Living for what?
My broker (I've sold 3 FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) businesses with this guy, closed one low eight figure deal, and two mid six figure deals) has a client interested in buying my business. The main selling point of the whole deal is that software licensing has been paid for. Specifically, to a bitcoin gambling outfit that goes by the name of "Bustabit".

My broker says he needs copies of my licensing agreements. All that I'm able to show to them is this link to a text file on their website (bustabit.com/license.txt). I called the company out in their main thread under the gambling section but I'm getting told that I should have asked for what I needed at the time of purchase. I'm pretty sure that its still my time of purchase considering that I have never taken delivery of what I paid for (a license).

I tried to reach out to the organization that is supposed to keep them honest and in line (The Crypto Gambling Foundation) but their email address isn't valid, and they haven't responded to me letting them know about that in their respective thread here on bitcointalk.

I asked for help online under this "legal advice" section (different website), albeit not lawyer confirmed, I'm getting told that I got nothingburger'd:

" ... and your exemption is really a nothingburger. But again, I'd talk to an IRL lawyer for confirmation. "

I'm just posting here as a last ditch effort, I'm having a hard time coming to terms with having been nothingburgered ... I think its especially a lot to accept because I see the main website (bustabit.com) just raking in the bitcoins one after another ... The purchase price to be licensed was 2 bitcoins. Honestly, if I look really deep inward, I think its my own pride that is dragging me down on this one, I went in strong with my broker saying how I was licensed by bustabit, and when called out on it, I'm standing here with a .txt file they nothingburger'd me for. I just can't even think clearly, simply put, I bought a software license and I didn't get one. Who or what or grr idk right now... Advice ? I even offered to surrender my associated domain to cancel the purchase since I never got what I paid for, they publicly stated they wouldn't give me back a millibitcent (okay not those exact words but they said no). I have a hard time putting some things in to words, if someone out there does understand me well, it could even be as simple as the bustabit guys, I've had that sort of thing happen like that before.

Sorry for the long post and thank you for reading, anyone.
