Their creditability is completely shot IMHO. Shrem et al should have been shown the door the second charges were filed.

Shrem is out the door. But if you're saying the foundation should have fired him the moment he got arrested, absolutely no. He's still innocent before proven guilty, and knee jerk reactions like that are counterproductive more often than not.

I'm not saying there should be knee jerk reactions but they should make sure their members / managers / advisor are squeaky clean. It's bad for the community when these people turn out greasy.

Easier said than done. I had dismissed cshrem as a playboy half a year ago when he completely failed at getting Bitcoin Wireless off the ground and let BitInstant just die, but I had absolutely no idea he was doing anything illegal.
