Aaron, I applaud your principles and enjoy reading your somewhat condescending(because the bureaucratic idiots deserve it) yet still controlled responses. Incompetence drives me mad and I can't imagine how pissed off I'd be if I were in your shoes right now.

Does FaceCash have a legal team or are you doing this all on your own? I imagine you've researched every possible legal angle regarding the situation and you certainly don't need a law degree for that, but professionals could provide some additional insights, just from work experience (e.g. what happens in situations with other similar regulations and stupidity). Having practiced tax law in the past (three years in NY), I know that how certain things work in that field that you can't pick up from reading statutes or cases.

Given that you've gotten the exemption for doing business in other states, are you back to building out your business with the exception of in California? At some point, you've got to move on and do what's best for FaceCash even if that means not completely righting the wrong - unfortunately, incompetence and bureaucracy may be able to stand much longer than you can afford to fight.

I'm the legal team for now. I've talked to a number of lawyers, and most seem to think that they can't do much more than what I have been doing. It makes no sense to waste money on them in any case.

Since I only got the go-ahead to continue operating outside of CA as of October 13th, I'm starting to think about building things up again.
