Hello SwC faithful: I'm sure you have seen the news today. (yup, after a quick scroll up, you have seen the news) First off, SwC will continue as is. I am going to step back for an undetermined amount of time and deal with this legal matter. The personal safety of myself and my family is first and foremost to me. This is a very serious matter. I'll update you when I can. you will be left in good hands with ST7. I have all trust in them. Technologically I expect the project to continue forward on the path described. As always, all funds secure. I have retained top legal representation in Nevada. This is going to deplete my funds rather quickly, and they only take fiat so I'm asking for fiat donations here: http://gofund.me/t7q32awand bitcoin donations in the first comment of this Reddit are also appreciated at this extremely tough time: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/34759e/bryan_micons_legal_defense_on_gofundme_bitcoin/Wish I wasn't so poor so that I could help. I appreciate your bravery in challening status-quo and crufty, old, stale mindsets for many years now. IMHO, you are a minor hero for freedom and I wish I could do more than just send you good vibes. Still, I wish you the best. Keep us posted when you can.

@Micon, does your reply mean you will be leaving Seals and be heading back to the States ? or will you continue fighting the case while in Antigua only ? Good luck with your fight.

Can someone explain the legal technicalities of this case to me. SwCpoker was running from Antigua, then why is Micon being charged here in Nevada?
I understand that the legal department knows that it was Sealswithclubs previously but how can they sue charge someone for running a company/site with different name from different location?

They aren't, this is about the original Seals. And nobody's suing anybody, this is a felony charge. Though all they have to do is sign somebody up for SwC from Nevada and operating it becomes illegal there, even though it's being done elsewhere. Internet laws are really stupid.

Yeah I meant charge not sue, sorry. And it does seem stupid.

He was living in NV when Seals was running. They are accusing him of having something to do with running the site. That is a felony.

I just had a payout for a withdrawal request this morning, so I am sure there is nothing to worry about. You should probably just message support about it.

It's hardly to win that case, although we support you and knwo nevada gambling is BS.
