Well I do I spoke to him on the phone. He risks jail time for funding terrorism, money laundering and that's without any tax issues. Nafario's get out of jail card is that everyone who wants to withdraw coins or shares will have to comply with AML regulations. He also said he will soon have a way for assets to pay dividends but not trade shares.

Can you, or one of the shareholders, clarify something for the rest of us?

"Risks jail time for funding terrorism, money laundering, etc" could mean that in the process of looking to legitimise GBLSE (and the fact that Nefario has openly posted that intention here implies that he knew GBLSE was not operating legitimately), his lawyer has become aware of how GBLSE was operating and said "holy fuck, close that shit down right now because you're violating AML/CTF laws all over the place and if the authorities find out what you've been doing you could go to jail - and make sure you get user information so that if this blows up at a later date you've covered your ass a bit".

Another option is that the authorities have become aware of GBLSE's activities and directed him to shut down GBLSE or face prosecution.

It's not clear from what's been posted by those who've had contact with Nefario whether the authorities have anything to do with this decision or whether it's a pre-emptive move which came about because when he finally consulted a lawyer about GBLSE, the reality of what he was doing and the risks he was taking finally sunk in for Nefario. Can you shed any light at all on this?

A third alternative would be that the voices have been asking him to sacrifice a goat (and also close down glbse and spend theymos' unholy money on collectible first edition pet rocks).

This is all "risk profile" stuff. If you have the stones, by all means, feel free to "invest" with these "people".

The more legitimate information an asset seller provides, the higher the premium they should be able to command. If it's SLKRD.ETF with nothing behind it but a nom de guerre of "FUCKDAPOLICE", well, good luck on that one.

This is grown up land and you have the right to make choices that I might call completely fucking stupid. (I will, watch me.)

I think that many people on here are actively seeking illegal investments rather than believing that the schemes offered here are in any way legitimate. Perhaps they believe that there's less risk of being caught if their illegal activity takes place online or perhaps they don't have the real world connections to participate in high return illegal activity, but people were perfectly happy to keep throwing BTC at pirate when it was believed he was using them to launder money for unsavoury clients. I have no doubt that if someone offered shares in a child porn distribution ring or a cocaine cartel on here there'd be users scrambling to get in on the action.

This theory of yours would probably hold a lot more water if it weren't that the armory (that thing designed by SR to sell weapons, explosives and such) weren't closed for...economic reasons. That's right: nobody wanted to buy them, nobody had them for sale, it wasn't a political problem at all.

You'd think weapons would be the thing to interest these imaginary "terrorists" the US gov't keeps yakking about to distract everyone from the fact they're eating food their parents wouldn't have fed to stray dogs.

Just a thought.

I would have never thought people would be less likely to shoot each other when they can trade instead Wink
