Sounds like you've waited too much time here and are bitter. Take the tax write off and find something else to gripe about. This site is full of them. People are going to make their own decisions whether or not you lost 1,500!
'PabloAloz'? TO THE CONTRARY, YOU WERE NOT ROBBED!
You "Volunteered" your monies into this company's piggybank!
In accordance to their SHA Clause as reiterated in the following;
This safe harbor-(Scapegoat)-Cause is what clears these pinks from ever producing anything!
Under their protection of this cause, they can virtually say whatever they want and then close up shop without notice!
Pocketing free and clear the entire net worth of whatever monies the gullibles have relinquished from themselves into this company's piggybank, under the deliberately misleading verbatim.
With that said, this company has done nothing wrong!
your losses which since become their profits, (wink!), falls within the Safe Harbor Act, as disclosed above!
however, aside from awaiting till next year to claim your losses here on your taxes, there is a bright side!
you can consider this an expensive lesson! PAID in advance!
