3) Invictus has never run a block producing node on the BitShares network (Ripple runs their own nodes)

But individuals have run such nodes (delegates)... does it mean the delegates are a potential target of them?

I do not believe that any individual delegate is at risk because no individual delegate has any control on their own and they were all "elected", etc.   

I think it only matters to us because we are the producers of the software.   This is an example of where doing too much under one company is a problem, but spreading the tasks among 100's of people becomes ok because the tasks individually are completely legal.

The init* delegates have been run by DACSunLimited IIRC..
Full nodes are not of interest


Anyway, thanks for the clarification :)

I just wanted to post the following update:

1) I have not received any communication of any form from any government agency.
2) Invictus never solicited fiat from any individual  (no reason for FinCEN to get involved)
3) Invictus has never run a block producing node on the BitShares network (Ripple runs their own nodes)

In the event that Invictus is fined it will not impact the future of BitShares, it will only impact my own personal financial situation.   I suspect that this community would have my back and we will all move past it. 

There is nothing to fear except fear itself.
