and please read the rest of the conversation... i don't know how much more transparent we can be about this topic... believe it or not, running an exchange is a serious business.  Crypto is cutting edge and there are a lot of grey space in regards to what is legal or not.  Most of that space carries a stiff fine and possible jail sentence (refer to bitinstant, silkroad, satoshidice).  When our legal counsel, perkinscoie, who is a major firm in the crypto space, advise us not to do something.  We listen.  The FUD in here doesn't seem to grasp that concept.
