did burnside yet sold his share? or he escaped when he froze btct?
both burnside and theswede should have divested ALL of their shares.
if they didn't even check the ID of the people listing on the exchange nor check for proof that there was actually an ASIC being designed, then they could both be charged with being complicit in securities fraud.
we may never know if this ever gets prosecuted in a criminal court but there would certainly be grounds for civil proceedings if TheSwede and Burnside made money from trading this stock and did nothing to alert other investors or authorities as soon as they became aware of possible fraud.
IMO this is a likely scam and/or failed business and others like it (*cough* *cough* ActiveMining) are the most likely reasons why BTCT shut down.
I think other exchanges like Havelock and Cryptostocks are dicing with death for continuing this charade if they haven't even been following basic KYC and Due Diligence guidelines.
Now like every investor here.. I still don't know whether this is an outright SCAM or a horribly failed business and frankly I wouldn't be surprised if it was either or both of those. But if it does in fact turn out to be a SCAM.. im expecting mr Fabreeze and co to end up in a similar situation to Mr Trendon Shavers except not only having to deal with US authorities but also the full weight of Chinese authorities.
lets hope Sammy boy finishes soldering chips onto 50TH of boards soon lol... he may have wads of Investor money but the only thing that can save his ass now is raw TH.
