool / hip etc...but if you've been accused of crimes against kids, wear a f-ing shirt with sleeves and take the hat off when you are representing a company that is going to change the world...if EOS blows up and these guys become even more famous, all this is going to get used against him/them. They need a better PR firm.
I predicted to my wife awhile back ago that at some point, he will have to leave the project because his value will be outgrown by his liability...go ahead, keep painting a target on your back.
(I've been long EOS since August)
Brock is gone according to EOS official response to the Oliver piece:

Personally, I am relieved Brock is gone, his past is morally dubious and just like Facebook got rid of Sean Parker for his morally dubious behaviour, Brock had to go from BlockOne. He is not a good look for EOS. Dan Lahimer has an impeccable reputation and he doesn't need it tainted by someone with pedophilia allegations being closely associated with him and his dream project.
I had not yet seen this. Thanks for the heads up...it is/was only a matter of time. If the accusations weren’t true it’s a shame for him. But in this day and age, it’s guilty until proven innocent.
