By right, Reggie should have taken my advice.
If he did, today's Veritaseum would have a sustainable foothold in the industry.
I repeatedly advice to burn all his 98% token supply and convert the remaining tokens to be profit-sharing, like equities would.
And being a profit-sharing token, he has the liberty to register the token as securities and all these steps would free him from recent prosecution.
At the same time, Veritaseum may continue to tokenize assets and they would add further value to VERI holders, tremendously.

Too bad, Reggie's stubbornness and hubris caused his own downfall.
Too stubborn.
Too proud of himself.

My advice was not wrong.
In fact, that is what some ICO projects are doing.
Power Ledger is converting its tokens to become securities.
PayPie is also doing it similarly.
Many projects that are smart enough to see the future would realize this and would take similar route, but not Reggie.
