That was typical megalomaniac self-absorbed Keiser statement.

Does Kaiser really own the patent?
Obviously he does. But he's full of himself - which is fine when it's true, but when he's making statements like MaxCoin is a total success (just go read his #maxcoin tweets), when it has been anything but a success so far (except maybe for the inner circle). Can't stand the fakery.
he has it double-patented?

I guess those patents/applications are about trading system and virtual currency ...
but are they related to the cryptocurrencies. That's another case, afik patent lawyers
