Curt Dalton
Curt Dalton (born 1 January 1974 in Beverly, Massachusetts) is an American entrepreneur, founder and CEO of Cannabis.Net. Curt Dalton founded Cannabis.net in the year 2016 and is one of the fastest-growing and sustainable markets due to the plant’s versatile medicinal uses, creative & cultural cache, and wide industrial application.[1] Cannabis’s medical value is well-known and recognised across the scientific community.[2][3]
Career
Curt Dalton completed his education from University of Chicago in the year 1996. As the cannabis industry is growing and interstate commerce in the market has not yet been unleashed since some states are slow to legalise, businesses that can facilitate these transactions will grow exponentially. Beyond the value that exact match domains can extract from the already thriving cannabis market, Dalton understands that high-traffic cannabis-related websites will be even more valuable in the near future as commercial laws become more lenient. Soon, multi-state operators will look to have their products be found or sold via high-traffic websites. Similar to how Amazon beat the margins of brick-and-mortar competitors, high-traffic cannabis-related websites, like Cannabis.net, are poised to disrupt the cannabis retail sales market as soon as the industry opens up. In addition to his entrepreneurial vision of incorporating a nationally-reaching cannabis-focused e-commerce arm to Cannabis.net, Dalton has aspirations to receive a license for the company as well. Of course, as a high-traffic website, Dalton can also offer digital real estate for advertisements and promotions in the cannabis industry, earning money while helping other entrepreneurs reach potential consumers.
Curt Dalton has run one of the largest cannabis websites online, Cannabis.net, for over six years. Cannabis.net is an industry leader in news, opinions, and insider talk featuring a full cannabis social media platform, blog, news desk, marijuana job board, cannabis events page, strain guide, two apps, and more! He is also a graduate of the University of Chicago, has been a digital entrepreneur for the past 20 years and an advocate for cannabis legalisation for the past 10 years. Curt is the founder and creator of Cy-Yo, a cycling yoga workout program, and in 2021 became an Amazon Delivery Service Partner.
Legal Issues
In 2019, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission issued an order filing and settling charges against Curt, requiring him to pay $200,000 for offering illegal off-exchange retail commodity transactions to U.S. and overseas customers while failing to be registered by the CFTC as required.
The transactions offered by Dalton consisted of binary options in foreign currencies, which were required to be traded on a designated contract market, an exempt board of trade, or a bona fide foreign board of trade. Instead, these contracts were traded on a binary options trading platform operated by an unregistered British Virgin Islands company located in Cyprus. In soliciting and accepting orders for such contracts, Dalton illegally operated as an unregistered futures commission merchant. Director of Enforcement James McDonald said, “The requirement that these contracts be offered by registered entities on a bona fide exchange is part of the CFTC’s comprehensive regulatory regime to protect the public from unscrupulous trading outfits. We remind customers that they should do their homework on any firm they intend to use to trade in our markets.” In addition to requiring payment of a $200,000 civil monetary penalty, the CFTC order prohibits Dalton from ever trading for others or soliciting and accepting funds from others for the purpose of trading any commodity interests.
