Or as was quoted above he had no access to finances, how can you possibly judge his competence as an auditor based on an [b]advisory tech role[/b] working away from the office and having no contact really other than the occasional Skype call. Again this is in the blog.

For having accepted to work for Neo & Bee without bothering to check whether the company was a sham or scam.  Apparently bitcoiners assume automatically that anyone who praises Bitcoin must be honest and competent.   

Andreas may not deserve blame for having joined Neo & Bee, but I think I am justified in not trusting his judgement about bitcoin things.  And his "audit" of Coinbase only confirms that.

An auditor must assume that the entity being audited is dishonest and will try to fool him.  None of the "audits" of bitcoin solvency that I have seen described were done in that spirit; it always seemed to be a bitcoiner trying to help a fellow bitcoiner, for the good of bitcoin.

People who value their reputation should not accept to "audit" something that they cannot really audit.
