CHEVY CHASE, Md., June 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- WeddingWire, the nation's leading wedding marketplace, and GayWeddings.com, the leading niche-based wedding planning resource and boutique, are excited to announce the launch of WedWeCan.com, a new site that showcases both companies' mutual stance toward marriage equality. Both WeddingWire and GayWeddings.com are excited to share the campaign's latest resource in wake of the Supreme Court's recent decisions to declare section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional, allowing marriage equality to be reinstated in the state of California.

The community-focused website features innovative same-sex wedding planning tools and access to the largest database of wedding vendors dedicated to serving same-sex couples, the latest updates in marriage equality and other relationship recognition laws from the Human Rights Campaign and more.

Just as WeddingWire and GayWeddings.com are leading resources in the wedding planning industry, the new Wed We Can website will be an added resource for couples looking to plan their own celebrations and embrace "Wed We Can" – whether or not their unions are currently legally recognized in their home states. On site, couples can search the extensive GayWeddings.com directory of over 50,000 wedding professionals who are ready to serve same-sex couples, while also utilizing WeddingWire's innovative and easy-to-use planning tools to get ready for their big day.

"After joining forces over two years ago, we are thrilled to continue to grow our stance toward marriage equality with our valued network partner, GayWeddings.com, and launch WedWeCan.com, a ground-breaking, resourceful new site and social campaign," said Sonny Ganguly, CMO, WeddingWire. "This campaign will not only empower wedding professionals and same-sex couples, but it will also act as a community and educational resource crucial to today's marriage equality movement, and is a way for anyone to share their support during this important time."

"The recent Supreme Court rulings on Proposition 8 and DOMA are breathtaking, exciting, and overdue," says Kathryn Hamm, President, GayWeddings.com. "We are thrilled that the new doors opening for the LGBTQ community will allow Wed We Can to serve even more couples, and, together with WeddingWire, we look forward to making sure that every wedding professional and every engaged couple has the resources they need to celebrate their love and commitment."

SurveyMonkey, Not Planning IPO, Raises $800M From Google, Others:

SurveyMonkey, the online consumer experience company run by David Goldberg, spouse of Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) COO Sheryl Sandberg, has raised $800 million in debt and equity financing, reports said, because it doesn’t plan an initial public offering soon.

The Palo Alto, Calif.-based website hired JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) to manage the current round, which values the company around $1.3 billion. Among new investors is Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), the No. 1 search engine, which might have its eye on the company.

Two large private equity companies, Bain Capital, the company founded by last year’s Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, and Spectrum Equity Investors had long backed SurveyMonkey, founded in 1999 by Ryan Finley, until Spectrum Equity acquired a majority stake in 2009.

Goldberg, who was brought in by Spectrum, had previously been an executive with Yahoo Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO), the No. 3 search engine, where he ran Yahoo Music, as well as other Silicon Valley companies. He’s making a new personal investment in the company, along with Tiger Global Management.

Goldberg and the other investors are putting in about $450 million, with the remainder coming in debt financing arranged by JPMorgan Chase. Tapping the new capital can allow for early investors and Finley to cash out or take some proceeds, rather than conduct a cumbersome IPO.

The SurveyMonkey CEO married Sandberg, a former senior executive with Google, in 2004. After Facebook’s May 2012 IPO, she was elected Facebook’s first female director. The value of her 20 million shares now exceeds $900 million, based on Thursday’s price of $30.21.

SurveyMonkey, which polls customers about their reactions to products and experiences, also has links to CBS Corp. (NASDAQ:CBS). Senior VP Zander Lurie serves as a company director, along with founder Finley and his brother Chris.

CoinLab lawsuit and Homeland Security seizure of US funds

On 2 May 2013 CoinLab filed a $75 million lawsuit against Mt. Gox alleging a breach of contract. The companies had formed a partnership in February 2013 under which CoinLab handled all of Mt. Gox's North American services. CoinLab's lawsuit contends that Mt. Gox failed to allow them to move existing U.S. and Canadian customers from Mt. Gox to CoinLab.

On 15 May 2013 the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a warrant to seize money from Mt. Gox's US subsidiary's account with payment processor Dwolla. The warrant suggests the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an investigative branch of the DHS, felt that the subsidiary, which was not licensed by the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), was operating as an unregistered money transmitter in the US. Between May and July more than $5 million were seized. On 29 June 2013, Mt. Gox received its money services business (MSB) license from FinCEN.

Thanks to the Duck, each passing day I believe the following to be more and more true:

This is from 2011:

When they weren’t busy mining, the faithful tried to solve the mystery of the man they called simply Satoshi. On a bitcoin IRC channel, someone noted portentously that in Japanese Satoshi means “wise.” Someone else wondered whether the name might be a sly portmanteau of four tech companies: SAmsung, TOSHIba, NAKAmichi, and MOTOrola. It seemed doubtful that Nakamoto was even Japanese. His English had the flawless, idiomatic ring of a native speaker.
