Olivier created massive bad PR for Bitcoin and the foundation he just ran for with his post last week written from the angle of "whistleblower".

He also called for transparency. Now that the minutes are released we can see a true picture of what occurred. He and Jim had one plan and disagreed with the rest of the board.

Because he lost his vote 4 to 2 he cried foul and released the board discussions ahead of time under the claim that he was doing so because transparency was needed.

Any reasonably person knows there are 100 ways to release this info that are less damaging to the foundation than posting something called "the truth about the foundation" in a sensational tone.

Would he have still made the PR disaster if his plan would have been voted for? Almost definitely not. He did this because he was mad he got outvoted.

Yesterday he went on the Foundation forums and called for a special member meeting. This is something the bylaws reserve for the Chairman of the Board. Does he think he is chairman?

Likely 5 people or so who think his scorch the earth tactics are fun will attend his special meeting and then he will complain again about being outvoted.

He has most likely alienated every single board member, even Jim who voted with him on some items and won't have any influence on actual board decisions whatsoever.

When the board voted to release these minutes he did not vote for it. He now claims on the foundation forums that this is only because he was mad that he didn't get his way in voting to release ALL minutes from all meetings in history. (In other words, violating the privacy of people who thought they were in private meetings long before he was elected by publishing their conversations).

As with much of what he does he had a dictatorial manner of refusing to participate if he didn't get things the way he wanted.

He then on the forums today accused the board of "pushing things through" as they always do. In other words "a fully elected board voted against what I wanted".
