Are you a Stormpay victim and wish to shut down stormpay.com
It appears that stormpay.com is only licensed as a money transmitter in the state of Tennessee. Many states where stormpay.com appears to regularly conducts business as a money transmitter require a state license in that state for that to be a legal practice. In many States Unlicensed Money Transmitters are committing a possible Felony in that State if they conduct Unlicensed Money Transmitter business with that States consumers.
There are 19 States which have in place stiff criminal statues which include Felony counts against unlicensed money transfer agents with that states consumers. Stormpay victims from those states that step up and file a Unlicensed Money Transmitter agent complaint against stormpay.com with that States Financial Agency Dept. in my opinion helps stormpay victims overseas that are not able to do that.
Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia
On your bank transactions, stormpay money transfers show as
WWW STORMPAY.COM CLARKSVILLE TN
This action is not specifically for returning your lost assets from stormpay.com although many states include a Civil clause allowing the complaint victim to be awarded monetary damages. In my opinion, this action specifically targets the in my opinion fraudulent business practices by stormpay.com, ceo Steve C. Girsky and owner John R. McConnell Jr. and attempts to prevent them and future money transmitters from such in my opinion corrupt practices.

I would urge those filing Unlicensed Money Transmitter complaints to include the following:
http://data.middletennessee.bbb.org/...ml?bid=2146166
"On August 7, 2003, the Tennessee Securities Division of the Department of Commerce & Insurance issued an "Order to Cease and Desist" (file number 03-020) with TymGlobal, Inc., StormPay, Inc. and John R. McConnell, Jr.
The order states that TymGlobal and StormPay are under common ownership and/or control. TymGlobal operates an internet website which is registered to StormPay. On the internet website, respondents are operating a pyramid and/or Ponzi scheme promising large returns on investments for participating in the scheme. The order further states that TymGlobal has not registered any securities offerings with the Division pursuant to Tennessee Securities Act of 1980."
____________________________________________
In all cases of the Money Transmitter licensing application requirements for each and every State that I have reviewed, the applicants cannot have a problem nor a criminal background regarding anything related to Financial Securities and we know from the Tennessee Better Business Bureau public record that the Tennessee Financial Security and Commerce dept. issued a cease and desist ponzi/pyramid scheme finding against stormpay.com owner/president john r. mcconnell jr. in the past (2003). That is part of the Tennessee Better Business Bureau public record which that States/Countrys Banking and Finance agency can see online for themselves.
____________________________________________
Include this information also:
Federal US Law on this:
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 95 > § 1960
§ 1960. Prohibition of unlicensed money transmitting businesses
Release date: 2005-08-03
The Federal Statues include the Statute section A) which states:
A) is operated without an appropriate money transmitting license in a State where such operation is punishable as a misdemeanor or a felony under State law, whether or not the defendant knew that the operation was required to be licensed or that the operation was so punishable;
Whether or not the individuals (agencys or companys) KNEW that the operation was required to be licensed or that the operation was so punishable.
____________________________________________
Clearly, individuals (agencys or companys) stating WE DIDN'T realize or KNOW that occured is No Exception to the Federal and State Legal Statutes regarding Money Transmitters being required to be licensed in those specific States whose State Statutes include the Money Transmitters Act.
The Federal Statute on Unlicensed Money Transmitters also clearly supports individual States rights to uphold and enforce their own individual State Statutes regarding the Licensing of Money Transmitters in their specific State with any Money Transmitters doing business with any consumers of their State.
____________________________________________
Reviewing the Tennessee Money Transmitting License requirements:
In the Tennessee Code regulating the licensing of payment transmitters:
The following in the Tennessee statue requirement (d):
5-7-205. License qualifications.
(d) The applicant must demonstrate such experience, character, and general fitness as to command the confidence of the public and warrant the belief that the business to be operated thereunder will be operated lawfully and fairly.
[Acts 1994, ch. 715, § 1.]
It does not appear to me that stormpay.com even meets the minimal standards which are required by Tennessee Law for a Money Transmitter.
The Better Business Bureau in Tennesee appears to have stated there have been in the area of 19,000 complaints filed by the public against stormpay.com in 2006.
