Mt. Gox has hurt Bitcoin and now it is starting to damage other crypto currencies. Today SageFit, TakeiCoin Dev, announced that TAK would have to be taken down. After contact with Takei's Lawyers, TAK Coin Dev released this statement.
"Friends it's with an extremely heavy heart I am posting this. I poured a lot of time and money into this venture, both a complete loss, and I'm very saddened to see the outcome.
Today we got an email from Mr. Brad Takei, indicating that George was not in fact interest, although they had been watching the project for quite some time. The recent news with Bitcoin was cited as a major contributor to this decision. That said they did in fact ask we remove all images and related products from the site. Brad then stated he would be open to listen to Mrs. Windsor's take on the situation.
This is where it gets good. The second issue, that happened only minutes before, is that we got a call from Mrs. Windsors lawyers. They decided that with recent BTC news and the current state of crypto currencies that it would not be good for Mrs. Windsors image to attach her name to such a venture.
TakeiCoin had 100% top of the line intentions and the last thing in the world we want is to bring any unwanted attention to someone's name, especially people who have worked so hard to do so much good in this world.
I take full responsibility for what has happened and my sincerest and deepest apologies to anyone who lost money. As I do not have the funds nor the ambition to go to court with such wonderful people, I have decided the best road is to call it a day and pull the plug.
I am currently in talks about passing the reigns to someone else and give the coin a re-branding."
TAK still has a great concept behind it. With innovative ways of raising funds for useful needs, I see no reason
why the coin will not be re-branded or re-vamped. For now I can only wish the best to the development team.
