I signed a lease about 1.5 months ago to come here on vacation with my family, and I wasn't charged with any crime.

As a bitcoin advocate for the past few years, I hope to continue to spread the technology of cryptocurrency wherever my family and I end up. The promise of an alternative the US dollar is too tempting not to continue it's exploration.

Personally I don't feel that Antigua has been treated fairly by the USA. I think that bitcoin could one day offer an alternative to the US dollar, and that bitcoin gambling companies could bring the technology to the island while creating local jobs.

I appreciate the response, even if it phrased negatively.

I am not a lawyer, but can speculate the licencing requirements for a bitcoin poker site that does no business outside of the bitcoin protocol may be different from traditional fiat-based online gambling sites.

Some don't consider bitcoin money, and some do. The protocol is outside all other banking systems, operating in it's own network. I have a team working hard to determine the course of action from here regarding license requirements. It is truly uncharted territory.

On the subject of "fighting to clear my name," I have not been charged with any crime, and I wasn't operating the site. I was in charge of marketing and affiliate duties at SealsWithClubs. I stand firm on my history, if you investigate what users had to say about SealsWithClubs it is in general a glowing review with thanks for operating ethically in what have always been murky waters. Many are calling for our return to once again provide them with proper bitcoin poker.

While I was not selected at random I do not feel I have done anything wrong. It is also important to understand I was not charged with a crime and never have been charged with a crime in my 36 years. I am a family man first and foremost and try very hard to spend each day with my 2 year old daughter and wife. I hope to prove to you that I am not "America's trash," but a forward-thinking businessman looking to pioneer a new industry and use profits for social good. I think a "Bitcoin silicon valley" is possible for Antigua, which would bring many jobs and spread the bitcoin technology to local businesses. I want to make a positive impact on my surroundings, wherever I may be at the time.
