What a BS story,

The real story:
Quote
Nov 27, 2013: For the time being, I have suspended accepting new orders, pending resolution of some concerns I have as to regulatory issues. I am anticipating a possibility of having to prequalify buyers, and am holding off taking orders until I know for sure.

And what does your story prove? You're just quoting Caldwell. There are no specifics. The article itself mentions Caldwell's response to the situation.

So what your saying is that all my casascius coins will still exist and be worth more since they will be unavailable.

Yes!

Not a bad idea! Though I don't think It'll be as profitable.

Pretty much. So long as he doesn't sell them unloaded as a member mentioned above.
