Hotel tells sandcastle artist to pound sand over Mark Twain quote deemed 'too political'
A hotel in Coronado, California, told a local sandcastle artist to pound sand after he created a castle that included a statement the hotel deemed "too political," new reporting revealed.
The Hotel del Coronado confirmed to local news station KUSI News that Bill Pavlacka, known as "The Sandcastle Man" in Coronado for his ornate designs, is no longer allowed on the property because he violated the hotel's policies and "impacted guest experiences."
“We can confirm that Hotel del Coronado and The Sandcastle Man have parted ways effective February 5. We wish The Sandcastle Man continued success," the statement read.
Pavlacka, a former construction worker, told KUSI News that he was dismissed after he made a sandcastle and included the Mark Twain quote, “Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.”
The hotel said the message was "too political."
Last year, Pavlacka said that he was criticized by hotel staff for writing "I love democracy" on one castle and "I love freedom of speech" on another.
“They accused me of drinking, they’ve accused me of drinking before when I wasn’t, and they told me I’m not welcomed there anymore, that Mark Twain message was the last straw," Pavlacka said.

Satoshi-Era Mt. Gox’s 1,000 Bitcoin Wallet Suddenly Reactivated
The post Satoshi-Era Mt. Gox’s 1,000 Bitcoin Wallet Suddenly Reactivated appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. X account @SaniExp, which belongs to the founder of the Timechain Index explorer, has published data showing that a dormant BTC wallet was activated after hibernating for six years. However, it was set up 13 years ago, according to the tweet — the time when Satoshi Nakamoto’s shadow was still casting itself around, so to speak. The X post states that the tweet belongs to infamous early Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox, which suffered from a major hack in the early 2010s, and last year it began paying out compensation to clients who lost their crypto in that hack. The deadline was eventually extended to October 2025. Mt. Gox’s wallet with 1,000 BTC reactivated The above-mentioned data source shared a screenshot from the Timechain Index explorer, showing multiple transactions marked as confirmed and moving a total of 1,000 Bitcoins. This amount of crypto is valued at $116,195,100 at the time of the initiated transaction. Last year, Mt. Gox began to move the remains of its gargantuan funds to pay out compensations to its creditors. Earlier this year, it also made several massive transactions to partner exchanges to distribute funds to Mt. Gox investors. All of the compensations were promised to be paid out by Oct. 31, 2025. The aforementioned transaction is likely preparation for another payout. The exchange was hacked for several years due to multiple unnoticed security breaches, and in 2014, when the site went offline, 744,408 Bitcoins were reported stolen.
