I notice your FinCen license only is good for Oregon...
Are all sales within the state?
Or do you conduct business outside/across state lines?
Hi Minerjones, you can feel free to call me on the phone if you like. We are in weekly contact with FinCen. 541-488-4312.
Bitcoin and this community have really changed over the years.
There have been too many sad stories in this space of people losing their funds to unscrupulous actors. Many examples right here in the collectables section, so now when a rogue newcomer shows up out of nowhere looking to be the custodian of 10's or 100's of thousands of USD in value we are a bit weary.
You can check his twitter account. We are friends.
I get it. Although I would point to the treatment of those who are not unscrupulous actors (this thread being a good example) as a reason why there are are so many scams in this section. Being honest comes with constant attacks from those who are not, and the unscrupulous actors and their alt accounts are now the majority as a result of chasing away the honest coin makers (Casascius, Lealana, now Bobby Lee). This trend continues to get worse, and the unscrupulous actors are spreading to once respected members as well as other sections of the forum. I only hope at some point the community stops thinking about how to make a quick buck off someone else, and starts thinking about what is the best way to take advantage of Bitcoin tech to create innovative products with genuine blockchain use cases.
Bobby is a very solid guy and genuine at heart. I trust him with anything. I read the history on the conversations and I am shocked that he was so mistreated. There is no need for such aggression.
I trust Bobby 100% plus 3.7%, I think that is the case for almost everyone here. I think the problems stemmed from a lack of communication regarding the shipping debacle as well as a lack of clarity in the relationship/responsibilities between the parties of BTCC, BTCC Mint, Bobby Lee, and Rogue Bitcoin. If those could be clearly spelled out at some point it would be a huge help.
You can check his twitter account as well. This is why I was shocked to hear the scammer comment from Minerjones then the MSB follow up. We have our butts covered very well with the regulatory bodies. He has also posted in this forum several times about us.
Thanks for the link. Here is an example of what we find confusing. i am sure it is all above board, but it is difficult to sort.
BTCC was sold to a Hong Kong entity in early 2018
https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-exchange-btcc-just-got-acquired/Bobby confirmed here on this thread that he is no longer CEO of BTCC.
Here is an article containing a quote from Bobby June of 2018
https://cryptoslate.com/btcc-ceo-bobby-lee-investors-in-china-are-still-trading-crypto-even-after-bitcoin-ban/"Bobby Lee, the CEO of BTCC, said at the Blockchain Open Forum that the ban on cryptocurrency"
While I assume there are reasonable explanations, and Bobby has tried to explain, an official statement from BTCC explaining the relationships between BTCC/BTCC Mint/ Bobby Lee/ Rogue Bitcoin seems obviously necessary.
