DAMN man, this is very shitty to hear. Hopefully you were able to enjoy your time in Puerto Rico outside of the conference. I’d be getting my money back as well, very shady business it sounds like. I’m glad I didn’t fork up all that cash, I knew it was massively overpriced. I am still going to PR in a few weeks, but this will be purely for leisure.
Perhaps Dan Larimer’s talk was canceled due to the break off between Eos/Block.one & Brock Pierce. It happened less than a week ago I believe. That may have left them with no reason to be in PR. Still no excuse for the sudden & dramatic changes. What a shame.
There is a Facebook group I am in that has some legitimate info on all of the tax incentives if Puerto Rico. It is a closed group, but I can add you if needed. Or you may just be able to search for “Act 20 / 22 Puerto Rico Tax Incentive Forum”.
I'm glad you didn't pay for the conference ... it wasn't worth it at all ... the information they gave you could have just known in any case. Nothing special at all with regards to cryptos and PR specifically.
There was still EOS people there ... I wish I spoke to some of them to ask them why Dan Larimer didn't speak, but the few SteemIt I did speak with mentioned that some kind of internal conflict with conference might have gotten him axed.
And yes, I'd be very much interested in joining that FB group. Let me know how I should best connect with you off from here. I forget ... isn't there a private Steem Chat that I can privately message you stuff? Remind me again :)
