News: SEC getting annoyed, KodakCoin ICO doesn’t launch, Samsung mining chips, crypto and your security clearance, an incompetent Ponzi

Matt Levine from Bloomberg quotes select portions with commentary. No, nobody who entered their email address has received their “Lite Paper” as yet. The ICO won’t happen for “several weeks” while the company sorts through the 40,000 “potential investors expressing an interest in the ICO,” which presumably means “people who asked for the lite paper.”
