This is a hoax. These allegations are 100% false.

Unfortunately, since his termination, the poster has periodically posted versions of this information online. Sometimes, he tries to misrepresent himself as our CEO and sometimes he posts as himself. Here are some examples of his previous writings over the last 18 months:

Nuclear Reactors? Our third CEO is Baal? Illuminati? "The Giganews logo is a red colored shield - subtle homage to the legendary Rothschild family"

In addition, we believe he runs a Twitter account (@AngelicPsalms) that accuses random companies, including Giganews, of being controlled by demons and governments:

@Golden_Frog @VyprVPN & @Giganews servers are run by FBI Special Agent Scott Kibbey. Do you really want FBI to handle your internet privacy?

Angel Yeiazel counters the demon who steals from King's houses, destroys cities & honors, &reveals past&future. Eg:#Credit reports, @Equifax

Hey even, Harley Davidson isn't safe either:

We know Cryptome welcomes documents that expose secret governance, but that's not the case here. These allegations are sadly from someone who needs help.

We posted more links and info on Twitter:

Thanks, Giganews

You attack his character, but don't refute his claims. This seems fishy, or you aren't very good at convincing us otherwise.

The first line says "these allegations are 100% false" though

Oh, case closed. Move on everybody!

He's just pointing out that he did refute the claims, where you (in the comment directly above), claim that he refutes the persons character but did not refute the claims.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/refute To refute apparently can mean both /prove/ and just /say/ something is untrue. The way I know the word is in the sense of "proving", not just saying. I dare to say that is the way most people would use that word. Giganews only /says/ the allegations are untrue, it doesn't /prove/ that. To me it means poster is correct in stating their is no refuting of the claims, and I guess it's the same for most readers.

Is there any solid proof that all of the links you shared were actually done by the employee who contacted Cryptome? It seems the pastebin could have been done by anyone, I don't see anything linking these accounts to the individual cited in the Cryptome page.

Edit: Not saying that the Cryptome article is/isn't real, I'm just curious if there's proof of past bad mouthing and mental instability

Not 100% false.

"The Giganews/Data Foundry admins Philip Molter and Mike Smith disciplined me for removing the child porn groups and didn't trust me to keep working there afterwards. They made subtle references to jeopardizing criminal investigations IN PROGRESS then threatened me with a bad reference for removing the child abuse junk. No big deal, a bad reference from them after doing that is good, but Philip restored the cp content from a backup I didn't have access to."

How exactly does this quote go against the statement that this article is false?

That comment was meant for the Giganews account, and wasn't intended to convince anybody else. It happens that I know the part I quoted is true. And I would not be surprised if Nick did contact the FBI. The rest is nonsense, of course.
