Does this run the risk of making ActM itself in violation of US law? Which unfortunatly happens to be grounded on US soil...

I thought it was based in belize. But unfortunately, it doesnt change anything. What is illegal is targeting unregistered securities to US citizens. Doesnt matter if the securities are shares in a US or Belize company. The only way around that is registering the securities with the SEC (and every other national security commission where you want to sell shares, the regulations are quite similar all over the world).

No, Active Mining Corporation is based in Belize, and with Bitfunder changing to not targeting US citizens, it will be legal.  I am sure, if any other country, send Ukyo a C & D letter, he would just cut off those IP as well.  Right now it is the SEC that is the problem, and that will be solved not serving US citizens.

Moving to yet another exchange isnt going to solve a thing, they will fold and block US citizens one after the other. And after US, they will block other countries when those security commissions wake up and smell the coffee.

Why not make it legal? AFAIK, registering a security with the SEC isnt so hard.

Ken mentioned that there is a exchange that is in the works in case BitFunder has to shut down. Would you be able to open that up for us? (US citizens)

Look at the ActM website.  Now imagine the same man building an exchange.

I wanna buy direct shares

Or ken can you open up on havelock?

Last I checked they were not accepting new securities. Also, you'd better believe Topace won't touch US securities with a ten foot pole after all this drama. Us Americans are hung out to dry, man. Land of the free...

Active Mining Corporation, seen this coming a long time ago, and has taken steps including incorporating in Belize and creating our own exchange in the event one is needed.  

Isn't BitFunder offshore of USA?

How will your "offshore exchange" be any different?


Sorry, but this is the question that needs an answer. Personal share holding rebuttals can wait.

It will not be any different, it is there in the even Bitfunder was to close down, to protect our Investors.  At this point we see that Bitfunder is staying open, unlike BTC-TC, to non US citizens.


Would you consider opening up an exchange for US holders to trade ActM shares on?

Thanks for the quick reply. Any solutions for US investors?

Yes

Edit:  I am sure there will be discussions on the board.

Ken: "Active Mining Corporation, seen this coming a long time ago"

Uh? Thanks for telling us...

All we could do is what we have done.  We did not know for sure what was going to happen, but it has happened before to the "Global Bitcoin Stock Exchange".

Ken,
at this point wouldn't it be best to pull all US based shares off of BitFunder and go direct or something? I don't want anything to do with BitFunder.
