The rumor began as a comment on an article on zerohedge.com (linked in the post, I'll link again here). The commenter seemed to be pointing out the convenient timing of
- Charlie Lee's selloff
- Facebook's messaging executive joining the CoinBase board of directors (coinbase sells litecoin)
- Lee's mention of 'conflicts of interest'
RE: LITECOIN PARTNERSHIP WITH FACEBOOK? For now, it's one hell of a rumor.
