I see strong FUD here. Common please try harder and this time include CIA Tongue

I thought FBI has nothing to do with intellectual property. I hope the fud will have some effect so that I can buy more.

Actually this would not fly on any country on earth but the US where pure ideas are given patents and intellectual property rights.

This seems a little improbable, this would be a civil suit at best. The FBI would be waaaay more interested in the actual theft itself, not this. I honestly don't believe the FBI is all that interested with this at the moment, but I think that will change. The hard fork kinda negates this whole debacle, which is why I wonder why we went through all of this.

First an idea can't be patented and second if he didn't published something to back his claims, that's worthless. That's just a blatant attempt to win free money by procedurity.

I agree with that. That guy should publish his evidence and show us that he is the inventor of the Etheruem.

This article is absurd.

Even if it had any merit...
It would require a multi-million $$$ civil court action for IP infringement...
Unfortunately, talking about building stuff in 2013 does not give you any legal rights.

The FUD is strong in this one.
Good luck suing math err... ETH.

Best answer and hilarious. Sue math for sure. At the end of the day ETH will be just fine, I believe it is unaffected by the numerous threats and this message board.

Another delusional one...

You started your account 5 days ago, nice work.

Oh ETH is full of drama. No other coin might have got in the news every week for all the wrong reasons.

FBI sneaking in would be the last thing it wants!!

Complain to FBI is one thing, FBI will open investigation is another thing. They are quite distance. I don't think FBI will handle this, period.

So what does that say about cointelegraph? That they are also instrumental about spreading the FUD and could be biased against Ethereum? I find that unbelievable because are the press. They should be unbiased and facts based.

What, like the BBC? All media have their own agenda. If it is true, i will believe your statment bbc.reporter, when i read about the FBI investigation into ethereum in vitalik's bitcoinmagazine. After all, the BBC did a real good job of reporting how it was complicit in rampant systemic child sex abuse over decades and decades.

One thing is for sure, ethereum has and continues to destroyed investor confidence in crypto-currency.

But if this FUD and Jared Mimms is just trying to scare everyone then why did cointelegraph print story? We might see the bottom of this soon.

I do not buy this. The FBI is not the lead agency in the United States to deal with this

If there is a valid patent and there is infringement then civil litigation for patent infringement would be the likely result not an FBI investigation.

This right here. Who else did he call upon, the Fantastic Four?

If this is untrue then why did Cointelegraph print this? Maybe they have the corresponding documents to the claim of Jared Mimms. Who is the representative of Cointelegraph in Bitcointalk? Maybe we could ask him to produce the copy of the documents.

If it isn't true then I guess, someone who want to buy cheaper ETH.

ETH can now considered huge, i don't even think a FUD like this can drag its value down to $5. The DAO hack didn't even get them down to $10.
