One of their member casinos sold you a license?
Which casino sold you a license, what license did they sell you and how much did you pay?
Yes, Bustabit sold "licenses", but when going to sell my business through a broker, they wanted to check all paperwork and have it reviewed by a lawyer. All I have to show them is a "nothing burger" which is a text file they put on their website:
bustabit.com/license.txt is the link to the text file I'm referring to.
The cost for the "license" was 2 bitcoins per site (Almost $140k as I am posting right now)
I have spoken to a lawyer, and I've been told that legally I have absolutely nothing, and the original writer of the code has legal rights to require the discontinuation of the code at any time. Legally, the code is copyrighted, and the only thing that I'm entitled to is to read the code, not use it commercially, not modify it as my own work, not modify it proprietorially... I can't blame my broker's buyer for not wanting anything to do with it. I've had some less than ideal things happen in the past couple of years
I thought about it for awhile, then I posted publically to bustabit, they said I should have asked for what I needed at the time of purchase. Time of purchase is still now, because time of purchase means not only when you pay for something, but until you receive something (which I've not received to this date). I offered to surrender the domain name (that has value, and I personally paid for) in order to facilitate my bitcoin being returned. In short, I could transfer the domain to them, they could then have control over it / do whatever they wish to do with it... Then remove the domain name from the list they have in their text file. They refused to refund me, not even partially (although, especially at this point I won't be accepting anything less than what I paid initially)... I really thought they wouldn't want the refusal to be so public. But, I Think maybe the issue is just too complex and someone skimming the forums doesn't realize how big I've been wronged here. In fact, there is 32 domains that paid these license fees and were never given a license.
I have spoken with a lawyer, I just don't agree with the way they want to go about it (Reporting to authorities that way they did was criminal in nature, and then receiving settlement from the subsequent closing / seizing of the entity ... I feel like its snitching but I am not seeing another way if the foundation is not able to be contacted, and the Bustabit is directly refusing, the crime is in fact large enough they will open a case that won't close until it is settled) ... There's other issues with it too, like if they go in there and seize things, no one is going to get their funds unless they verify themselves, and maybe some of those people are invested less than legally in the United States and then I'd be the a-hole that caused someone even bigger losses ... its just disguisting to me as some days I see their site making many more times what I wish to be refunded for a purchase never received. Pure greed at its worst
I think I'll just ask the community what to do in the bustabit thread, and at least let them know of the possibility of the crime being reported which would allow them to remove their investments, etc. It sounded like it was a lengthy process anyway and could take as long as 3 years even... I'm open to any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, etc here...
