hey, what about this:
RELEASE: PR7380-16 June 2, 2016
CFTC Orders Bitcoin Exchange Bitfinex to Pay $75,000 for Offering Illegal Off-Exchange Financed Retail Commodity Transactions and Failing to Register as a Futures Commission Merchanthttp://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/pr7380-16Is Finex accepting US clients? That's dangerous.
We do accept US clients and have settled any alleged violations with the CFTC, made the changes required to become compliant and US customers can deposit fiat, trade on margin, and withdraw fiat same as before.
Don't mind me asking, but can you prove that you are "Director of Community & Product Dev. @Bitfinex.com" ?
Sure, how would you like me to go about that? You can look at my history and i think it's pretty clear that I am who I say I am. But i'll post a comment in

Acorrding to Fincen, you need to be a licensed MSB in each state from USA if you want to accept US clients;
This isn't entirely true, there are different ways you can go about it. For example, itBit doesn't have an MSB for every state but are able to accept US customers because they have a bank charter. As such we have addressed this issue a manner so that we remain compliant without going state by state getting MSB's.
