What are the qualifications of the person running it? Who is running it? Where is it based? On the about me page it says the following:
It's run by a doctorate-level MIT professor who has also been with bitcoin pretty much since the start.
You can find him on the forum under the name Nefario, he's one of the moderators.
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3046Thanks for the info. I'm sure he is a very smart person, but what are his experiences in running an exchange? I would guess none, based on the website. I would like to hear his answers to some of my questions especially regarding the handling of customer funds.
