Anybody know what happened to GunPal?

I tried to use them on Gun Broker 'cus I liked the idea, think I still had just a couple of bucks in the account.  My computer wouldn't let me in, says their security certificate has expired.  It's been like that for a couple of weeks now.  I don't have any idea who they really are.

My computer does that to a lot of sites. Spy Ware just being over protective. Mine offers the option to still view the site though.

Thanks for the tip.  I could too, but I've never seen that warning and didn't do it.

I certainly wouldn't be using the site for any financial transactions if the security certificate is expired or bogus, do an internet search on them, doesn't look like a service I'd be using any time from the complaints.

Just poked around a little on line, keep forgetting I can do that.  It was started to compete with PayPal, which will not accept any gun related transactions.  The domain is suspended, Federal LO is hinting at an investigation of a Ponzi scheme, but are careful not to name anyone.  CEO is Benjamin Cannon I think - forgot to write it down.  Local sheriff in CA arrested him for impersonating a police officer at a time he was clearly 100 miles away.  I got an email a while back acknowledging some problems with the service and asking me to be patient.  It said they had a deal with a bank but the bank pulled the rug from under them - of course that's their version.


I would like to think the guy is on the level, just having some problems, possibly for being pro-gun, which would make him a hero in my book.  I think I sold something on Gun Broker, got the money and then bought something, leaving me with a very small balance.  I'll probably get a letter from a bankruptcy lawyer some day.  Pity anyone who had serious money parked over there.
