Admittedly I do not know who a lot about Bruce Fenton, I know he ran for election for the Bitcoin foundation, but I noticed something that is somewhat concerning.
I've been doing some digging into this website satoshiroundtable.org for fun. The whois information for it shows:
The WHOIS information for fdvt has the same address:
Now for the weird/conspiracy bit, check out the website http://fdvt.com
Why does this company FDVT has some connection to the Satoshi Roundtable? This is concerning.
EDIT: apparently the connection between Bruce Fenton and FDVT has been known for sometime. Here is a reply he made on reddit when asked about it:

My investment firm, Atlantic Financial, bought the company Fleetwood Video some years back and changed the name to FDVT or Fleetwood Digital Technology Corp.- I believe 2004 or so but I am not positive -- certainly quite a while back. A family of a deceased business owner approached me and asked me to buy the business for what seemed to be a cheap rate. I figured it had enough revenue to cover the purchase cost and some goodwill from being so old (founded in 1985) and the customer list and registration to do business with the government.
The company served the clients mentioned - mainly selling blank video tapes for security cameras. That's pretty much what the business did. One of the Atlantic Financial employees had plans to make it into more of a broad consulting company but we didn't.
The company continued those services for a couple years as the contracts wound down and never worked in those areas again. We considered pursuing some government business but didn't. The company never asked for or got any new government contracts and the one part time employee who was on board with the aquisition moved on -- the internal employee working on it moved on. The small amount of revenue that came in covered most of the costs of the purchase.
I had thought that the business might have had value since it is a service disabled veteran business and I'm a disabled vet -- but I never used that certification or pursued those lines of business. It's really not my cup of tea. I had also considered using the business as a vehicle to help out a freind who is a martial arts trainer who had trained military and police - so he could run contracts through the business since it was registered in all the databases needed to do business with the government but it was too much effort relative to the reward.
We scrapped all the inventory, delisted all contracts with all government agencies and turned the shell of what was left into basically a catch all for web development and domain names we are afflicted with. The company took on a couple small web consulting clients in later years.
At the time -- 2004 or so, I was not as adamantly against the government as I am now. I had some interest in some types of government contracts -- I didn't pursue them but some of the work such as USAID efforts in Pakistan and security work interested me. I didn't pursue it, it doesn't interest me now and I don't do any government work now. Even the tiny bit of work that this company, which was owned by my company did was not something I was personally active in or profited from.
I am only giving so much information for full disclosure. That client list is pretty similar for Google, Microsoft, Dell etc Etc. The government buys a lot of stuff. I don't like it, I don't prefer working woth government and I wish they were smaller.

I hope then next conference to be in a Greek Island. Is more funny and beauty form every other island in the world 
What a load of bollocks 
The list has been updated since this, some new names added and some moved off.
Not sure how you define people as "scammers" the list is a well respected group of people who speak at events often and includes early adopters, venture capitalists, CEOs of venture backed companies and developers.

Delighted it's full. Who on earth would want to met all the scammers and deluded libertards in this list? Unless you plan to expose them?
Seriously, well over half of them have already stolen people's bitcoins, will do so or will get hacked because dumbness prevails.
We haven't put the location mainly because we don't want people to go to the trouble of flying there only to find that there are no on-site registrations.
Satoshi Round Table, the Bilderberg group of Bitcoin.
Oh no

I bet Roger Ver and Erik Voorhees can get the conspiracy theories going. Will you check for hidden microphones?
Erik and I joked about hiring an actor to dress as an Army officer and post it on Reddit as "NSA briefs Bitcoin group...photo leaked".

Attendees should be discouraged from connecting to that open network named "Hotel Guest" and leaving unencrypted laptops in their hotel rooms
So how will the discussions that come out of this meeting be shared with the community?
There's not much for all of us to gain from this otherwise, since it's already booked and we can't get any tickets.
There's not much for all of us to gain from this otherwise, since it's already booked and we can't get any tickets.
FOR example....many CEOs will not criticise regulators in a public event because they fear reprisals from the regulators. Another example is that some CEOs fear to attack known scams in public because they don't want attacks from scammers or to be associated with them (even as a critic) in the newspaper. There are other examples....but these are a couple of reasons why some types of interaction can be beneficial if not wide open publicly with press etc.

It's like a private dinner but we will make every effort to make it as transparent as possible.
One purpose of posting this was so that people coiod ask for a wait list invite if there is a cancelation.
Another is just to let people know it exists.
Some video and notes will be taken but it will be a private event not public, so the difference is that people will be encouraged to speak more freely.

Is that the Dominican Republic or the location is secret and you just post a generic Carribean location photo?
They don't seem to reveal it I think... But it's a good thing and looks like a get-together sort of...
I didn't realize how genius the Satoshi Roundtable logo was before I saw the Shiba Inu.
Thank you!
And note the "Block" "chain" surrounding it...faces covered, 010101000. Etc.
