Oh. Her. The one who oversaw one of the biggest corruption scandal in France (until we get confirmation of the Gaddafi affair) and who was a member of the Sarkozy administration, the closest thing to Trump we had their.

Assume she is no smarter than a bad VC who is falling for buzzwords. I don't trust her analysis for a minute.

argumentum ad hominem!

Her analysis is actually pretty unbiased and well balanced. I never expected such a open statement from the head of the IMF.

I would argue that when talking about criminals, known to have committed fraud (which is what corruption is) it is in fact relevant to know this. She has been caught deliberately lying and organizing fraud, anything and everything she says needs to be triple checked and quadruple checked at least.

Of course, there's a LOT of high up finance people who have been convicted of fraud and/or corruption directly or indirectly.

Her analysis is pretty standard. If you really want to remove ad hominem then just ignore she was IMF head and assume this is a comment on a BTC enthusiasts forum. This is the exact value I attribute to that comment.
