I paid for a year's worth of gold in advance and my account was banned with 10 months of service remaining. I can't get a response from anyone explaining what happened or how I can get a refund for the unused service. Never giving

In many places, a minor cannot enter into a binding contract nor own/control property of significant value. So that would leave me wary of entering into an agreement with a minor where I was to give them a lot of money and they might b

You have two different things happening here: 1. Normal startup legal issues (corporate form, employment law, tax, funding, IP, etc) 2. Subject matter legal issues. The subject matter you've chosen (collections) is a highly regulated a

Yeah, if dude thinks going from CA to NY is going to increase his autonomy or decrease his tax burden, he's got a painful lesson coming. There are so many things that can be done to address this sort of thing - too bad he's probably "savi

I will never understand why someone would bother with a $3/month "unlimited" backup service. Obviously, there's no way a service provider could provide any sort of long-term robust service at that price point. So why bother? I guess you cou

The problem is people don't want to pay a storage fee for leaving value on an exchange; they think they're getting ripped off because they're not earning interest like they would at a bank engaged in fractional reserve banking. Since the ex
