So I can join your buyers' club and purchase btc at the price listed on the webpage?  That's a good deal.
You don't have escrow yet, so I'm wondering about the mechanics of the transaction.  Do I send the money first and then somebody sends me btc, or do does somebody send me btc first and then I pay for it?
Or do you pool transactions?
Right now it is one-to-one, manual, and we are geared towards the buyer.  In other words, we have to wait for someone to say they have crypcoin to sell. We pre-screen the buyer - make sure he's got enough money in his Akimbo account to make the purchase. Recognizing that localbitcoins and craigslist are TOTALLY in favor of the seller ("Moneygram me some money") we are putting the buyer in control:  Once the seller list them, seller transfers the crypcoin to buyers wallet, buyer then sends funds via Akimbo.

At this point we cannot guarantee the transaction.  That is why we are building [CryptoTrustPoint](http://www.cryptotrustpoint.com).  Ultimately, all our transactions will be conducted through CryptoTrustPoint.

Did I answer your question?

Is it possibly to steal bitcoins with moneybookers like they do with paypal?
They buy BTC and after you send it to person, the same person put a claim in paypal that account was compromised and they get money back and keep bitcoin.

That's why we chose Akimbo - there is no chargeback. 
The Akimbo program is a essentially a single ledger with the bank. 
Akimbo has built the front-end to allow instant transfers between members.  It works!  No fees and no chargebacks.

We are a group of buyers who will buy five cryptocurrencies through our Akimbo cards.

We are looking for more buyers so we can increase the amount of transactions we can process. 

Ultimately, we will utilize a 2of3 multisig transaction, using the blockchain as the escrow agent.

I've been watching this thread and, yes, when you put it that way I guess it does sound kinda scammy...

Let me to be more transparent and explain:

We are 4 bitcoin guys who all live in San Antonio, TX. We are out of Geekdom, which is a collaborative workspace that Graham Weston of Rackspace started for geeks and entrepreneurs to find each other. Two of us are miners, one of us is military reserve, and the other partner is the CEO of Akimbo Financial, the prepaid VISA card we are using.

Being the bitcointalk and reddit voyeur that I am, I had seen a lot of discussion around the multisig or MofN transactions. Have NOT seen any reasonable implementations of it. We decided to build a node to facilitate those transactions, effectively escrowing to the blockchain. That is CryptoTrustPoint.com, our main project. In the meantime, cryp2cash.com can help with instant money for coin while we get the multisig project completed.

Hope this helps - I appreciate the feedback on how best to present ourselves, and what is right or wrong with our approach.

http://www.cryp2cash.com is a new business that offers INSTANT USD for BTC and four other crypocurrencies.

We send money with Akimbo Card because users get their money instantly and can use it anywhere VISA debit cards are accepted, AND at ATMs!  Also, money transfers are completely free and there are no chargebacks on Akimbo P2P transfers.

We also have a BITCOIN BUYERS CLUB for people who want to participate on the buying side of the transaction.

Please help us promote our business!
