Could it be that the rest of the company is over in Europe and they are just throwing out bullshit to help Micon and possibly themselves? If Micon has any pull what-so-ever at Seals anymore there is no way he would let that presser come out reading the way it did unless he was in on it.

Thoughts?
Themselves, yes. Micon, no.

The focus is more upon what they'll be doing (and not be doing) going forward, and you have to really look at it closely to pick out the parts indicating that he didn't hold the money. It wasn't even stated clearly enough to ever be used as a legal defense.

To me this looks like they were making it clear to the NGC and other law enforcement bodies reading it that:

1) They are paying people out, and this wasn't a scam

2) Everyone but Micon is closing shop immediately and won't be offering any more bitcoin gambling, nor will they be supporting Micon's new venture in any way

So that release mainly looks like something they put out to mitigate their own damages. Since they control sealswithclubs.eu (and always have, apparently), I don't even think Micon had a choice about what they wrote. Not saying he did or didn't approve the statement (I don't know), but I'm pretty sure they were adamant about getting those two important points out there.
