And there is at least one interesting story with almost every name on that list!

Like Stefan Thomas, who earned the bounty of 7,002 BTC for creating a marketing video that appears on that website (WeUseCoins.com, I had it wrong above). Then can't remember the password for the encrypted hard drive.

Or, FriedCat's ASICMiner, ... probably the most profitable ICO ever, listed on a "crypto" securities exchange (GLBSE) that was later shut down by the founder (Nefario, also in the list above), immediately after being questioned by a regulator at a bitcoin conference. Not sure about the current status of Friedcat (Jiang Xinyu), either:

Speaking of GLBSE, ... prior to founding GLBSE, Nefario was known for being refused entry into the U.S. for a pre-planned two-month stay in Seattle at the first Bitcoin co-working / incubator. Nefario had little cash ($600) on him and no credit cards, ... he only had a wallet containing thousands of bitcoin. No dice, ... immigration didn't believe (or understadn) his story and sent him back home.

And that incubator in Seattle, ... Peter Vessenes' Coinlab? There's a few stories, ... relating to the Mt. Gox bankruptcy. Too much on that to even begin explaining it here.

Let's see what else ... oh, Vessenes and the Bitcoin Foundation, .. which was later directed by Bruce Fenton, who is currently running to be a U.S. Senator in New Hampshire.

And ... how could I forget to mention ... wait, ... OK, this is long enough. Someone could write a book about all these stories though!
