My question is by owning shares in them should you have unlimited liability if the operator goes rogue ?

There seems to be some illusion that owning shares in one of them in particular is a different animal than all the rest when there is no actual difference being that the operator controls the day to day operations and the shareholders have very little power to change anything. What can you do when they effectively steal the company and cause massive losses to its customers Huh

Are you supposed to be treated like a leper because you invested in any of these companies which for all intents and purposes are exactly the same ?

If this is the case we are going to have to rethink shareholder agreements in the bitcoin world. Because if an operator issues a security which makes the buyer liable for massive losses that is unacceptable.

Nice one, trying to pass a doe for a hen.

People weren't after you for "being a shareholder". People were after you for being a partner of a partnership. Different story.

But MPEX is pretty much the same setup. An unregistered company offering shares which in fact will make you a partner and liable for all the company actions.

Thats the point I am making here.
