I just tried to open an account at BitcoinIRA.com and it did not go well.
Everything was going fine, I filled out all the paperwork, transferred my Roth IRA funds to BitcoinIRA and was waiting for the call from their trading partner,
Genesis Trading, in order to by the Bitcoins for the IRA.
Instead I got a call from BitcoinIRA saying that Genesis Trading would not do the trade due to an article they found about me.
The article they found is this one:
https://coinjournal.net/burt-wagner-localbitcoins-case-shows-danger-of-overbearing-government/It was explained to me that because they found this article they would not do the trade to purchase the Bitcoins.
I tried to explain to them that the charge was dismissed
with prejudice to no avail.
So, my wife called the attorney at Genesis Trading. The attorney at Genesis Trading told her that
they have an internal policy of not doing any business with anyone who has ever done any trading at localbitcions.com!So, just wanted to let you all know that if you have ever traded at localbitcoins you cannot get an IRA through BitcoinIRA.com
I am in the process of trying out some of their competitors. I will update when I know more.
