So apparently last week in a some chatrooms, people joked around about Kanye having his own money, but some of them weren’t joking because using a Bitcoin model, they started circulating a virtual currency called Coinye West. Yeezy was NOT happy, and immediately put his lawyers on the case!
*See Coinye In Galley*
Legal documents have already been drawn up to stop the digital money, and his lawyers had this to say:
“Given Mr. West’s wide-ranging entrepreneurial accomplishments, consumers are likely to mistakenly believe that Mr. West is the source of your services,”
But the techies aren’t really trying to hear that either, they broke it down to just Coinye, moved up the release date, and transferred their domain name to India 0_o
They had this to say:
“We want to release this to the public before the man can try to crush it,” one of the coders said in a Skype text interview Monday night. “They’ll still come after us, but that’s OK.”
This seems to be a bit of a battle, normally Kanye would win hands down, but techies can be pretty quick, and if it goes viral before Ye can stop it, it could be too late!
