The only "crypto villain from a previous era" who deserves a path to redemption is Mark Karpeles @MagicalTux - precisely because he's the only one who's not clamoring for attention asking for one. He's just quietly doing interesting stuff.

Compare his twitter with a weaker soul:

Saw this post here and on twitter. Insane how fast the replies are filling up over there, with mostly BS and annoyance, where here will most likely spark a conversation.

He was way before my time, but def studied all that went down. My only question/thought is do you think your post will bring "unwanted" attention?

Did some things in Sports. Then made some Film/TV. Followed the future early to VR/AR. And now down the 🐇🕳 

Or was the post to bring more attention to him coming back in a quiet matter? Regardless, I think more eyeballs and awareness will be on what he is doing now. Pretty much ignore/mute the guys on the right side of the screenshot, nothing to gain from them.
