Huffington Post journalist David Seaman, who we interviewed last month, has a bone to pick with the Digital Currency Group’s Barry Silbert. The article in question written by Seaman claims Silbert is behind the Ethereum Classic chain pump, and the whole ETC project is a blatant scam in his opinion.
David Seaman Slams Barry Silbert’s ETC ‘Pump’
The very opinionated editorial published on the Huffington Post on August 6, which was titled “In Bitcoin’s Barry Silbert, A Prosecution Waiting To Happen.” Seaman claims that Silbert has pumped the ETC project, and it wouldn’t have made it this far if it wasn’t for a “wealthy guy in New York” bolstering its activity. The writer says that if Ethereum were a publicly traded company or commodity what Silbert has done would be deemed illegal.
