<p>[QUOTE="Electrum, post: 2029476, member: 72906"]I was surprised to discover recently that Whitman Publishing now owns the MintNewsBlog.com and CoinUpdate.com websites. They were formerly owned by Michael Zielinski. This can be confirmed by using <i>whois</i>, which shows the change in control occurred on June 24, 2014, over 5 months ago. Apparently neither party was proud enough about the transaction to issue a statement about the change in ownership, along the lines of "We are proud to announce that MintNewsBlog and CoinUpdate are now new members of Whitman Publishing's family ..." Instead, there has only been silence, as if nothing had happened.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't begrudge anyone for making money by selling their websites, but I am annoyed that the sale was kept quiet and wasn't announced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
