It's very simple. Check this document and you won't find Xapo on it BUT you will find Coinbase
http://banking.delaware.gov/pdfs/alllicensees.pdf

Also, the law requires any licensed company to publish this information on their website and office. Xapo doesn't have any such information. A financial licensed won't hide this thing but on the contrary, it will be VERY visible because it brings trust .

Now that is a good point, see? Like i'm from italy and if soemone here would say "hey Hamu can you check if this italian company got their license for financial trade?" i would do the same community service like you just did for xapo! +1 to you mayax and thank you for bringing this up.
Let's see what xapo will answer now...

Xapo will say nothing. What can they say? "Yes, we are making illegal money transfers?"
The whole BTC market is full of illegal exchangers like Xapo; only 4 exchangers are financial licensed. Even the big ones like Bitstamp, BTC China, BTC-e, Okcoin are illegals.

What is the impact of this illegal things for us the users? Would it made our information less confidential or would it made xapo easier to scam us?
If there were no significant impact, then i think it's fine, they deliver a good free service. Their help desk is lame, i know, i think that's why their support team hadn't post any reply regarding these posts.
If there were some negative impact coming with this illegality, and i mean the ones that directly affecting us, then, maybe it's better to make a thread in scam accusation and discuss it further there, they're designed for this.

Err... Anybody realize that the subject of these posts are slightly changed?

A regulated(licensed) exchanger is someone who invested a lot of money to get. Also, the gov knows about that company and it has a bond from it if something bad is happening.
A financial licensed company has yearly audit and all the information is public. The director is not a shell one, etc...

Once you are using an unlicensed company you should not complain on forums that you were scammed by X or Y exchanger.

What is the impact of this illegal things for us the users? What question is that?

Of course, it has a lot of impact if you encourage illegal financial companies to activate.

Iam using xapo over the EU. i dont know if its operating illigel in EU but its not working sudenly for many people from day to another not any longer.
So be aware dont balance to much on that, xapo cvould simply freeze your wallet with no reasn..
