I am just disapointed that its going to be an IPO... thought it would be different this time.....

After all the hate talk of IPO's that TPTHwar has released I guess he will finally become as culpable as the rest.

Not that i see much wrong in him needing investment money, but he has been holding us all accountable to a higher standard that he now is willing to overlook.

Remind me to come take a look 1 year after its released.

I would not be concerned about TPTB_need_war outsourcing his ICO/IPO to avoid legal and / or moral liability. I would be concerned about FinCEN launching a wave of enforcement and its impact on the alt-coin market given that IPO/ICO is a favorite way of raising investment money in the alt-coin market, Here is an article on the subject by Arnold & Porter LLP http://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=4dea5c6a-110a-4949-a5dd-a82c034210b1

The article refers to the FinCEN guidance I quoted above in this thread and some further guidance from FinCEN. I find the

Quote

Analysis of Past FinCEN Enforcement Waves

section particularly relevant to alt-coin speculators and investors. This is the elephant in the room that very few people in the alt-coin market are willing to talk about for obvious reasons.

These are very valid points.

Just like the post you have replied is valid as well. It is hard to understand that TPTB_need_war has been the most vocal cyber-warrior against ICOs on this forum, and then suddenly he realize, whoops, forget about it ... now really I need to make an ICO too. Welcome to the messy Operation of TPTB_need_war.
