Alright, I knew it was just a matter of time before y'all decided to go after me. So here's my story.
I started at Cryptsy as a contractor in September 2015, brought in to make website improvements. I stopped working there in November 2015. During that time I had no access to either wallets or the production environment. As far as Bitebi9, I was one of several cryptsy employees that was asked to work on the site. My job was to implement translations.
It doesn't surprise me to have my name raised here, although some of the speculation does. It's how btctalk seems to roll - people don't ask questions, instead, they make accusations. When I was with ultracoin I made a website called Ultra-Arb, that showed the difference between coin prices at exchanges, so people could arbitrage. I didn't charge for the site, didn't charge for coins to be listed, but it was still accused of being a scam. I used to do giveaways on twitter and in various trollboxes, and was accused of shilling coins.
As far as Cryptsy goes, I was as shocked as everyone else was to find out about the hack. I also believed the "never been hacked" story. I still have coins stuck there. I made $10/hour, part-time, in the 2 1/2 months I was on the payroll. I was as far from the inner circle at cryptsy as anyone could be, and the other developers actively hated me. That was the main reason I left. But I saw the writing on the wall - no revenues were coming in, no trading was going on, and withdrawals were barely going out.
While I have spoken to Paul Vernon on Skype, I have never met him (have never met any Cryptsy employees) and am not his "paramour". I'm a widowed mom of 2 boys that lives near and works in Washington, DC.
Blaming me for Cryptsy's problems is like blaming the last person hired at Enron for their collapse.
I've been approached by a team of developers that are building a new exchange and want to integrate ToshiDesk (another project I'm involved in) into it. My first word of advice to them was - you probably don't want to do that because people associate me with Cryptsy, even though I had nothing to do with what happened. My second piece of advice was- don't do it unless you can somehow insure customer funds (I think they'll be implementing a recovery fund, and somehow using smart contracts on accounts for that). And my final piece of advice was - be ready to have your life ruined by the people on btctalk, no matter how honest and innocent you are.
So there you go. I won't post here again, but tear me down, drag my name through the mud, say I fuck pigs, all those good things y'all do.

Sorry, never meant to speak for everyone. I'll work on that. I'm not an empty-nester. My 3 kids are 10, 15 & 17 so I can't just leave them for the intensives. That was the point I was trying to make. I didn't mean all moms. I just meant moms with kids that they can't just leave for a month or six weeks to focus on coding at a boot camp. But maybe you know of a viable solution. I really am trying but it's frustrating. I've already done 3 tech startups and the first was started in 1998 and sold for $100M in 2000 so I SWEAR I'm not an idiot, but I was 2nd in command and the business person who knew a little about coding. Now I just want to be able to build the stuff I dream up - especially because most of my ideas are complicated to build.
Again, apologies for perpetuating any stereotypes but for me, "Coding Bootcamp for 43 Year Old Entrepreneur Moms that Can't Remember What They Had for Breakfast" would be ideal.
Anyone???
