Re:

Cease and Desist

Mr . Johnson:

My law firm represents GA W Miners, LLC (“GA W”). On November 22, 2104, Coin Fire published an article entitled “GAW Mi ners lying about partnerships?”, which contains g rossly false and misleading information relating to GA W and exposes Coin Fire potentially to significant civil liability . In sum, GA W has not lied about partnerships. Coin Fire’s defamatory article has irreparably harmed GAW and will continue to cause GA W to incur damages un til it is withdrawn and /or corrected. In the article, the author claims Coin Fire reached out repeatedly to GA W for comments. This is blatantly untrue, as you surely know . No one at GA W was contacted to discuss the story before it was published. If GA W had been contacted and given a chance to set the record straight, the article would be dramatically different: it would be accurate. A r epresentative of GA W is available to discuss with you and the reporter the article’s numerous material inaccuracies. Y ou have until Friday , November 28, 2014, at 5 p.m. EDT to notify us that you will speak with a GA W representative and that conversation must take place no later than Monday , December 1, 2014. The reason this conversation is so important to GA W is so that GAW can provide the necessary c redible facts to rebut the story’s numerous false and misleading claims.
