Gigamining / Teramining

[Naelr]

What I want to know is where were all these legal aids when all these bitcoin securities started up?  If you guys knew all this before why not put it out there?  So now do all of us bond holders need to pony up some dough for lawyers?   Would have been nice to know some of this before buying into these, I guess I can say it is partly my fault for not looking into all the angles but it is just strange that all these legal aids have come crawling out of the woodwork....

just my 2 bit cents.

Stop being so dramatic, there is nothing to be done now. I don't know why you would trust someone online, with so much a lawyer would be necessary. If you have a issue with anyone it should be Nefario, he's the one who just put the trading value to zero. A issuer can only do what they know is honest. If they wanted to be jerk's they could just repurchase the share's for next to nothing.

I am not being dramatic, I am simply saying that that everyone wants to be an armchair quarterback now that it might be possible that lawyers might be involved.

Looks like day two is over and there is still nothing from GLBSE. I guess we will keep patiently waiting for Nefario to deliver what he has said he would. I still don't understand why the GLBSE application can't be brought back up with trading/transfering disabled.

Yea, it would be so easy for them to do things the right way.

You can now login and provide an email address for contact, a withdrawl bitcoin address, and a checkbox to share that information with the asset issuers. I'm assuming it will include such information as "how many shares you have" to the asset issuers.

I have complete the GLBSE AML forms to receive the gigamining coins back.

Did you have to provide all 3 forms of identification: photo ID, proof of address, and (the most amateurish) photo of you with hold up a piece of paper with your GLBSE username and date?

Giga,

Are your bondholders also required to submit the identifcation details in order to receive the allocated bonds or will the list of this information be provided to you directly?

Thanks

I doubt anyone knows right now - technically if Nefario's going for full AML compliance it's likely to be the former.

Before anyone gives up personal information to a stranger and registered scammer, they should ask what legal authority BitcoinGlobal has in requesting this information:

Haven't seen that request, but if they're requesting personal information there's a few points they need to clear up first:

1.  If the information is for AML purposes then which AML supervisor are they registered with?  In the uK there's about 8 different supervisors, depending on the nature of your business (IF your business is one subject to the AML legislation).  The obvious one for them would be the FSA (which covers financial service providers) but there ARE others (e.g. casinos have the gambling/gaming commission).  If they're requesting information for AML purposes then they need to be registered with one of the designated supervisory bodies.

2.  If it's for AML purposes then a link please to their AML compliance policy.

3.  If not for AML purposes then what is this information going to be used for?  And how long will it be retained for?  This is information they're obligated to provide under the Data Protection Act.

4.  Irrespective of the answers above, link please to their DPA compliance policy/statement?

5.  Can GLBSE please confirm that they have professional indemnity insurance covering them against loss or misuse of clients' data.

6.  What is their intention in respect of anyone who refuses to provide the documents but requests their funds returned?  Will they just keep the money?  Report them as a suspected money launderer?  Turn their BTC over to the police?

As soon as I receive the request referred to in OP I'll be emailing requesting the above information (can't check my email right now - assume that's where it is).  If they refuse to answer the questions but persist in requesting the information then I will next send a formal request for my funds (providing my name/address but not giving any documents which would allow identity theft).

gigavps, I checked "Share with issuers? Check this box if you wish to share the above information with issuers for assets you have bought." checkbox to let you know how many bonds I bought from your assets, I hope this to be enough to help you.

Hi johnlu,

I will notify everyone in this thread when I have received the list of asset holders and the BTC that was in GLBSE. Without the list of asset holders, it will be tough to do much of anything. I am also continuing to work with counsel to find a way forward without an exchange.

Best,

[johnlu]

I'd like that you can continue with gigamining and teramining.

Thanks for all the extra work you are doing.

Make sure you counsel looks in to the newly voted crowd sourcing law H.R.2930:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c112:4:./temp/~c112dITQd0::

Its not going to make everyone happy since bonds would no longer be tradable directly among investors and its not clear to me if investors could remain anonymous, but it could provide a legal framework to operate within.

+1 & to the other helpful comments, I've logged in to GLBSE site & registered my email address, bitcoin address & checked the box for requesting that the list of my assets are shared with the issuers of these assets.

Last night, I had trouble logging in, but it's working now.  Don't know how long it'll take for them to kick my balance loose...it's less than BTC1, so it's not a huge loss if it doesn't, but it'd be nice if they did.
