The co-owner of two bitcoin-related websites is paying $50,843 to settle federal civil charges that he sold shares in the businesses without registering them as securities offerings. The Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday announced the settlement with Erik Voorhees in connection with soliciting investors to buy shares in the two sites, SatoshiDICE and FeedZeBirds.
