GoldBug Messenger Fraud? [was: FBI encrypted app, global arrests]

How GoldBug claimed EFF support, censored users, did
many shady practices, never explained themselves, etc...
is all in the archive. Whether people ever find, read, verify,
spread, believe, or beware that history, try to resolve it,
or audit the app themselves or not... is up to the user.

Whether GoldBug, and the whole rest of their fishy suite,
people, and actions, ever explains itself... is up to GoldBug.

"GB does not provide checksums for the binary downloads
as the source is given for those who want to build on their own.
GB has a build date in the gui so the sums might differ."

See how they still dodge around the basics that every real
crypto project gets right. Referring to "checksums" as if that
wasn't deprecated decades ago, claim opensource given is
an excuse to not sign their binaries or sources, it's just the
"build date" (which absolutely no project ever needs, and law
of reproducible builds forbids) numbing people to fall for that
excuse.

And how no legitimate crypto comms dev people or projects
on the internet seem to be using, reviewing, or citing them.

Yet there's plenty of GoldBug's shill review sockpuppets,
fake wiki pages, oddball software listing sites they
spammed all over the internet.

Etc, etc, etc...

Fraud? Or best software ever? You decide.

Maybe it is amazing tool, yet whatever it is, how they
are acting is more than suspicious enough to hopefully
impart a big amount of caution on potential users.
