I have met Chris several times and I think he is a great guy. The Geek Group AKA The National Science Institute was a great educational resource in the community. One of the many things being taught there was a crypto-currency course - primarily bitcoin. They would buy and sell bitcoin with anyone who walked in the door. I do not believe they ever said no, that you have to wait until its worth more or less, so it was not for profit. They were trying to be a resource for people learning about bitcoin and virtually everything else. I believe that they were breaking the law in trading too much without some sort of license, but I personally don't believe there was any intent to do anything immoral or illegal. Other things going on there: 3d printing, high power lab, video production, computer hardware and software, electronics, quad-copters, auto-mechanics, CAD, robotics, and more... I wish I lived closer so I could have learned more there.
