감비아의 iCommerceRegistry: 우리가 옳았어


다시 2014 우리 (자유로이) advised to stay away from the iCommerceRegistry of the Gambia. 웹사이트는 아직 온라인 상태이지만 콘텐츠는 사라지고 이 빨간색 메시지만 나타납니다.: “현재 기술적인 업무로 인해 iCommerceRegistry는 현재 새로운 에이전트를 받아들일 수 없습니다.“. 8월 2016: Streber published an announcement from the Ministry of Justice of the Gambia confirming the illegitimate operation (this press release is a dead link 오늘).

The iCommerceRegistry adventure lasted 2 연령 (very short!). This is probably what happened (which is common across Africa):

  • maybe the start of operation was legit, but the Gambia (corrupt) bureaucrats decided to cut them off after a disagreement
  • any agreement with the Gambian government (either oral or written) cannot be enforced in any way, so the operation had to close
  • the Gambian government does not care about their reputation, nor about any foreign investors.

Do not think that the finger is pointed to Africa, many western jurisdictions are not a model of stability either (see list below).

As an entrepreneur: you really want to stay away from such jurisdictions and go to the stable ones with history and a good track record.

In that sense those jurisdictions are not recommended:

  • the Gambia
  • Liberia: the reputation is already so bad, but there is worse: 에 2016 its economic freedom index ranking is 143, even investing in the Comoros (ranked 141) or the Gambia (ranked 119) is less risky!
  • Iceland: bankrupt
  • 키프로스: bankrupt
  • Ukraine: invaded
  • 프랑스: full of wealth suckers.

If you are or have been a victim of any of those jurisdictions: feel free to share them with us, and we can help.
