And because it would mean that the government doofuses can't sue the people with the deepest pockets, and can't use it to bolster policy positions, and it's political suicide to start attacking the primary sources of problems. It's easier to call everyone a victim and lose no votes and appear compassionate, than it is to place blame where it belongs, lose some votes, and get attacked as "mean-spirited" by the opposition. Censorship and gun control sound like risky schemes to me.

Preliminary Outline of a Proposed Micromint Specification
by Zulfikar Ramzan 18 Sep '00

18 Sep '00

Hi, Based on conversations and ideas due to Ron Rivest and Adi Shamir, I've prepared a manuscript proposing some of the parameter and algorithm choices for an actual implementation of their Micromint scheme. The manuscript is still more of a preliminary design spec as many issues associated with a Micromint implementation are not addressed (though a good number of the issues are). The manuscript was prepared with the sponsorship of the Internet Bearer Underwriting Corporation (http://www.ibuc.com) It is available at: http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~zulfikar/papers/mm-spec-outline.pdf and a pointer to it can be found from: http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~zulfikar/MyResearch/homepage.html Comments and criticisms are welcome.

Because they are not licensed SWEs they would not be able to get their obj modules signed to allow execution on legal HW? Illegal HW would be detected and prosecutable? An ineffective but burdensome SW Eng licensing bureaucracy will probably be set up that will limit or control the access of some developers to certain contracts or projects especially anything purchased using public funds or "affecting the safety of the public".

EDGAR Online's SECrets Newsletter Editor: Timothy Middleton, EDGAR Online Analyst mailto:editor@edgar-online.com ***INSIDE THIS ISSUE NEW AND NOTEWORTHY: SEC Warns on Pre-IPO Fraud QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Schedule 13D ON THE INSIDE: TCF Financial Insiders are Sellers COMPANIES MENTIONED IN THIS ISSUE PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS ISSUE /----------ADVERTISEMENT--------------------------------\ Starved for food for thought? The free Business 2.0 Daily Insight newsletter delivers easily digestible business insights. Subscribe today at http://live.doubleclick.net/business2-0/Biz20_sec.html \-------------------------------------------------------/ ---------------------------------------- *** NEW AND NOTEWORTHY *** ---------------------------------------- SEC Warns on 'Pre - IPO' Fraud Federal regulators have detected an increase in fraudulent securities offerings online and are warning investors to be careful of online securities sales. Regulators are also warning investors to be wary of ``pre-IPO'' stock offerings - i.e. opportunities for investors to get a "jump" on the market before the firms go public. The SEC has recently charged several offending companies with fraud. On Thursday, the SEC said it had reached a settlement with Austin, Texas-based 1stBuy.com Inc., a company that operates an Internet retail site. Roger D. Pringle, the company's founder and chief financial officer, neither admitted nor denied wrongdoing in agreeing to the settlement of the SEC's allegations, but agreed to pay a $25,000 fine. Regulators say 1stBuy.com raised $3.8 million from 1,200 investors nationwide by making false and misleading statements about an IPO, and by referring to the offering as a ``pre-IPO.'' According to the Associate Press, it was the fourth such action by the SEC recently. Since March, the SEC has alleged that three Internet companies, New World Web Vision.com, Y2K Highway Inc. and Stadtt Media LLC, committed securities fraud by making false claims about IPOs. All three cases are pending in federal court. ---------------------------------------- *** QUESTION OF THE WEEK*** ---------------------------------------- QUESTION: What is a Schedule 13D? ANSWER: Schedule 13D is an SEC document that must be filed by any person or entity acquiring direct or beneficial ownership of at least 5% of any class of a company's outstanding shares. The purchaser must file Schedule 13D within 10 days of reaching the 5% ownership threshold, and all subsequent trades must be stated promptly on an "amended" 13D. The purchaser must also indicate their intention of ownership - i.e. passive investment or takeover attempt. The purchaser must also file a 13D with the company itself, and with the stock exchange on which the shares are listed. ---------------------------------------- ***ON THE INSIDE*** ---------------------------------------- TCF Financial Insiders are Sellers Regional banks have defied a broader rally this year in the financial services sector. While the financial services sector is ahead 7.7% through July, according to Standard & Poor's, the average regional bank stock was down 3.3%. Not so shares of TCF Financial Corp (TCB). They are up 57% this year, not including dividends paid in February, May and August. The holding company for TCF National Bank and TCF National Bank Colorado, which operates in five upper Midwest states, likewise hiked its quarterly payout during the period to 21.3 cents a share, from 18.8 cents. Insiders have shown prescience in the past, selling into strength in their company's stock just ahead of sometimes-steep declines. Lately, they've been selling again. In the last two months, five of them have filed Form 144s with the SEC that indicate the sale of more than 200,000 shares, according to Thomson Financial/First Call. Most recently William A. Cooper, chief executive, reported on Aug. 23 selling 90,000 shares for $32 apiece, or nearly $2.9 million http://www.edgar-online.com/auth/doctrans/default.asp?doc=B-117264 TCF has prospered in part because it has managed to boost deposits significantly. In general, says James F. Catudal, manager of Fidelity Select Financial Services Fund, (FIDSX): "Regional banks are right now funding loan growth with purchased money. They're not able to attract low-cost deposits from customers anymore." That's exactly what TCF has managed to do, however. On Sept. 9, it announced that its network of branches in supermarkets had topped $1 billion in deposits, or nearly 10% of the bank's total. TCF is the fourth-largest operator of bank branches in supermarkets, with 212 of them. In the Chicago area, TCF claims to have the second-highest number of non-interest bearing retail checking accounts. Thomson's Paul Elliott says Cooper "last sold shares in November of last year, ahead of a 35% decline" in the company's stock. Another prominent seller has been Timothy P. Bailey, president of the company's Wisconsin operations. He filed Form 144 on July 26 http://www.edgar-online.com/auth/doctrans/default.asp?doc=B-113165 reporting the sale of 4,000 shares for $29.88 per share, or about $119,500. A spokeswoman for TFC said, "We do not comment on insider selling transactions." /----------ADVERTISEMENT------------------------------------\ DON'T MISS OUT ON YOUR CHANCE TO WIN AN IBM THINKPAD 600X Register now for any of ITworld.com's weekly IT email newsletters, and enter our sweepstakes for your chance to win a powerful new IBM ThinkPad 600x.

Obviously, Doug Barnes >has pointed this out more than once or twice here and elsewhere. The indirect problem with Mondex is that while the card-to-card level transactions are theoretically less traceable than a typical online validation, they (the cards themselves) still store at least 10 previous transaction records including full card id. Additionally, every programmer of Mondex interface devices and terminals (including myself, at one time) gets ordered by at least one involved party (the bank, the terminal manufacturer, the terminal financier, ect.) to include full audit trail generation from card-chip and any downloaded card-card transaction histories for uploading as part of nightly settlement. (Which is why I stopped supporting Mondex...) This defeats the otherwise good anonymity possible with Mondex.
