I haven't met Paul, but I have spoken to him on the phone. He is a very pleasant man and I enjoyed speaking with him. I don't agree with what he has done / is doing. I don't believe he knew when he started his business model that it could bring harm to anyone. I think he probably feels trapped between ethical and business considerations.

So, in answer to your question. I know him slightly and like him. What he is doing with his business is very dangerous.
