"Sonny" (the convicted programmer, under probe now) is not the same as "Chris" (who registered BFL in Wyoming),
so why are you writing "head of BFL is"?

Sonny Chris Vleisides, 39, previously of Kansas City, MO was arrested in 2007 and held two years in Italy before he was extradited to the United States. Vleisides was sentenced to 14 months in prison followed by three years supervised release after pleading to one count of mail fraud.

Wow! When I saw that picture the fake logo immediately popped up! The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) can't even get someone to photoshop that accurately?!?! Geez!

NEW YORK — The U.S. government is trying to save investors from themselves. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) created a fake scam Web site to warn investors about real con artists trying to tempt them to cash in on consumers' terrorism fears.
The site, mcwhortle.com, pitches investors a fictional company called "McWhortle Enterprises." It's eerily similar to real frauds popping up all over the Web in the post-Sept. 11 environment.

The make-believe company supposedly has the better mousetrap for the war on terror: the "Bio-Hazard Alert Detector." The handheld gizmo "emits an audible beep and flashes in the presence of all known biohazards" and is small enough to "slip into a woman's purse or a child's backpack," says the site.

Best of all, investors are told, they can get in on McWhortle's "pre-approved" initial public offering that promises to boost their investment "400 times" within three months. Rounding out the site are phony press releases and testimonials from Wall Street analysts, CEOs and customers. But surfers eventually hit this page: "Watch Out. If you responded to an investment idea like this, you could get scammed."

The site, launched in January, is a success, says Susan Wyderko, director of the SEC's office of investor education and assistance. McWhortle has had more than two million hits, and many consumers say it helped them avoid real con artists.

The problem? "We got calls and e-mails from people who were serious about investing," says Wyderko. The site is loaded with telltale signs of investment fraud, such as bogus terms like "pre-approved IPOs." But hundreds of consumers sent investment inquiries — and some even sent their bank account numbers.

Even scarier: The mock site cost the SEC only $50 to put up. Staffers wrote the copy in their spare time. "It's very easy and very cheap to put up a nice-looking Web site," says Wyderko. Emboldened by McWhortle, the SEC is posting more scam sites to warn about other types of scams promising unbelievable returns. The bottom line: Investors should do their homework, warns the SEC. Make sure the company exists and its products are genuine. Check if it's registered with the SEC on the Edgar database. If not, check with state securities regulators. "Our message is be very careful and investigate thoroughly before you spend your hard-earned money," says Wyderko.

Where is the McWhortle moniker from? Wyderko made it up after reading Dr. Seuss stories to her kids. The phony company's equally phony CEO, "Thomas James McWhortle III," is named for her son, Thomas.

Spread the facts of his crime with anyone he tries to work with or have any kind of a relationship with. Use ostracization instead of violence, because not only will you follow the non-aggression principle which allows for a peaceful and prosperous society but is also much more effective.

My only problem with that pic is that it looks like a new shoe.

A shoe needs a lot more age before it becomes as smelly as BFL's reputation.  

Lets hope they come out with these. Make the chacne of 51% attack much less likely if a lot of people have access to asics.

So are you going to post pictures of the products soon or do we have to wait until people receive them and post amateur photos here?

Heatstroke, where in the OP did you read that?  And where did you read that Hendrix has a ukulele since he was 5?

Greyhawk, my error.  It's nice how you assume I didn't look it up myself to behold no results.

Any real physical contact will be included in "extras" I'm afraid. I'm offering an "online" friend experience (didn't I make that clear?).
