Due to the closure of Crypto-trade.com I am giving away some of the less liquid coins, held in the BBBB account. The rest are being liquidated to BTC and paid out as a dividend.

...stagnation in this burgeoning area...
Or burgeoning in a stagnant area. Keeping in touch with ABitInterested?

Glad to hear that; good to see that they realize that there is 'bigger game to hunt'. I agree with your comment that is a contributing factor to stagnation in this burgeoning area.
Good enuf... the lack of info during the process left a lot of room for speculation.
So, we can count on getting a 600% return this year, or perhaps only 500% now? (kidding)

Does this also free you up to discuss the action that was taken up until now or are you still gagged?

I was never gagged, per se. I just felt it'd be better to remain quiet.
The action was a voluntary request to produce information regarding Surf Capital Management and BBBB. Apparently, the SEC agents saw a version of the BBBB prospectus I had posted on LinkedIn and thought it was enough to investigate whether or not "violations of federal securities laws had occurred." So, after numerous phone calls and hours of producing documents they decided that they had bigger game to hunt. Therefore, ending their investigation.
I worked closely with Philip Moustakis, who is head of the new SEC "Digital Currency Working Group," a sort of gov't task force set up to prosecute Bitcoin securities fraud. I also worked with another SEC attorney in Chicago, David Benson. I won't say it was a pleasurable experience - and it definitely didn't help that I was unable to access financial documents from the GLBSE and BTC-TC, etc. What the SEC didn't realize is that their intimidation of the 'little guys' here on Bitcointalk is causing innovation in this area to cease. The p2p Bitcoin financial markets in 2009-2012 were way more robust than they are today.
I am my attorney 
Wow... That's impressive.

Any news? As long as it's not 25 to life without possibility of parole any news are welcome
I submitted ~150mb of information on a flash drive to (1) the investigating attorney and (2) the SEC central processing unit in Washington, D.C. The information contained proprietary research on various crypto-currency related ventures as well as information about the shareholders of BBBB (disclosed e-mail addresses) as well as some personal documents. The SEC attorney requested additional information concerning certain accounts (Havelock, Crypto-trade, etc.). The additional information was again sent via flash drive to the investigating attorney on 11/4. Since then, I have had no further correspondence with anyone at the SEC.
Sounds just about right... A wild-goose chase. Thanks for the update. Providing everything will clear up with an inquiry keep us posted on what's happening with the fund if you haven't given up on the whole thing.
