oh no, they need a good legal counter affidavit

That is pretty bizarre ruling and hopefully they have the resources to fight it.

That is what I get for relying on a "news" site to summarize the issue rather than reading the actual complaint.  http://www.ssb.state.tx.us/Enforcement/files/1731.pdf

Bitcoin is barely a footnote and the primary thrust of the complaint is securities fraud which would still exist regardless of the payment method.

That's not really about Bitcoin. It's about someone selling unregistered securities for a vaporware oil company. (No actual wells, or as they say in Texas, "all hat and no cattle").

Can't have bitcoin invading the territory of the petro back fiat currency. It isn't as easy for the various governments to get their cut and track us down to squeeze taxes from us.

Some why, somehow, mainstream media and the SEC are reading my posts, then putting the remaining pieces together. I wonder if this is what Autumn Radtke knew causing her to commit suicide(?).

I sure do hope that Bitcoin-Central is solvent enough to pay me back the 1,132 BTC they/Paymium have been kind enough to hold for me for over a year now due to the InstaWallet "hack".

Who knows what the SEC may uncover as they further explore the Brock-chain while sitting around their hot tub.

Here's the link to the investor alert: http://investor.gov/news-alerts/investor-alerts/investor-alert-bitcoin-other-virtual-currency-related-investments#.U3JkRvldV36

Once again the government  shows  fear that which they cannot control. First The U.S. government flexed its muscles by warning that it has the right to regulate Bitcoin transactions,now they attack companies/investors that use bitcoins.I hate the government!

Just another of the many ways in which government will continue to attack Bitcoin.

Yeah, and them bastards are attacking Imogo (http://web.archive.org/web/20071114083229/http://www.imogo.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=15&Itemid=2) --> BitBlock (https://www.linkedin.com/company/bitblock-systems) --> Brosgall Legal (http://vancouvernotary.biz/article/bitcoin-exchange-notarizations-and-apostilles-vancouver-bc) --> Bitcoiniacs (right next door)

Given the date on http://www.ssb.state.tx.us/Enforcement/files/1731.pdf, it begs the question: Is Satoshi Nakamoto Candian? Sure would explain the 'or'/'our' spellings away.

So actually... A warning about a phoney company that is trying to scam people out of their bitcoin. Basically a new twist on a very old oil well scam. But of course here where the government is always bad, it's an attack on bitcoin.

Cryptmint uses the same address as [un]Balanced Energy in Southlake, TX.

reading the article, and reading the title I'm so confused right now, why is it bitcoin fault while the company the one frauding here ?

finally somepeople are seeing through the FUD


now everyone else should see that this is not an attack on bitcoin. its an attack on a 'company' that has no oil plots/land/permits. the small bit that is hyping it up is the scammers are using bitcoins for their funding.

its not about bitcoin. i would ask everyone to replace the words bitcoin with the word dollar. then re-read the article and you will see the company is still breaking laws.

this news is atleast 2 months old and people are still trying to tinfoil hat it into a direct bitcoin attack.. when the true story is a scam warning, that just happens to be using bitcoin as its funding method

I think you'd better read the article carefully and while you're at it, learn a little about how the oil business works in the real world.

I think Team 3 Letters Inc. is looking down the Bitcoin rabbit hole, pulling out hares along the way.

If I can connect the dots between Imogo and dosarrest.com and itsecurityguru.org, I'm sure as hell that T3L can do the same thing with their infinite resources.

I think that SEC should have a mirror image title to an "accredited investor": an "accredited dumbass". Accredited investor title was meant to protect the proverbial "widows and orphans" from investment scams and the onus is on the sales agent to discover if the investor is accredited.

Accredited dumbass would be a mirror image of this title: somebody who is beyond the reproductive age (or submits to an appropriate for their sex medical procedure) an such a person would would carry a card allowing them to invest in absolutely anything and indemnify the sales agent who sold them their investment.

Accredited dumbass would also be ineligible for unemployment and any other social benefits.

I think nobody would apply for this title unless the card would say "accredited smartass" or some other passive-aggressive platitude.

Edit: Also, the successful applicants for this title should not only receive a card but get a tattoo/branding saying the above, probably on their ass. And the laws that require the hospitals to accept anybody regardless of their ability to pay should be amended to allow throwing out anyone who shows up without valid prepaid insurance and have the accredited dumbass tattoo.

in short they are begging for money before they even have permission to work, prospect, or even dig a hole in the ground. it doesnt even matter if they are asking for bunnyrabbit credits, itunes vouchers, bitcoins, bottles of moonshine. before offering an investment they need to prove they have something to invest in.

...... actually come to think of it.. they are asking for funds to thin air at the moment so technically their lack of 'product' scam is technically a gas.. :D

Mason Williams' Classical Gas comes to mind.
