I am in the same situatition.

I just used certified snail mail.  Safe enough for me.

If you are worried about intercepted e-mail then encrypt it.

Are UK citizens allowed to scan government issued photo identification card and send it to some hacks in Florida via  e-mail? Do you understand that your e-mail can be intercepted in countless servers it travels through all in plain text?
Did those hacks in Florida sent YOU a notarized, stamped and signed (and translated) letter, stating exactly for what and how your personal information will be used and how they guarantee that your personal data will be protected?

Nothing like that? Rally? Why not?

Thanks for the replies.
I'm just annoyed that there is so much work/costs required to claim than others such as LTC-MINING where everything was transferred to a new site and login set up etc.

Here are the [wtf] parts that I need some advice with:


So I need to hire a solicitor and provide my Tax details (NI number?) and identification to some nobody in the US?

Has anyone claimed who is a resident of the UK and can give me some advice in PM please?

Correct. I know that Belgium, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania and Portugal have and use ID cards like that.

Here are the step by step instructions for claiming your contracts and getting your Bitcoins and your 1099-MISC at the end of the year.

Further instructions can be found here:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--127437

1)  Download this document to your computer:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oz5y4beQ_V3Yk59ZPEAMpjELchfXZdyxYYzZotE9GsE/edit

2)  Edit the document and fill in all the missing information.

3)  Notes on the various missing information fields:

a.  [insert full name of affiant]  This must be your name or the name of an entity as you want it to appear on the 1099-MISC form.
b.  [insert full address of affiant]  This must your physical address or the physical address of the entity to receive the 1099-MISC.  Post office boxes or mail suites are not permitted.
c.  [insert tax identification number of affiant]  For the US this will be either your social security number or the EIN of the entity you are using to receive the 1099-MISC.
d.  [insert number of contracts]  Number of contracts you own.
e.  [insert bitcoin payment address]  This must be the Bitcoin payment address you associated with your claim to http://www.glbse.com/
f.  "Apostille (outside US only)" Delete this phrase from the document if you are in the US.
g.  [insert jurisdiction of Notary]  I deleted this line and left a blank for the notary to fill in the proper information when I got the form notarized.
h.  [name of affiant] Name used for the notarization of the document.

4)  Sign and date the form in the presence of a notary.

5)  Make a copy of the appropriate document and mail it with the affidavit.  For real persons: a photocopy or scanned PDF of government issued photo identification, or, for corporations the document number and issuing jurisdiction of the incorporating charter and proof of current good standing.

6)  Mail the notarized form, along with the copy of the document to the attorney for GIGAMINING.  I sent mine so that a signature is required by the law firm and the signature is returned to me.  This is so I can prove they got the information and signed for it.  Whether you do that or not is up to you.  The address is:

Law Office of Carlos M Fleites P A
ATTN: Carlos M Fleites and Quentin A. Page

I'm still hoping for a e-signature solution, all this translate, sign, notarize, translate, legalize, apostle hassle is crazy, time and money consuming task....  

There is a European Union Directive taking care of the Digital Signatures and the Law.

... no need of scanned documents and no security risk of ID theft

Not at this time.


This is not a joke. Many people have completed the process and will be paid on Monday's again going forward.


The most important announcements are here -> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--127437

Is there a deadline on the claims process?

I haven't actually done anything about this yet, because I was hoping it was one big joke (the amount of things required to claim back investment).

Is there anyone that's helping people do this, checklist, advice etc?

Perfect, thanks.

Got the email.  Followed the link and set the password on the account.  Everything looks to be in order.  I can't wait until Monday to get all my BTC - a lot have piled up!

Hi GoWest,

Either is fine. Those who are more concerned with privacy have mailed in their documents. It is a personal preference and up to you.

Have a good weekend,
James

Instead of sending another email to Quentin, maybe I can get the answer here.  Is it alright just to scan and email all of the required documents, or do hard copies have to be mailed?

Good to hear. We'll give everyone the weekend to review their accounts and payments will be sent on Monday.

Received my account e-mail and completed set-up; thanks!  Everything looks in order...

To all Gigaminers:

I have received the first verified list of claimants. I will be putting all other work aside today to get these accounts setup with all of the pending payments for them to review. This also means that once payments go out on Monday, they will also be receiving a link to view the Teramining contract with instructions for how to upgrade to the ASIC offering.

On another note, Quentin has re-double checked that anyone who has requested information from him has received a response. If you have not, please email me and I'll make sure you do.

I would also like to thank everyone who has taken the time to submit their info and who have been waiting patiently for this day to arrive. I am super excited to start making payments and to start discussing the Teramining offering with those who will now have first crack at either the free or paid upgrade.

Best,
James

If you understand the need to be legal, there should be nothing else to understand. It is my responsibility to make payments now. This responsibility was thrust on me by GLBSE, without warning. Then we were left for two months to wonder what was going on.

The lawyers are involved to make sure things are done correctly.


Quentin is the firm's SME (subject matter expert) in business and contract law. Carlos is the lead and licensed lawyer for criminal defense.

There are few things in this mess that make me wonder:

Why is James making this so difficult to his bondholders? I understand his need to "go legal". But if he was selling illegal bonds earlier, how will this legal paperwork make those bonds legal now? He only makes many people angry, and angry people are more likely to sue him for his earlier "crimes".

And then there is this lawyer of his. Many people have said that they haven't found any information about him. I only tried to google his email address, [email protected]. Only links were to this forum. What kind of lawyer doesn't have his email address anywhere else in the World Wide Web? And when asked about this mystery lawyer, we get a link to some Carlos's law firm, that doesn't list any Quentin as an employee.

To all Gigaminers,

If you sent me an email over the weekend, I have answered it. As for Quentin, he has other clients and has, from what I was briefly told, been busy filling in for other attorneys in the office while they were away. I'm hoping to speak with him today to get an updated timeline for the verified claims lists and terms of service for the VPS site.

If you have any questions regarding the attorneys, you can always call their office at (305) 672-8434 as is listed on their website. All of this information has already been posted along with Carlos' bar association number which I've linked below for those who many have missed the other posts containing the information.
