Hey Intersango guys! Could you please start answering some of the questions asked in: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=84042.0
You're risking legal action being taken against you by keeping silent. This will be bad both for you and for your customers, as legal costs will have to be paid. The way Intersango has been handling this whole issue is embarrassing to say the very least.

Related, when bitcoinica and you guys get sued does intersango risk being shut down or having their bank accounts frozen? How separated is intersango from bitcoinica? I have funds in both places so I would really like to know.

Thanks

Well, as far as I understand (I'm no expert in this area, so take this with a big grain of salt) The Intersango Guys and Bitcoinica are two separate entities. This means that if Bitcoinica goes down under, they have no responsibilities. However, with the way they are handling this situation, they can be charged with criminal offenses. In this case, they personally are _not_ protected by being two separate entities. How this will affect their other company, Intersango in this case, remains to be seen.
