    Even Vice has an article about what’s going on. I was not aware that Lee is the Crown Prince of Korea. Or that he is behind shells.com, along with Mark Karpeles. I had been thinking about setting up an account there, but not so sure, now.

      Yeah and dodgy stuff like PIA and Mt.Gox. I would be much less worried about this if it was someone else.
