I think the sale was a lure to get ppl to go to HL. just like it tries to mislead you into thinking the passthrough share is an actual share:
https://www.havelockinvestments.com/fund.php?symbol=AM1ASICMINER Full Shares (AM1)
Shares
Each 1 share of AM1 represents 1 share of ASICMINER maintained and verified by either Friedcat or any exchange ASICMINER is traded on, and has rights to all of the dividends of a whole ASICMINER share.
So let me get this straight, it's a full share but not a whole share?
THIS is why I don't like HL. They should just try to be clear - the share they sell you isn't an actual asicminer share but a PassThrough share. I don't like how they are trying to be the "official" version of where things should be traded.
Additionally, I'd say a few dubious accounts have been glorifying Havelock a little too much on this thread and others - or at least that is my gut check, just like how people buy positive reviews in the App store when releasing an App... I understand how some of those things can happen, I'd be more open to it if there wasn't such an obvious "bending the truth" halo around everything: "the Full Share", the (too) many folks trying to get you to join, the "Official" status from being acquired by a south american entity (making it secure?)...
On the other hand, there aren't that many options available, and nothing terrible has yet to happen.
You have no idea what you are talking about. "Dubious accounts" and "bending the truth". Check the facts and you might learn something before attempting to cause panic. The HL passthrough is run by
ThickAsThieves and every share on havelock is indeed an entire asicminer share however you look at it. In fact simply by emailing TAT you can transfer your havelock shares to direct 100% authentic FC issued shares (whatever you want to call it). As for the panama thing, A registered security exchange that has been operating since 2006 (if i remember correct) acquires a btc security exchange and you consider this a bad thing?
