What shitstorm? They've sent a sort of "cease and desist" letter to Leandro, who, not wanting to get screwed, complied. The fund is over, and that's it. There's nothing "ahead of them".

My point is if Leandro hasn't broken any Brazilian laws then he shouldn't back down, even with a "cease and desist" letter. If he was in the USA then definitely drop the word "Investment" from the name, in my opinion, or change it to something silly like cyberinvestments, vaporshares, whatever... "The corrupt fear us. The honest support us. The heroic join us." - Bitcoin Magazine

He removed the thread from the forum. He started another one asking for loans, because asking for loans and paying interest isn't illegal

Firstly I'm based in the UK (right now in China but that is temporary), which suffers a lot less from corrupt officials than the likes of Brazil Oh but there was no corruption in this. At least if you define corruption as "not respecting the law", this was not corrupt at all. The law was strictly and actually efficiently applied. And that's the whole problem. Contrary to popular belief, the main problem with countries like Brazil are not the corrupt officials. These actually give people some air to breath. They allow you, through some bribe, to avoid the worst. It's precisely those who efficiently apply the laws, like this Otávio Yazbek, that fuck us all. (Of course, officials who ignore all crappy laws and let people live their lives in peace without requiring any bribe are preferable to the corrupt ones, but these are unfortunately quite rare...) Either what I'm doing is legal or illegal, running a stock exchange for a virtual curreny, good luck proving thats illegal.
Not wanting to be negative, as I sincerely appreciate what you've done (GLBSE), but I'm pretty sure they can find tons of laws you're breaking. I think you're putting yourself in danger by operating GLBSE without hiding your identity. I'd like to be wrong on this one though. This is a common stategy of overbearing governments (China being a prime example) where nearly everything is illegal (officially, meaning there is a law against that action which could be applied), the only way to get anything done is to bribe or pull strings. Often there are laws there which are almost never applied, except in the situation where the state wants to take someone down. For example, did you know that it is illegal to have pre-marital sex in mainland China? It's never applied (as you can imagine there are plenty of people sleeping around here), but it's there, ready to be used when it needs to be. However I believe that the concerns about me running GLBSE are well placed, I still don't think that it's large enough to warrant official attention in the UK at least just yet. I believe my next step will be to separate the deveopment of GLBSE and it's running. With the development being tied to my public identity.

Probably America too, but it's much more obvious in places like China, take for example the definition of a state secret in China, anything that is said in public that is not approved by the government. Only applied when someone has pissed off the wrong person in the communist party.

I really can't compare, just didn't want our persecution overlooked :-)
So, Cesar, the original project is done or no? And there is a new project with no details released yet?

This is crypto-totalitarianism. It's mostly everywhere, unfortunately.

bitcoin - the aerogel of money

This is just showing that Brazil is not going to be the place to do bitcoin related business, I don't believe that other first world countries will be following suit. This seems like a lazy decision by some official "what? bitcoin, Reals whatever, you need a 'licence' to continue".
This example illustrates why Brazil is rank 126 (out of 183) on the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business Index. Red tape and regulatory overzealousness in Brazil is horrible. Doing any kind business there is more difficult than in English speaking countries. On the other hand, the market is less saturated, and there are more gaps and inefficiencies that present great opportunities for making money. And Brazilians have a real skill for dodging the overbearing regulators. That's why am I am certain bitcoin related business won't disappear from Brazil.

"We are just fools. We insanely believe that we can replace one politician with another and something will really change. The ONLY possible way to achieve change is to change the very system of how government functions. Until we are prepared to do that, suck it up for your future belongs to the madness and corruption of politicians." Martin Armstrong
