I did some research through the databases we use that contain personal identifiers, address, and lots of other information on people here.  Nothing comes up on him with that birth date and nothing on his name in this state at all.  This is quite unusual for a 29-year-old guy and indicates he his not living a middle class lifestyle with credit cards, etc...

A search of database records on this address revealed no ties to a Thomas Mica.

No criminal records were found in the state on anyone named Thomas Mica.

No corporations or other business entities connected to his name in this state.

I did some extensive searching on the Internet I am finding nothing at all pertaining to a Thomas Mica in this region of the country.

Just a quick update on progress (or more accurately; lack thereof unfortunately).

Tom's ID Verification
I am waiting to hear back from one of the parties who can provide this service, and then I can make a decision on the best option moving forward.  Regardless, I will make a decision tomorrow night (my time; 24hrs from now) and then get this moving.  Once I give the go-ahead, we should hopefully get some results back fairly quickly (within 48hrs).

Domain Contact Information
The domain privacy company have now said that they require some kind of 'legal notification' before they will reveal any information, which is both disappointing, and contrary to what is written on their website.  So unfortunately we'll have to put this on the back-burner for now.

I'll keep you posted on my progress (or further lack thereof!)

Under either of the 2 scenarios (scam or SEC trouble) I highly doubt he would say anything in person or on camera if ya caught up w/ him. IMO, if it was SEC trouble then they should just pay the fine and refund us our money and then carry on their private trading outfit amongst themselves. How long do they think they're gonna lay low and avoid penalty if they're already on the radar? I bet this was all well and fine until they either got spooked or notified and then they just stopped the trading and won't resume or pay divs/refunds which would prove their involvement. So, they dipped on us and outside of siccing the authorities on them the show is over.

Check the state laws about recording people, some state allow it with out consent some do not.

If you do approach him, make sure u have a video camera recording of anything thing he says.

Instead of sending a PI to "gently" speak with him, you can send flowers to his home making a simple call to a delivery.
It's cheaper. 
PD: Text for flowers card: "From your shareholders"

Ok, I am making progress on the License verification front, but nothing solid to report as yet. 

I am having some trouble getting the domain privacy company to understand the current situation (the keep telling me to contact the domain owner via their form - which I have of course already tried).  However, I am persisting on this front for now.

I have also been checking out some options for engaging a Private Investigator in the area where Tom's driver's license indicates he lives.  I have found another PI who works only 20 min away from Tom's address and charges $80 per hour plus travel.  The first PI lived an hour away and charges $100 ph with a minimum of 4 hours billable.  A third PI has not returned either of the 2 emails I sent to them in the last week.

I am thinking that if the license is legit, we could contract a PI to pay Tom a visit and (gently) try to ascertain what's going on.  I am hoping that a number of shareholders would be willing to chip in and help me pay for this.  I imagine that it might take 2-3hrs for this initial work - so the cost would be $160-240 in total.  If we could get 25 shareholders to put in $10 (~0.017 BTC @ $580/BTC) each, that would cover it.  I would be happy to use some kind of Escrow if that's what everyone wanted.

What does everyone think about that idea?
