[Dailydave] Have all the best security conferences moved overseas?

[Dominique Brezinski]

Your facts and assumptions are both incorrect. A similar presentation
was not presented in Amsterdam, and the presenters did not specify the
reason they are backing out of their presentation in Las Vegas. If it
is because they feared legal ramifications in the US, which I think is
your inference, that reason was not conveyed to us.

If you read this list, you would know that the Kumar's presentation in
Amsterdam, VBootKit, was the subject of much controversy and was not
directly related to TPM at all.
