We're already familiar with Brock Pierce and Bobby Lee, for they're the two newest board members of The Bitcoin Foundation, the former thanks to KnC Miner becoming a Platinum Member of TBF one day prior to the erection of which somehow, someway, the block chain misplaced the tx proving that KnC Miner did indeed pay the $100K USD via BTC membership fee, probably from the bitcoins mined via working miners from their 7,000+ mega-pharm (one of three) located next to Facebook's office, on its property cleverly named The Node Pole in northern Sweden.

Mayor
Clarksville, California
September 2002 – Present (11 years 10 months)Clarksville, Ca
Startup Town

Clarksville was a thriving old pony express town located 20 miles west of California's capital city, Sacramento. When the Intercontinental Highway (50) was built, they neglected to put in a freeway exit and the town went away. Bradley led the purchase of Clarksville with the vision of building a futuristic town from the ground up. In December of 2013, El Dorado County broke ground on building a freeway exit into Clarksville.

Point West suit awaits judge's OK

Point West Capital Corp. will pay $3.15 million to settle a class-action shareholder lawsuit regarding its discontinued business of buying insurance policies from the terminally ill.
The agreement in principle was revealed in a Point West filing Aug. 16 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. However, the settlement has not been approved by a judge, said a lawyer for shareholders.

Point West Chairman Bradley Rotter refused to comment.

The suit, filed December 1996 in federal District Court in San Francisco, alleged fraud and misleading accounting in connection with an initial public offering by Dignity Partners Inc. Shareholders contended they lost thousands of dollars after Dignity Partners' stock tanked to $1 per share within months of their investments.

Dignity Partners is now a subsidiary of Point West, which is operated by many of the same Dignity Partners officers.

Insurance covers 70 percent of the settlement, according to the SEC files. The remaining $945,000 was counted as a second-quarter expense by Point West.

Point West earned $1.25 million in the first half of the year. Its subsidiaries now include Fourteen Hill Capital, which invests mainly in pre-IPO, Internet-related companies, and Allegiance Capital, which makes loans to funeral home and cemetery operators.

Point West continues to operate Dignity Partners, one of the first companies into the viaticals business for AIDS patients. But Dignity Partners no longer buys life insurance policies; it suspended the business in July 1996, saying life-extending advances in AIDS treatments reduced profit expectations.

DIGNITY PARTNERS SHARES FALL 77% AFTER AIDS NEWS.(Business)

Byline: Ken Kohn and Stephen Walsh Bloomberg Business News

NEW YORK -- Dignity Partners Inc. shares fell 77% after the company, which tries to make money from the terminally ill, said it will suspend purchases of life insurance policies from AIDS patients because of progress in treating the disease.

Shares of San Francisco-based Dignity fell $4.69 to $1.38 after the company said late Tuesday that medical developments toward helping people with AIDS and the HIV virus announced at the International AIDS Conference last week could hurt its profits.

A total of 647,200 Dignity shares traded on the Nasdaq market, more than 10 times the average daily trading volume for the past six months. …

Dignity Close to Shutting / Viatical settlements firm plans asset sale

Dignity Partners Inc., the financially troubled company that makes money by buying life insurance policies from the terminally ill, said yesterday it is seeking to liquidate the firm's assets.

San Francisco-based Dignity Partners provided viatical settlements. It paid to the terminally ill, usually those with AIDS, a portion of the value of their life insurance policies while they were still alive.

In exchange, Dignity would be named the beneficiary of the policy and continue to pay the premiums. After the holder died, the company collected the full value of the policy.

One of the only public companies in the roughly $300 million viatical settlement industry, Dignity's stock began to suffer as research indicated that new treatments are extending the lives of many AIDS patients.

Dignity announced yesterday that it had agreed to sell 197 policies, with face values totaling $14.2 million, to an undisclosed viatical settlement company for $8.7 million.

In addition, Dignity said in a press release that it "intends to seek stockholder approval to sell all or substantially all of its assets."

John Rotter, the company's chief financial officer, said the company had no further comment.

In July, Dignity said it had temporarily stopped processing new applications from AIDS patients while it analyzed research results on protease inhibitors and other new AIDS treatments.

Last month, the company said it had hired Jefferies & Co. to explore "strategic business options."

Dignity's collapse has "sent a shock wave through the industry," said Fred Sakamoto of Willbanks & Associates, a San Francisco brokerage that finds viatical settlement companies for AIDS patients.

Since Dignity announced it was accepting no more customers who suffered from AIDS, the percentage of cash an AIDS patient could get on a policy has dropped to as low as 30 percent, he said. Typically, AIDS patients had been able to receive 50 percent to 85 percent of the face value of their life insurance policies from a viatical settlement company.

In addition, industry sources said, AIDS sufferers now need to demonstrate more severe symptoms before a viatical settlement company will agree to a payout.

"Other companies are tightening restrictions, but there are still options available," said Ken Shigematsu, team leader for client services at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.

He said that some companies, such as Chicago-based Viaticus Inc., had diversified their client bases to other types of terminally ill patients, such as those with cancer, heart ailments and Alzheimer's disease.

I see you're dying. Luckily, we have a plan you'll loce where both of us profit, us more so than you, but why split hairs when soon your sorry ass won't be around any longer.

...

From the desk of sorry-ass. Bradley N. Rotten:

Unfortunately, we can no longer profit as handsomely as we've done in the past off people dying of AIDS due to the advancement of medicine.

Fortunately, for those that we still can make a buck off of, we have lowered the payout amount of which we, outta the kindness of ours hearts, have so graciously offered before.

Live long and prosper while we seek others to fleece, for it's the new West Point thingie I devised.

Regards,

BNR/bnr (as in boner)

crumbling wells fargo building at clarksville, ca, ghost town

The old Wells Fargo building along the original Lincoln Highway. Clarksville, CA, a ghost town near El Dorado Hills and Folsom. It is on private property and this was a private tour. It will be open to the public for the first time in May 2009 for Clarksville Day, a celebration of the history of the town. These were all taken for the Folsom Telegraph and the story and some of the pics will be used in print and online at folsomtelegraph.com

I'll give you three guesses to who the mayor is of this lovely town is, and the first two won't count.

The only thing that I can think that's more crazy is the state of California allocating funds to built two exits/entrance ramps so that this lovely town can receive more visitors... Oh, wait!

How about the only thing crazier is that plans are in stored to rebuilt the town starting with Crypto Bank?... Okay, you got me on that one too.

Bradley N. Rotter / Chairman

    Bradley Rotter has been an investor since 1982. His first focus for personal investments was with hedge funds in the early eighties concurrent with his speculating on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Brad traded government bonds on Wall Street at E.F. Hutton before returning to Chicago to become a member of the Board of Trade. He pioneered the practice of investing in the equity of startup fund managers and even now, Brad's portfolio is comprised solely of a wide array of alternative investments.

Rotter was awarded the Private Deal of the Year Award by Investors Dealer's Digest for one such innovative structured finance transaction. Rotter has had extensive public company experience which includes his role as Chairman of Point West Capital Corporation. He serves on numerous private and public boards. Brad completed his undergraduate education at West Point and received his MBA from the University of Chicago. Rotter was recently elected to the San Francisco County Republican Central Committee.


Nolan K. Bushnell / Director

    Mr. Bushnell founded and was CEO of Atari Corporation, a manufacturer of video games, from 1971 to 1978. He grew the Company to more than $800 million in sales before his departure. He founded and served as CEO of Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theater, a restaurant chain featuring electronic entertainment, from 1977 to 1983, and grew that company to more than $350 million in sales. From 1978 to 1996, Mr. Bushnell served as the sole proprietor of Catalyst Technologies, a source of technical advice and venture capital for Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. He served as Chairman for several Catalyst companies such as ETAK, Androbot, ByVideo, Magnum Microwave, Axlon and Octus.

Mr. Bushnell is the Founder and CEO of uWink, Inc. (OTCBB: UWNK), a digital entertainment company based in Los Angeles, California that develops interactive entertainment software and platforms for restaurants, bars, and mobile devices. uWink is currently building a new entertainment dining experience called uWink Bistro which leverages uWink’s proprietary network and entertainment software, including the uWink Game Library.

https://gigaom.com/2011/11/03/419-pce11-the-intersection-of-gaming-and-gaming/

We’re going to see new combinations of video games and old-fashioned board games and gambling, panelists said in “The Accelerated Evolution of Gaming Think Tank.”

Video games are a $50 billion-a-year industry, said entrepreneur Brock Pierce, a pioneer in marketing virtual goods in online games. Meanwhile, the traditional gaming industry–gambling–brings in $700 billion per year. “In a casino today, you see slot machines that look a lot like video games,” Pierce said. And that overlap will continue as cash-strapped federal and state governments liberalize U.S. gaming laws in search of tax revenues.

Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari, agreed: “‘Gaming gaming’ is an ascendant market of massive proportions. Once you give people the ability to play a slot machine a few times before they go to bed, on their credit card, they will do it.”

By Nathan Layne
In the filing, [ Sunlot ] listed Freeh Group International Solutions, a firm established by former FBI director Louis Freeh that has carried out a series of investigations into high-profile scandals, among a team of advisers it planned to tap for Mt. Gox.

Note: "it planned to tap".  Sunlot also mentioned PricewaterhouseCooper (PwC) as a firm that might do the audit.  But their PR admits (and it is in their writings, apparently) that they have no agreement with PwC yet.  They plan to "tap" PwC after the takeover is approved, but if PwC does not accept their terms and price, then Sunlot is free to do whatever it pleases about the audit, and the clients who agreed to the takeover will be allowed to sit and wait.

Presumably their deal with FGIS for the criminal investigation is on the same level as their deal with PwC.

But I have a bad feeling about how this affair wil end.  Sunlot already made a deal with the major claimants who were suing MtGOX in the US (and who claimed to have evidence of wrongdoings) to retire their lawsuit.  Some big-time criminals will probably walk out of this, free and rich...

The crooks look so determined, and the bitcoiners so naive, greedy, and lame...  

You almost had me, till I figure out why such verbiage was used to inject Louis Freeh's namesake in Sunlot's quest.

Singapore Bitcoin Conference Goes Ahead While Trouble Brews in China

http://cointelegraph.com/news/111403/singapore_bitcoin_conference_goes_ahead_while_trouble_brews_in_china

All eyes will be on the latest Bitcoin Conference in South-East Asia this month in light of an increasingly difficult scene for cryptocurrencies in China.

On 21-22 May, Coin Congress will hold its first conference event in Singapore. The event, described on its website as no less than “the most awesome digital currency event,” seeks to discuss the wider implications of the digital currency revolution on business.

“Coin Congress brings together the industry’s top thought leaders to share their insights on the overall state of digital currencies, and provides attendees with actionable takeaways for their businesses,” investor and Coin Congress advisor Brock Pierce told Bitcoin Magazine.

Among the high-profile attendees due to speak at the event are famous advocator Roger Ver and BTC China CEO Bobby Lee. Lee’s speech will no doubt draw considerable interest in light of the recent upheaval in China, with his exchange and four others announcing their withdrawal from next week’s Global Bitcoin Summit in Beijing in a recent joint statement.

Lee is also an official advisor of Coin Congress, along with Pierce and Bitcoin evangelist and investor Bradley Rotter. Other representatives of the local Bitcoin space will also be in attendance, such as Alex Liu, co-founder of Taiwanese MaiCoin.

The conference will also cover monetization, integration and user acquisition of Bitcoin and digital currencies to round out the event’s appeal to all demographics.

Registration for the two days is fairly inexpensive at $300 when purchased in advance. Registration is still open and more information is available here.

COMPANY HISTORY

         On September 30, 1995, the Company and its then sole stockholder, The
Echelon Group Inc. ("Echelon") entered into a series of transactions
(collectively, the "Reorganization") to separate the business of Dignity
Partners from Echelon's other business interests. Echelon, which was owned by
Bradley N. Rotter, Alan B. Perper and John Ward Rotter, the only executive
officers of the Company (collectively, the "Executive Officers"), conducted a
number of financial services businesses in addition to the business conducted by
Dignity Partners. As part of the Reorganization, the Executive Officers created
a newly formed limited liability company, The Echelon Group of Companies, LLC
("New Echelon LLC"), and contributed to New Echelon LLC the shares of common
stock of Echelon owned by them in return for equity interests in New Echelon
LLC. Echelon then sold to New Echelon LLC substantially all of its assets other
than the then outstanding shares of common stock of Dignity Partners (the
"Echelon Asset Sale"). Following the Echelon Asset Sale, Echelon was merged with
and into Dignity Partners (the "Merger").

Thursday, May 01, 2014 at 2:24 p.m. the New Orleans Fire Department (NOFD) received a 911 call reporting a fire in the 1800 block of Duels St.  The first NOFD company arrived on the scene at 2:28 p.m.; finding a single-story, wood-framed dwelling at 1859 Duels St. fully involved, with fire coming through the roof.  Neighboring multi-unit dwellings on both sides of the fire building showed signs of exposure on arrival, prompting a second-alarm at 4:30 p.m.  1857A and B Duels St., an occupied 5-bedroom camel-back with an apartment in the rear, received severe fire damage to the rear half of the structure and considerable smoke and water damage to the remainder of the building.  1861A-B/1863, a two-story, multi-unit, wood-framed dwelling on the right of the original fire building also received severe fire damage to the rear half of the structure.  Firefighters rescued two dogs from an upstairs apartment of 1861A-B/1863 Duels St.  No other residents at either of the dwellings were home at the time of the fire.  The dwelling where the fire originated, 1859 Duels St., had been abandoned and unoccupied since hurricane Katrina and had no utilities servicing the structure.

In Sandwich, IL, such an event is considered "caused by Albanian lightning". I'm sure in other parts of the world a similar colloquialism is used.
