Epstein Reportedly Refused to Manipulate Cryptocurrency Prices to Avoid Public Ethical Concerns
BlockBeats News, February 2nd: In a newly revealed Epstein document, in August 2018, Epstein told Bitcoin developer Jeremy Rubin that he had ethical concerns about manipulating cryptocurrency prices. Epstein had refused related transactions to manipulate cryptocurrency prices and indicated he would rather fund other things but could not openly due to ethical concerns.
Additionally, the newly disclosed document includes an interesting email from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong to investors. In February 2016, Brian Armstrong informed investors via email that Coinbase was working behind the scenes to ensure that the Bitcoin network was not hampered by "early idealists" and expected a hard fork to a 2MB block size to occur in the next month or two. However, this hard fork never occurred, with the last attempt being abandoned in the fall of 2017 due to being seen as primarily driven by corporate interests and lacking community support.
