Is there, like a bullet list, what's involved in actual registration at FinCEN, and what exactly are you expected to do?

Made me kinda sad :( Title: Re: FinCEN registration for US-based businesses Post by: BitcoinINV on March 28, 2013, 02:52:34 PM Bitinstant is the ONLY US complaint one that I know of.

Go to http://www.fincen.gov/financial_institutions/msb/msbstateselector.html and search for "bit" You'll see a few bitcoin companies on there.

"In particular, I’m a little disheartened that FinCEN appears to be creating an entirely new regulatory scheme under the guise of “guidance.” Of course, FinCEN cannot rely on this guidance in any enforcement action, as they must readily acknowledge. Simply put, under the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), FinCEN can’t promulgate new rules without going through a notice and comment proceeding whereby the public may have their voices heard. If FinCEN would like to expand its statutory authority over “money transmitters” to include brand new categories such as “administrators” and “exchangers” of digital currency it must do so through proper rulemaking proceedings and not by fiat. I welcome that conversation." https://bitcoinfoundation.org/blog/?p=152 |
