NOTE: THIS MAY BE UPDATED OR CHANGED AS I DEVELOP A BETTER PICTURE OF OWNERSHIP OF THESE COMPANIES, UPDATES WILL BE LABELED AS SUCH.
Havelock Investments was an early platform in the cryptocurrency space that allowed for a variety of companies to fundraise.
HAVELOCK INVESTMENTS MINING FUND — Havelock Investments Mining Fund was Havelock’s fund investing in Bitcoin mining.
KORB AND CO. INVESTMENTS MINING FUND — This is another fund that was meant for purchasing Bitcoin mining rigs. You can find the most recent copy of their website here.
SATOSHI DICE — Satoshi Dice was a game started by Eric Voorhees ( archive). Satoshi Dice was a gambling service where you could send a Bitcoin transaction to a specified address and could potentially receive significantly more in response. Eric Voorhees was charged with offering unregistered securities for these sales of ownership in SatoshiDICE and FeedZeBirds. ( archive)
CRYPTO CAPITAL CORP — Crypto Capital Corp is a payment processor, infamously used by Bitfinex, and with the principals under US indictment. Crypto Capital claimed that a significant portion of their assets are being held in Poland, Bitfinex’s lawyers claim to not believe this.

They are linked to Nessie (formerly at nessie.io ( archive), now redirecting to crypto.eu) and MoneyPot ( archive from when MonsterByte owned it) (domain now sold). I think it is valuable to remember that Stuart Hoegner ( archive), the General Counsel for Bitfinex and Tether, is a “lead attorney to major bitcoin and altcoin poker brands”. It is unknown whether or not BitcoinRush/CasinoBitco.in/Monster Byte is among them.
