Title: NEO and BEE talk (unmoderated)
Post by: Peter Lambert on April 02, 2014, 08:57:32 AM
The original thread has been locked, and the other thread is a whitewashed load of crap, so let's continue the discussion here.

Danny's latest statement:

Quote
So this thread has gotten out of hand and will be locked following this post.

My recent silence has been forced due to the actions of two people, one of which has been posting on here thinking they know me and have the inside knowledge about my life which is largely false and they really should obtain some better sources, however those posts had much wider ramifications than they probably assumed they would have, so I hold them partially responsible for what has occurred since their posts.

I left Cyprus on a short term temporary basis for reasons that will follow, I haven't shipped anything from Cyprus and I certainly haven't run away with company or peoples money or bitcoins. Following those posts on the forum, I received direct threats targeted directly at my daughter, they have been reported to the relevant authorities, Once those threats were made I took the advice to remain outside of Cyprus and remove contact with anyone that could be responsible for the threats, this included not speaking with members of staff that could be responsible.

My reasons for leaving was to raise additional capital for the business through the sale of my equity as we had run out of liquidity, I had exhausted all of my own liquidity too through directors loans to the company. Every single Bitcoin raised and spent is accounted for, any claims of embezzlement are nothing but empty claims with no foundation. There were coins lost in BitFunder/WeExchange which I personally covered and assumed that debt of 1420BTC to ensure the company could continue unaffected, UKYO also owes me an additional 260BTC separately from the 1420BTC. I also have 369.8BTC of my own Bitcoin stuck with MtGox that would have been given to the company to settle all creditors and continue operations whilst more capital was raised. Having funds on MtGox was a personal risk that I assumed and no company funds were ever held on there.

My original plan was to raise more capital to allow the company to achieve its potential through the sale of some of my equity. The moment threats were made towards my daughter this plan changed and I decided I would sell all of my equity, allowing the new owner to appoint a new CEO.

The whole process will be completed and handled through an agency that specializes in these matters, once the final details are completed, the agency details will be made available to interested parties who wish to purchase 100% of my equity in LMB Subsidiaries Ltd thus taking full control of all subsidiaries. I shall also be providing the new owner full rights over the Bitcoin debts currently owed by BitFunder/WeExchange as I know people are working on a solution to recovering those debts for everyone that has funds stuck there. This process will also write off all directors loans I have made to the company and I shall not receive any financial compensation through this sale process.

My biggest mistake was using BitFunder/WeExchange during the initial stages of fund raising, had I not had to cover those losses my pockets would have been deep enough to cover all creditors and OPEX for the foreseeable future allowing the company to achieve a positive cash flow during that period, the choice was one made by myself and for that I am responsible for that decision. I am working towards having this entire process completed within a short period of time to enable the business to recover, to ensure that those invested do not lose out following this process.

So, my questions still remain:

Are we going to get financial statements?
Please explain what exactly happened with the unsold shares?

Those are very valid questions, but since danny is stepping down we probably won't be getting an answer on this forum. Why don't you contact NeoBee?

The gullibility and vengefulness of NeoBee playvestors is astounding.  After blaming MPEx for all that's wrong with their world, they turn their rage on "teh guy threatened mah daughter!"  In short, everyone but the guy who took their coin.

@mikemikemike:  The threats to children, little girls even, are as real as the bank you put your money in.  Thanks for shitting up my bitcoin.

fuck-that. everyone with two brain-cells knew neobee wasn't going to last. if you lost money in it thats your fault. This isn't about danny, nor getting people's money back, its about paying dues towards people who think they can threaten someones family, even over the internet.

honestly, all you, let still complain to danny, OMG HE LOST OUR MONEY, your idiots. all the signs were on the walls. if you lost your money leave now and take it as a learning curve

Lamb, im happy you lost money. you deserve it. and shitting up your bitcoin? your doing that yourself

Danny, please leak the details somehow.

thanks,

^"Leak the details somehow"?  Since when is it illegal to disclose the names of people threatening your child?  Especially if those people are real?  This is such shit-tear logic.  You honestly believe that your troubles began with some d00d on the intertubes threatening children?  How old are you?

Post by: NotoriousBIT on April 02, 2014, 12:01:34 PM
Just some quick thoughts on this.  I'll assume that the reason given for vacating the CEO position is true.

I hope it doesn't sound insensitive, but is it normal procedure to lock down trading because of personal matters like this?  Are these two separate issues?  We still haven't heard about the "suspicious trading" and it seems like there has to be a connection to the CEO stepping down, right?

As for the money, am I reading it right that the company is basically bankrupt minus the money owed to them?  I know others will have a field day over someone leaving money on an exchange, but I'm not too upset about it.  I just thought there had to be more money out there.  I'm kind of surprised that the money ran out this quick.

If someone wants to come in and buy the assets, will shareholders be getting paid back?  When will trading be open again?


Anyway, best of luck to everyone involved.  Hope for the best, prepare for the worst!

Hey, think about it like a shark, erm, sorry I mean an investor.
The whole thing is set up, It's just that there's money missing.
The infrastructure is there.
You know how much money is required for you to become the owner.

Cyprus has NO regulations when it comes to Bitcoin.
The Cyprus University accepts payments in Bitcoins for God's sake.

I think this might be an opportunity for someone with a bit of cash to invest or maybe a group of people willing to invest and take over.

Just my thoughts on the subject.

Somalia is probably not too heavily regulated either ::)

Anyhow, I'm sure any university in any country can start accepting bitcoin -- I'm not aware of any regulations prohibiting that.  Institutions not being [partially] funded by the state are also free to accept cattle and poetry in lieu of dollars, or even offer academic scholarships & just give it away.  Anyhow, why would anyone want to pay money for this fiasco?  Danny hasn't just turned Neo into a lolcow, but sprayed the rest of us with his bullshit.

Bro, do you have any personal issues with Danny?
Because if you do it has nothing to do with my thoughts on the subject.

And please do not compare Somalia with Cyprus.
Both have their benefits yet both have their flaws.

That being said, IF you invested in this and were wise about it then you would think about it differently.
I don't know, maybe it's because I haven't invested in this that I see things from a different (or proper) point of view.

To some it's a loss if they choose to see it that way.
To some it's an opportunity to jump on board and be the boss.

I am guessing you belong to the first group.

Please don't start an argument with me, I am not here nor to defend or fight anyone.

I am just saying what I see here.
And what I see is an opportunity to grab something for cheap.

EDIT: Why don't you ask Danny to provide you with all financial statements to see if it's a good investment to take over or not.
I believe it is the legal procedure to follow if you are about to invest in something.

The only thing they mentioned a timeframe on are the dividends. Which should've been issued 2 days ago at midnight.

Re. your edit:  A financial statement has been promised and never issued.

The irony being that all this bickering, hateful dialogue and vitriolic 'debate' probably does as much to tarnish the image of bitcoin/bitcoiners. People see threads like the other NEOBEE thread and think "wow, why would I want to get involved in a community like that?". Never mind the actual content of the thread, the tone and hostility is effective enough at turning people off bitcoin.

I would be very interested to see some expenditure figures or the books of LMB Holdings to see where all the invested coin actually went. Realistically I doubt I will see any of my investment back but the optimist in me is still hopeful that something can be rescued from the ashes of this situation.

I'm sadder for the blow this may do to bitcoin adaptation by the masses and the advancement of user friendly bitcoin systems than I am for my own losses.

I won't enter into whether he's bullshitting (scamming) or not, but one thing is clear: NEO is dead. No liquidity (for whatever reasons) and the CEO jumping ship.

I think I must have a guardian angel somewhere as I managed to get out of it just an hour before trading halted for a 20% loss.

There needs to be pressure on Danny to release financial information.  Why are they having money issues a month after opening?  They raised a considerable amount of funds and the price of BTC grew considerably in that time, as well.  There is absolutely no reason why they should be having liquidity issues at this point in the game unless there was a gross mismanagement of funds or wrong doing. 

His explanation is unacceptable.

NeoBee's been on my radar, but I had them pegged as viable. Sorry to read that that's probably not the case.

The CEO mentioned today that they had 1420 btc in bitfunder/weexchnge that he said he personally covered for neebee sofar and danny himself had another 260 btc in bitfunder/weexchange and like we all know sofar people have only got back 6.175% of there weexchange balance and as cryptocyprus also said before that he should be the one that got his funds after everyone else from weexchange i guess he's still missing those 1680 btc until ukyo is able to pay everyone back.

One friend of mine has interesting point of view on this. I questioned : How is possible to spend so many millions in one month without any result?

he answered : You know, it doesn't need to be actually spend, it could be effectively laundered away. Easy with Bitcoin.

sorry mate... innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

until you actually give something of substance you can perhaps do your best to keep your speculation to yourself, it's people like you that may well be responsible for egging others on to the point of threatening behaviour...

lack of liquidity does not = spent funds...

e.g. if the bitcoins are being held as part of their pegged deposit scheme, but they need additional funds for expenses outside of those bitcoins allocated for that scheme, (now I'm no economist/business student so correct me if *THIS definition* is wrong), would that not equate to a lack of liquidity?

I believe they simply dont have the money since danny often wrote that he could pay the debts if coins werent lost there and there and he could pay it with his own money if he didnt lost personally so much too.

So it sounds to me like they simply dont have the money. If it would be bound somehow he would have stated it the same way he explained that he lost money with weex and mtgox.

Though i have no proof. It only sounds that way to me... :)

the fact is, that announcement provides no details for what is going on, and raises more questions than it answers. LMB needs to make a real announcement right now and lay the cards out on the table.

Here's what is needed:
1. A financial report that shows where the IPO funds are, how much was spent, how much remains, etc.
2. A statement that explains what happened with the trading/suspicious activity. 
3. When will trading will be resumed?
4. How will operations proceed, and what's the plan for getting the company back on track?

That is the bare minimum of what is required, here.  Anything else is adding insult to injury.

I'd also like to hear TAT's version of things. His behavior indicates something major was going on behind the scenes, and he needs to come clean.

I believe they simply dont have the money since danny often wrote that he could pay the debts if coins werent lost there and there and he could pay it with his own money if he didnt lost personally so much too.

So it sounds to me like they simply dont have the money. If it would be bound somehow he would have stated it the same way he explained that he lost money with weex and mtgox.

Though i have no proof. It only sounds that way to me... :)
I got the same impression from what he wrote.  Party's over, no money to keep things running.  If that's true, there is some serious explaining to do.  How the hell do you not have enough funds to make it beyond your first month of operation?

I am very very curious if somebody will be able to raise any capital via IPO offering in "bitcoin securities market" after this.

it was apparently a direct threat...

this community makes me laugh, people are so used to scams that it's all they'll ever see. The best part is you can't see the difference between scam and failure/problem/setback, it's just all scam...

do you happen to know what percentage of startups fail?

The problem is people get too distracted. Who knows why people come and scream scam, but investors spend so much time arguing with them that they fail to see the failure/problem/setbacks coming and end up with the same result as if it was a scam.

Total scam, something that turned into a scam, something that was a good idea that got unlucky, a good idea being run by someone who is incompetent, a bad idea with good people, good idea with good people that got ruined by bad luck/timing/something unforeseeable screwing them, something they should have seen coming screwing them, a meteor, it doesn't matter, they all end up with the same result, people having less coins than they started.

People were so busy arguing that Danny was in Cyprus (even though he wasn't) that they didn't care about the lack of financial reports or the fact hat they had been open for a month, and had invested in what appears to be the world's most expensive bitcoin info both

Actually, the community is trusting to the point of gullibility -- it gets taken again, again, and again.  So no, scams is not all it sees -- you, for one, are *still not convinced*.

sorry mate... innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

until you actually give something of substance you can perhaps do your best to keep your speculation to yourself, it's people like you that may well be responsible for egging others on to the point of threatening behaviour...

Before guilt could be proven, an accusation needs to be made -- not the other way around.  Mate.
Further, presumption of innocence is the basis of most criminal, not civil, law.  There are countries with civil law based on presumption of innocence, but most of the world does without it.
Rigors of proof, for most, don't need to match mathematical rigor.  We know that NeoBee is done even without a fork sticking out of its belly, yet some are still demanding moar proof.

What i dont understand is... how is it possible to trash all the IPO-Money? I dont see what big investments had to be done.

One friend of mine has interesting point of view on this. I questioned : How is possible to spend so many millions in one month without any result?

he answered : You know, it doesn't need to be actually spend, it could be effectively laundered away. Easy with Bitcoin.

That is also an important lesson to be learned from this. All of the people who spent the last week proving that this wasn't a scam did so by pointing out that they had spent lots of money. Spending money doesn't necessarily mean it's going to a smart place or that you are going to be making money.

Post by: Darkstone2 on April 02, 2014, 08:25:56 PM

lack of liquidity does not = spent funds...

e.g. if the bitcoins are being held as part of their pegged deposit scheme, but they need additional funds for expenses outside of those bitcoins allocated for that scheme, (now I'm no economist/business student so correct me if *THIS definition* is wrong), would that not equate to a lack of liquidity?
Pretty much this. From Danny's post, i don't get the impression that they're bankrupt. Just that they didn't have cash available with the actual liquidity tucked away.. somewhere.

A portion obviously for customer funds. The rest? I don't know. An financial report would be useful for this one.

Rigors of proof, for most, don't need to match mathematical rigor.  We know that NeoBee is done even without a fork sticking out of its belly, yet some are still demanding moar proof.

We know nothing except that Danny intends to step down as CEO and that the date for paying dividends is late. That hardly looks like 'We know NeoBee is done' to me.

As I said, it looks that way to me, though I could also create a hypothetical where NeoBee makes everyone rich and my cat discovers cold fusion.  Metaphysically possible but improbable.
On a cheerier note, no dividends were missed because you were not due any dividends.  Dividends come from profits, of which there were obviously none.

Again, this is simply a commonsensical assumption.  There is some evidence of expenses (photos of branch, press photos, ad campaign, etc., etc.) and no evidence of income (no announcements of live BTC trading or deposits).  If you would like more rigorous proof, I, again, got nothing.
I'm even unsure if you were due a quarterly financial.  Danny has stated that such statements will be issued, but no start date has ever been set.  If quarterly reports started from the IPO date, you should have already had one.

Highly likely. But even if there are no dividends i would expect a statement saying that there are no dividends this period.

And i'm not living in a world where my cat discovers cold fusion. I live in a world where facts are important and rumors are unimportant.

No. They don't have any reputation, clients etc. I would rather start a new company, it would be much cheaper for me.

That's what would every potential investor think during a meeting with Danny. So, there is no chance Neo&Bee will work in the future.
Glad I sold my shares and withdrew my bitcoins from Havelock.

I'm really lucky, guys! I withdrew all my BTC from MtGox right before their trouble/closing, and sold all my NeoBee shares right before their closing. LOL.

I don't think anyone was expecting a profit one month into this thing, but maybe I'm wrong.  If someone was expecting profits, I'd like to know why.

That doesn't excuse the lack of financial information, but I hesitate to assume anything when we don't have that information. Especially with Danny mentioning liquidity issues, a full financial report is absolutely necessary immediately.

Yeah i'm pissed. So pissed that i'm going to spread all kinds of FUD all over the place. That will surely help.

So far i've found the reasons for Danny's silence quite valid.  And the trading halt and lack of financial information questionable. But rather than burning the company down over those facts, i am giving them a chance to explain. There is no point in trying to drive down the price of an share that (provided the 'rumors' are true) might never resume trading since NeoBee is already as dead as a pork with a fork in it's belly according to popular opinion.

Most citizens of Cyprus have now heard of Neobee, and many got interested in Bitcoin because of it.
The infrastructure of the company and their plan is already there, the only thing that is lacking is money.
I'm sure some investors will see potential in that.

2. A statement that explains what happened with the trading/suspicious activity.  

What about this : Suspicious activity is when hundreds of investors are desperately trying to transfer shares from LMB joke-site to Havelock to be able to sell them asap at any price. So they just halt the transfers, preventing fall of the share price to 0.00.

I'm not sure I agree that's what the word means, but in any event that's not what I meant. I meant don't ignore rumours. Lots of people on r/bitcoin (pretend to) do that if the rumours are negative, or even worse, try to get others to do so. Every time there's bad news coming out of China there are people who want to put up posts saying "rumour X is false" without evidence instead of "X is just an unconfirmed rumour". Real events are often preceded by rumours, even though many rumours turn out to be false.

now, you're just trying to stretch it to be relevant. If he lies about what he had for dinner to friends, it has no relevance to a thread about the business he is involved in. Not everything he does is relevant to Neo.  

As I remember, a thread was opening specifically for the Ukyo issue, and Neo wasn't involved (Danny bought them out), talking about the Ukyo case on a Neo thread was irrelevant.

In any case, that's not what we are talking about, we're talking about something extremely relevant, TAT possibly knowing of wrongdoing and hiding it from Neo shareholders.

If you suspect your CEO is bending the truth, it seems relevant.  Especially when he holds your money and you have next to no recourse if shit goes bad.

Lying about huge sums of money is no more relevant your assessment of a banker than what he had for dinner?  I guess i got nothing.

No, that's not what we are talking about, quit trying to reframe it.  He said he couldn't talk about it and instead moved the discussion to the appropriate place (you know, the thread that was dedicated to that topic).  That's not the same as "lying about huge sums of money" and certainly isn't the same thing as TAT withholding information from Neo shareholders.

I:     "...there may be legal/ethical reasons preventing him from being as open as he'd like (to paraphrase Danny)"
You: "yeah, everyone always uses the legal/ethical excuse when they know something illegal/unethical was going on."
I:     "Everyone seemed fine with Danny using that line with the Ukyo gig."
You: "you're just trying to stretch it to be relevant. If he lies about what he had for dinner to friends, it has no relevance to a thread about the business he is involved in."
I:     "Lying about huge sums of money is no more relevant your assessment of a banker than what he had for dinner? "

Which brings us here.

To be clear, TAT has not stated or even hinted at being bound by law/ethics.  That was a hypothetical, made clear by "...there may be..."  It was you who brought up such statements likely being bullshit.  When Danny used that excuse to keep everyone in the dark about huge sums of money, (a line you yourself pointed out is usually crap), you argue that while [presumably] crap, it is no more important to this topic than a lie about his dinner.
Topic being Danny starting a bank to handle other people's money.  But possible lies about other people's money are irrelevant.

TAT possibly knowing of wrongdoing and hiding it from Neo shareholders.

What if in addition to that TAT was trading under insider information, knew wrongdoing and liquidated his shares (400K) whilst restricting transfer requests of other shareholders from LMB to Havelock?
Is there any evidence to suggest that?  I don't think the volume on HL shows 400K shares being traded, but maybe over a long time.

400k ? wow ... from where you get this number? If he had 400 000 shares he must be so pissed off right now. I had hard times to liquidate several thousands, but 400 000 ? The market wasn't so deep for selling this kind of amount, and i was there at first peak at 0.006 and second peak at 0.0042 watching all trades live. No chance for selling 400k, never. So the better bet is that he's so pissed off because he lost a lot with this investment.

TAT was in contact with Mircea every day on #bitcoin-assets , they were always very chatty ... because of that I was very disturbed by that MPOE-PR thread about Brewster. That was the final red flag for me.

I wrote this PM to him back then, but never get any response :

Hmmm this is quite disturbing, MPOE-PR who is talking a lot with TAT on IRC (TAT is very close friend with Danny and also I believe 1st round (0.001) co-founder of NEOBEE), is speaking against Brewster and NEOBEE on public.

I never saw that, but I had to eliminate most of MP's claims, just cause he's typically full of shit like that, but also because he had a financial incentive to show some sort of wrong doing by Danny.

If TAT knew something was messed up, and was teaming up with MP, then he should be investigated for fraud.  If he was just chatting, knew nothing, then no harm done, but from his reactions lately, I have to come to the conclusion that he knew something was up.

We, however, still don't know what that "something" is/was.

No, TaT began believing in NeoBee, just as he did with his AsicMiner Passthroughs. After time though MP offered TaT too much cunt and n00dz and TaT converted. Once TaT was converted he corrupted Danny into depositing all of the coins in scams like Gox and Buttfunder/Weex. Then once MP taught TaT the incantations TaT summoned operator unreliability to destroy NeoBee's chances in its infancy.

On March 28, 2014 Havelock Investments halted trading of the NEOBEE Fund; Havelock Investments has yet to receive any formal information in regards to the questionable trading activity on the LMB share platform website. We have not received any formal information on the current situation at LMB Holdings. Due to those factors we have decided that the unit holders on the NEOBEE Fund should no longer be suspended from trading their units. The Fund will now be designated as NEOBEEQ to reflect the uncertainty of the future of LMB Holdings – NEO BEE Ltd. Financial information on the status of the company has not been released. The units of this Fund will continue to trade even if the company will file for bankruptcy. We will continue to update you if any information is provided to us.

Trading will resume today at 5:00 PM EST

Thank you for investing with Havelock Investments!

The staff member confirmed that the local staff had not received their March wages and that they did not know anything about Brewster’s whereabouts. Brewster apparently left Cyprus on or before 19th March and the staff member had not heard from him since

Following those posts on the forum, I received direct threats targeted directly at my daughter, they have been reported to the relevant authorities, Once those threats were made I took the advice to remain outside of Cyprus and remove contact with anyone that could be responsible for the threats, this included not speaking with members of staff that could be responsible.

- Without informing any staff he boards a plane and leaves the country
- Does not leave plan in place for neobee when he leaves country "for business"
- Does not pay employees for entire month of march so they are quitting.
- Lost 400 btc of "his own money" in mtgox.
- Receives a single threat (why?) and decides that is enough to quit and abandon his company.
- Has not filed police report about threats.
- Leaves multimillion dollar company without anyone in charge after quitting suddenly.

Could this have really been a long con?

My reasons for leaving was to raise additional capital for the business through the sale of my equity as we had run out of liquidity, I had exhausted all of my own liquidity too through directors loans to the company. Every single Bitcoin raised and spent is accounted for, any claims of embezzlement are nothing but empty claims with no foundation. There were coins lost in BitFunder/WeExchange which I personally covered and assumed that debt of 1420BTC to ensure the company could continue unaffected, UKYO also owes me an additional 260BTC separately from the 1420BTC. I also have 369.8BTC of my own Bitcoin stuck with MtGox that would have been given to the company to settle all creditors and continue operations whilst more capital was raised. Having funds on MtGox was a personal risk that I assumed and no company funds were ever held on there.

My original plan was to raise more capital to allow the company to achieve its potential through the sale of some of my equity. The moment threats were made towards my daughter this plan changed and I decided I would sell all of my equity, allowing the new owner to appoint a new CEO.

Said threats might have scared him and made him act irrationally and we don't know how it affected his fiancee. In a way he put life of his daughter first to interest of shareholders and his company if those threats were real.

Too early to make rush judgements.

No look it wasn't a con. Danny has lost a fortune in neobee. He has made a big business loss as CEO and has freaked out simple as. Wouldn't you?

The loss is not fraud, the loss is down to the market not following NB predictions. Many many businesses fail due to adverse market conditions or unrealistic profit forecasts. Many FIAT banks have failed and in the weeks before crunch point stress levels are beyond maximum for all involved. Danny probably didn't sleep or eat properly for 2 weeks leading up to this. It's not easy to go into work and tell 10 people you can't pay them, their jobs are gone and the company has no liquid funds to continue. He fled due to the stress of it. It's natural and he would have been far from himself in the days before the crunch day. He hasn't done anything illegal from what I can see he has just freaked out. Again businesses fail. That's life.

If you put money into a bank and it goes bust you won't get it back - unless there are 3rd party guarantees inplace somewhere.

They've started burning through cash before launch, months before. Launch was just public opening. Staff was hired before that. $6 million or 4.378.920 Euros is not that much when you consider all the staff, promotions, lawyers, trading software, lobbying, travel expenses, building renovation, POS terminals and so on.

No, 6 million is a ton of money even with expenses considered.

If they hired an accountant there should be no reason they even came close to bankruptcy. Money doesn't just disappear. It was slowly drained from their wallet until there was nothing.

And what "clear resolution" are we waiting for? CEO and entire company just quit.

They put USD into a NB pay-in account didn't they? That would then take a day or two to process before NB could move it to an exchange to buy the coins? And then the coins need to be transferred into their NB account? This could take 4 days during which the bank may have ceased trading. How else would it work?

15 minutes for neoq, i'm quite intrigued.

Some have been aggressively gathering shares, now trading will start on an asset
that people suggest nobody is representing or steering/

They put USD into a NB pay-in account didn't they? That would then take a day or two to process before NB could move it to an exchange to buy the coins? And then the coins need to be transferred into their NB account? This could take 4 days during which the bank may have ceased trading. How else would it work?
They could have reserves in order to pay you now.
Pretty simple, actually.

Calm the fuck down and wait for a clear resolution before shitting your pants like that. Freaking idiotic weak hands.

They've started burning through cash before launch, months before. Launch was just public opening. Staff was hired before that. $6 million or 4.378.920 Euros is not that much when you consider all the staff, promotions, lawyers, trading software, lobbying, travel expenses, building renovation, POS terminals and so on.

No, 6 million is a ton of money even with expenses considered.

If they hired an accountant there should be no reason they even came close to bankruptcy. Money doesn't just disappear. It was slowly drained from their wallet until there was nothing.

And what "clear resolution" are we waiting for? CEO and entire company just quit.

i agree $6Million is tons of money

startups usually lucky if they get $500,000

Doesn't really matter if the CEO  has quit the company still belongs to the shareholders, the scary think now is that Havelock is trading shares of  a multimillion company for peanuts. And anyone with 320 btc can take control of the company.

This project was ambitious. The brand awareness campaign alone must have cost more than that. There were also costs associated with events, renovating the building, buying equipment, specialized software, web design, lobbying, lawyers, ordering POS terminals, specialized POS software, travel expenses to conventions. Keep in mind George the CTO or COO went to Miami convention not long ago to talk about Neobee (Danny was busy in Cyprus at the time). http://www.coindesk.com/miami-bitcoin-conference-schedule-available/

Not only that, but the company doesn't belong to the shareholders and never did.  The shares are shares in *the profits* of Neo, not in the company itself.  Do folks even bother reading before giving away their coin?

On the other hand i do wonder why people assume that NEOBEEQ = NEOBEE.  Assuming that the trading halt was done per Neo's request and was legitimate (which I admit is sorta lulzy), the shares known as NEOBEEQ have nothing to do with NEOBEE, unless Danny has authorised this tradefest.

Neo and bee shareholder is LMB Holdings, people pay for LMB Holdings shares.

"shares" are representative of ownership in one company. Laws cannot change by rules

They could but where is the fun in that? Banks make profit from holding your funds for a few days before processing them. The bigger the sum being regularly 'held in processing' the more profit the bank can make form this free cash. I'm not saying N+B were holding for processing but their partnered FIAT agency/middleman or whatever they were using to process their USD. N+B could obviously pay out from reserves immediately and probably would have in the future despite the processing delays in FIAT but you wouldn't if coins were tight at N+B. And coins were tight.

Well a Q rating means that if someone takes over the reigns they could easily erase the old shares structure so it is a risk
https://www.sec.gov/answers/qadded.htm

When a company is involved in bankruptcy proceedings, the letter "Q" is added to the end of the company's stock ticker symbol. In most cases, when a company emerges from bankruptcy, the reorganization plan will cancel the existing equity stock and the old shares will be worthless. Given that risk, before purchasing stock in a bankrupt company, investors should read the company's proposed plan of reorganization. For more information about the impact of bankruptcy proceedings on securities, please read our online publication, Corporate Bankruptcy.

I don't get it.
Basically they say "we try to rebuild the company and maybe we manage do to it, but even if we are successful, you get nothing".
Umh... why?
I fully understand not giving money back if they are unable to recover, and I definitely understand that creditors should be paid first, but what's the point of "just erasing old shares" instead of "they are last in line"?

"...investors should read the company's proposed plan of reorganization." (https://www.sec.gov/answers/qadded.htm)

There is no such current proposal, so currently, investors are simply gambling.
This doesn't imply that they are being foolish.  Assuming there is absolutely no underlying value does not preclude wagering that the price will float up and you can get out with profits.  This was done with Labcoin shares, where pretty much everyone knew Labcoin was a scam.  This is Bitcoin, no one has ever gone broke by banking on greater fools.

Sure, but I was wondering why under any circustance "just erasing" old share would make sense. As opposite as, as I suggested, putting them "last in line", just in case something comes up. Which is usually nothing, fine, but at least in the rare case it does, they get it.
Maybe it's obvious to an expert, but it's not to me.

I'm not an expert either, but here's a start:
Quote
Upon bankruptcy, a firm will be required to sell all of its assets and pay off all debts. The usual order of debt repayment, in terms of the lender, will be the government, financial institutions, other creditors (i.e. suppliers and utility companies), bondholders, preferred shareholders and, finally, common shareholders. The common shareholders are last because they have a residual claim on the assets in the firm and are a tier below the preferred stock classification. Common shareholders often receive nothing at all, as there is usually very little left over once a firm has paid its debts.
 http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/06/bankruptpublicfirm.asp

There are different types of bankruptcies (in US Chapter 7, Chapter 11, 13 etc., etc.) under Chapter 7, a debtor surrenders his non-exempt property, under Chapter 13 he retains it.  It's not trivial stuff, and "bankruptcy" is just a catch-all term.  Anyhow, no one filed for bankruptcy AFAIK.

This presupposes actual shares, these shares don't represent partial ownership of Neo, but "shares of the profit.'  This makes bankruptcy the worst-case scenario for Neo shareholders -- they are explicitly not entitled to any post-liquidation residual value.

There are different types of bankruptcies (in US Chapter 7, Chapter 11, 13 etc., etc.) under Chapter 7, a debtor surrenders his non-exempt property, under Chapter 13 he retains it.  It's not trivial stuff, and "bankruptcy" is just a catch-all term.  Anyhow, no one filed for bankruptcy AFAIK.
This is much clearer and makes sense and sounds reasonable – the previous SEC quote still makes no sense, but I guess we can live with it.

This presupposes actual shares, these shares don't represent partial ownership of Neo, but "shares of the profit.'  This makes bankruptcy the worst-case scenario for Neo shareholders -- they are explicitly not entitled to any post-liquidation residual value.
Correct observation, which basically is why you should never buy profit-share only (a mistake I did once).

But my question to you is how did you knew that Danny fled Cyprus for his safety?
and you kept posting here that he fled..
Are you involved with the threads that Danny received?

I didn't know that Danny fled Cyprus, and still don't think he has fled for his personal safety or for the safety of his daughter.  Not sure what you're saying.
And no, I had no reason to threaten Danny and thus did not.  I'm answering this with the assumption that this is a question rather than an accusation, since I never deny absurd accusations.

Well a Q rating means that if someone takes over the reigns they could easily erase the old shares structure so it is a risk
https://www.sec.gov/answers/qadded.htm

When a company is involved in bankruptcy proceedings, the letter "Q" is added to the end of the company's stock ticker symbol. In most cases, when a company emerges from bankruptcy, the reorganization plan will cancel the existing equity stock and the old shares will be worthless. Given that risk, before purchasing stock in a bankrupt company, investors should read the company's proposed plan of reorganization. For more information about the impact of bankruptcy proceedings on securities, please read our online publication, Corporate Bankruptcy.
I don't get it.
Basically they say "we try to rebuild the company and maybe we manage do to it, but even if we are successful, you get nothing".
Umh... why?
I fully understand not giving money back if they are unable to recover, and I definitely understand that creditors should be paid first, but what's the point of "just erasing old shares" instead of "they are last in line"?


Sorry signed out there Lohi

The investopedia explanation has it mostly correct in terms of liquidation and how that should work aka the priority scale Bondholders Preferred Shares - Common Shares etc.
What I meant is that if the company changes management as was mentioned in Danny's last post and decides to reorganize the company, their is a possibility that new ownership does not acknowledge the previous shareholder capital without a proposed plan for reorganization that includes the shareholders of current neobee shares.
Since Neo Bee Shares are non-voting to my knowledge the shares held have no real power in the decision making process and why Havelock gave it the Q rating in my opinion.
Until Neobee gives out a proposed plan of reorganization we are in the dark on what will happen to the shares now.

We do know if we trust Danny's post that they are not liquid presently and they are looking for new management, and who will write the new contract, aka some agency.
How shares will be handled is uncertain until we see the final copy though.

OP
The whole process will be completed and handled through an agency that specializes in these matters, once the final details are completed, the agency details will be made available to interested parties who wish to purchase 100% of my equity in LMB Subsidiaries Ltd thus taking full control of all subsidiaries. I shall also be providing the new owner full rights over the Bitcoin debts currently owed by BitFunder/WeExchange as I know people are working on a solution to recovering those debts for everyone that has funds stuck there. This process will also write off all directors loans I have made to the company and I shall not receive any financial compensation through this sale process.

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/liquidation.asp
Creditors liquidate assets to try and get as much of the money owed to them as possible. They have first priority to whatever is sold off. After creditors are paid, the shareholders get whatever is left with preferred shareholders having preference over common shareholders.

Since Danny is completely liquidating and moving ownership to someone else, the controlling stake will belong to the new owner.

OP
I am working towards having this entire process completed within a short period of time to enable the business to recover, to ensure that those invested do not lose out following this process.

I think they would not be preferred shareholders since they are part of the Private Tranche but are counted towards the Public shares
Not 100% certain myself though although the private tranche has no voting rights either.

LMB Holdings Share Structure
Public investors will hold 9,600,000 LMB Holdings shares (60% of the profits), whilst LMB Subsidiaries Limited (UK) shall hold 6,400,000 shares (40% of the profits), for a total of 16,000,000 LMB Holdings virtual shares, which represent 100% of the global profits of the LMB Subsidiaries Limited (UK).

Voting Rights
Shareholders in LMB Holdings do not have explicit voting rights. Any questions or concerns will be answered within 24 hours through our own investor relations website.

of course there are no voting rights you cannot just vote if you buy 1 share. In order to vote you need to have high %


The vast majority of shares are ordinary shares which carry a right to one vote per share. There may, however, be different classes of shares which may have no voting rights or restricted rights
However any five or more members, or the holders of not less than 10% of the voting rights can demand a poll

EDIT IN: Implied Rights Do Factor Into This (Aka) State Regulations under UK and Cypriot Laws

No they should all have the same privileges that said LMB Holding Shares have no rights regarding voting procedures unless presented by the board.

Public investors will hold 9,600,000 LMB Holdings shares,  LMB Subsidiaries Limited (UK) shall hold 6,400,000 shares, total of 16,000,000 LMB Holdings virtual shares

Voting Rights
Shareholders in LMB Holdings do not have explicit voting rights.

No idea what the implicit rights are do you know where it says anyone with greater than 10% voting rights can demand a poll?

EDIT IN: Implied Rights Include State Regulations under UK and Cypriot Laws

Although there are dissolution rules

Dissolution
In the event of insolvency, all assets shall be sold and all proceeds remaining after repaying creditors shall be divided evenly and paid to each public share. Depositors are not creditors, and LMB Subsidiaries Limited (UK) will not have access to any depositor funds in the event of dissolution. Deposits shall be recovered by the customer though the external legal representative.

You do have a point sort of, the thing is I am not sure if the SEC compliance rules apply in virtual securities or if they can be extended towards it sort of an out of jurisdiction issue.
The SEC is an American based legislation and we are dealing with a Bitcoin based system while American investors can turn to the SEC, it is a Cyprus based company so it doesn't really apply here as a universal case.

The reason I linked to an sec document for the Q rating is because that is commonly used terminology for an asset in bankruptcy or restructuring not because it conforms to a regulatory procedure like the one mentioned above.

That said I say sort of because 231 is fairly common worldwide in one forum or another so how it would be applied should be under Cypriot law does make it relevant as it is a real company even if the assets are denominated in Bitcoin.

http://www.paschalides.com/ru/articles/corporate-articles/87-basic-aspects-of-cyprus-company-law.html

@thekekk can you define nowhere near true that is a bit vague we may be on the same page but different approaches, I'm basing it off the Neobee prospectus, your pushing through overlapping rules from American based Security Laws and while commonalities exist they are two entirely different ways to look at it.

UK and Cyprus Laws applies.

And based on the exception shareholder/s own 10% can initiate voting.

So it was just a difference in the approach, in that case I concede your points US law does not apply here and it should be based on UK and Cyprus based laws.

The interpretation from the prospectus rights and the legal rights of security law can be approached from different angles.
I was relying on the prospectus to interpret and not the legal law, that said while I do not believe that was an entirely incorrect approach,  your point is valid concessions to the law of the state aka the UK and Cyrpus are important since these are the implicit rights shareholders have.

Anyways went a bit into legal/investment based stuff thanks for pointing out that State Laws do give large shareholders rights outside of the Neobee Prospectus.

As an aside Havelock put the Q in their shareholdings so that's why I used the American SEC definition and not a UK/Cyprus based one
It is currently trading as NEOBEEQ   
Q Standing For - Bankruptcy proceedings

Regarding US Laws that do not apply anywhere, linking to an overview of corporate bankruptcy based on an investopedia article seems fine to me even it it is American based but feel free to clarify what you meant by US laws not applying since I didn't really reference anything explicitly american besides investopedia and the sec defintion unless you mixed my post with notlambchops explanation of Chapter 7 and Chapter 11.

As a second aside I kind of find it amusing we have more productive discussions here than in the moderated thread lol

Formal announcements directly from Havelock's site (https://www.havelockinvestments.com/fund.php?symbol=NEOBEEQ):

April 4, 2014

On March 28, 2014 Havelock Investments halted trading of the NEOBEE Fund; Havelock Investments has yet to receive any formal information in regards to the questionable trading activity on the LMB share platform website. We have not received any formal information on the current situation at LMB Holdings. Due to those factors we have decided that the unit holders on the NEOBEE Fund should no longer be suspended from trading their units. The Fund will now be designated as NEOBEEQ to reflect the uncertainty of the future of LMB Holdings – NEO BEE Ltd. Financial information on the status of the company has not been released. The units of this Fund will continue to trade even if the company will file for bankruptcy. We will continue to update you if any information is provided to us.
Trading will resume today at 5:00 PM EST


March 28, 2014

Havelock Investments has been formally informed by the Pass-Through Fund Manager of NEOBEE that the compliance officer of Neo and Bee Ltd has stated that due to an increase of abnormal activity on the LMB share platform, there may be a high possibility of questionable trading activity. While Neo and Bee Ltd investigate the issue further they have strongly recommended that we halt trading and transfers.
Havelock Investments has halted the NEOBEE fund and is awaiting further instructions from the issuer.

Freezing trading means you don't get to sell for satoshis. If lets everyone clear the panic and protects the investors against manipulations like Neo or whomever buying back cheap shares.

Also, freezing was done on behalf of Neobee, because Neobee _asked_ for it. The re-listing was done unilaterally by Havelock. They have no right to do it and it wasn't done because Neo asked. That created a panic and ppl sold for satoshis. Bascially, Havelock stole all your Bitcoins Neo shares and gave you Goxcoins Neobee.Q shares.

Havelock is not an investor protection service. It is a stock exchange. People use the site to trade stocks and as a shareholder that is exactly what I want to do.

I dont need you or neobees permission if I want to freely trade my shares. If you don't want to trade your shares then feel free to not trade your shares.

Neobee did not have the right to freeze trading simply because there is "suspicious trading" on a seperate trading platform.

And havelock does not need neobees permission to resume trading because there is no neobee.

No company. No ceo. No staff. Nobody to resume trading. Havelock is in charge of the passthrough now that TAT quit.

So should all shareholders be stuck with their shares indefinately and call it a game? Of course not. We should be able to salvage pennies on the dollar if we want and speculators should be free to speculate.

And how is havelock stealing anything? They have earned a whopping 0.1btc in trading fees since enabling trading. Do you really think they care about so little btc?

False. For the past 7 days, the total tade volume of NeoBeeQ was 74 BTC total. Havelock gains 0.4% per trade, so that is <0.3 BTC total. LMB holdings probably gets 10% of that.

You are implying that havelock made 0.1 btc with over 400btc daily trade vol on neobee, in two days?
you so funny.

I do love when people talk out of their ass.

First of all the fund listed on havelock is not under neobees control. It is a passthrough run by tat who ragequit giving control to havelock.

Fact is that trading should have never been halted to begin with. If danny or tat didn't authorize it then who did?

Second, there was only 74btc traded so far since trading resumed. Only half of that is taxed (no fees on buys) so havelock has made a whopping 0.15 btc by allowing trading. Wow such scam. Very profit.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Havelock makes 0.4% per trade, that is 0.3 BTC, not 0.15.

Fact is that trading should have never been halted to begin with. If danny or tat didn't authorize it then who did?
The announcement clearly states that the NeoBee compliance officer requested the trading halt.

0.3btc or 0.15 doesn't matter because it is incredibly tiny. We are talking about a company which supposedly lost 12k btc of investors funds a month after launch and you guys are concerned about havelock making 0.3btc on trading fees?

The announcement clearly states "they have strongly recommended that we halt trading and transfers."

So it was only a strong recommendation which havelock is free to ignore.

We're talking about an exchange with absolutely no volume, .30 ain't nothin' to sneeze at for Havelock.
But you're right, it's not the .3BTC they were after.  They probably thought that resuming trading was the simplest way to undo the harm they caused by halting it.  Worked about as well as expected.

Thank you for actually contributing the fact that what you really wanted out of this was to be able to resell your worthless shares to another "investor" and thus pass the buck.

Also, if you really think Havelock is actually a half-decent exchange, explain: VTX, RENT/RENT2 (or whatever they call it), CFIG, etc.  Do you mean less scammy maybe? If it ever were a half-decent site in the past, it sure is going the wrong way.

You might also be interested in checking out the SEC/FINRA rules on trading halt. Some of them should really be applied in Bitcoin stock "exchanges", lest we stay in scammer-land (good for scammers, bad for investors and everyone else).

Do you really think that those fly by night operators care about their customers? lol

You are right. I did want out of this. Why are you so bent on forcing me to hold my shares. They are my shares shouldn't I be free to do as I please with them? You and I might think the shares are worthless but clearly the people buying right now feel differently.


I think you should really learn how SEC handles trading halts. In case you didn't already know, the halt was merely a suggestion from a random neobee staff member. Havelock has every right to ignore the suggestion especially when no more communication is coming from the people who suggested halting trading to begin with. So even if the SEC was regulating havelock, they would be fine with how the halt/resume was handled.

It seems more likely to me that you are just looking for reasons to hate havelock. It is fine if you think they are sketchy or don't care about customers but resuming trading only benefits the customers so you will need to find another straw to grasp at.

Things look pretty bad:

http://www.coindesk.com/neo-bee-ceo-breaks-silence-alleged-bitcoin-fraud/

Danny Brewster, CEO of Cyprus-based bitcoin company Neo & Bee, has broken his silence, taking to reddit to address some of the rumours that have been circulating about him of late.

Posting on the forum as ‘cryptocyprus’, the British-born entrepreneur said the suggestion he has committed fraud is his “greatest concern” at the moment.

Earlier this month, Cyprus Mail reported that two customers paid Brewster €15,000 and €20,000 for bitcoins, which they never received.

Further allegations then started flying, claiming Brewster had left Cyprus and defrauded investors. Brewster took to the Bitcoin Talk forum to defend himself and admitted he was out of the country, but stressed that he was away on business.

In his reddit post, He goes on to explain that he sold bitcoins to a number of people prior to Neo & Bee opening to the public, with four of these people requesting that he hold their bitcoins until they provide him a wallet address to send them to.

“Sorry to disappoint those that believe the tales that I simply took them…. The keys are still stored on paper. The total sales to these 4 people amounts to 75.29270138 BTC which were purchased for a combined total of €35,213.57 so I have no idea where the values reported in the media have been derived from,” Brewster’s reddit post continues.

It goes on to say:

“I have not received one single request from the individuals who bought the bitcoins from me to send the coins to an address they provided. With one exception a request was made but that was received from the individual that introduced one of the buyers to me, they requested for me to transfer the coins to his Bitstamp account.

I didn’t send the coins to his address as he was not the person that I had the agreement with. One of these people went directly to the police following rumors that I had fled the country.”

Brewster claims he has been trying to contact the Criminal Investigation Department of the Cypriot Police for days via both phone and email, but they have not responded.

He goes on to explain why he did not return to Cyprus immediately following the issuance of an arrest warrant:

1. I have a family funeral to attend.
2. The whole situation can be resolved without me doing so.
3. The manner in which the investigations are being carried out are concerning, the police haven’t made an attempt to contact me despite numerous personal requests for them to do so.

Brewster suggests that the four customers provide their wallet addresses to the police, who can then forward this information to him. He has instructed a lawyer in Cyprus to facilitate this process.

Personal circumstances

Brewster’s reddit post, titled ‘The full picture from Danny Brewster’, continues by explaining a few facts about his personal circumstances.

It claims he had enough bitcoins in Mt. Gox to pay back all of Neo & Bee’s creditors in full, but now that the exchange has closed down, he does not have access to any of these funds.

He also confirms he bought a Bentley in December, which is still in Cyprus. He says he had planned to sell the car this summer, reinvesting the profit into Neo & Bee. Now he will sell the car and put the money towards satisfying the company’s creditors.

“I am concentrating first and foremost on resolving the issues with Cypriot police including my planned return to Cyprus. Only then I will concentrate all of my time on resolving everything surrounding Neo and Bee,” his post concludes.

I see a classic bullshit delaying tactic as usual from danny.

50+ updates for bitfunder/weexchange and literally no information given or progress was made.

100+ updates with neobee and nothing was done besides spend all investors funds on advertising and a new house/bently (he expects us to believe it was his own funds?)

How can you even say ge cares about the company when every cent of investor funds was wasted before launching and we are only made aware of the catastrophic failure after danny takes a surprise vacation and the company collapses?

Please elaborate on where you got the idea that danny gives a shit.

No? Then this is just more speculative FUD. Do yourself a favour and wait - screaming into the wind does nothing to resolve a situation. If the police are actually involved, this will be resolved through legal channels and everything will become clearer in the end.

You are going to be waiting a long time at dannys rate.

And you don't find it suspicious that danny all of the sudden became rich after launching this company? New house, new bently, new mercedes, 400btc of "his own" money stuck in mtgox.

Also most of that "speculative FUD" you dismissed earlier has now been confirmed.

Here is a quote from neobee staff

Quote

    1. You did not sell majority of the bitcoins beginning of October. It contradicts your earlier statements. Evidence needed, and convenient lack of evidence because of MtGox is laughable.
    2. You quickly packed your belongings and left. Yes, I'm sure you left your daughter behind, but that only reflects poorly on you as a father.
    3. You made no good faith effort to contact your personal creditors to whom you sold bitcoins to, and acted as a custodian.
    4. You claim to have hired or intention to hire a 'forensic accountant' to prove your innocence. Why you would need a forensic accountant is beyond me. If you want me to, I'll publish the numbers you've been giving your employees. That will illuminate your incompetence.

ALL of your employees were very eager to help you and find the best solution to the problems arising in mid March. Although that was before we had time to go through every detail and create a clearer picture of your misconduct.

@NanoAkron:  Police don't care about your "investment,"  nothing will "become clear in the end."
On top of fleecing you for your coin, Danny also took IRL fiat from IRL Cypriots, promising them stuff he didn't deliver.  That's what the warrant is for, that's what the cops care about.  Not your virtual shares of virtual silliness profits.

Oh dear oh dear. An unsubstantiated series of claims by someone who made an unsubstantiated claim on reddit that they were a former employee of Neo (because nobody lies on reddit). You MUST see why this is a ridiculously low standard of evidence you're setting for yourself.

IF the person on reddit posted some form of proof of their former status at Neo, IF they then provided evidence to back up points 1 and 3, THEN they might be worthwhile points to discuss.

Furthermore, bitfunder was never an incorporated business with offices and employees. If you can't see the difference between bitfunder and NeoBee, then I'm not sure anyone can help you. IF the police are involved in the Neo situation, we will see forward progress through the legal process. This was never the case with bitfunder.

To those who demand evidence of everything: you are accusing the Cyprus Mail of lying and/or of copy-pasting their article from this forum without bothering to make even a single local phone call to the N&B offices to check.  That is a serious accusation, so it is your turn now to provide the evidence of that.

As for Danny's  background before going to Cyprus, we have only a claim that "he worked as security in nighclubs and pubs in Sheffield UK".  Are there any public records of that?  Did he have any schooling after high school? Did he ever provide a biography?

This quote above, (bold and underlines are mine) seems to be saying that the people that are asking for evidence from a media outlet, are actually accusing the media outlet of lying.
And two lines below, the same poster is asking for evidence on a part of the story that is of interest to him, personally.
Now, why would someone accuse the people that are asking for evidence, in the same post he himself is asking for evidence?

A few posts back, another poster gave an address claiming it was brewsters wallet.

People asked him to verify that the address he posted belongs indeed to the person the poster said it did.
If you take a look you will see that a few people asked for "any kind of evidence that the address belongs to him".
The people that asked for evidence are either critical against neo, or supportive, nevertheless do ask for evidence.

The anonymous poster only told us that he had received a payment from brewster via that address and thus he claimed that the address was indeed his.
This is no evidence though. You know that, i know that, the poster who made the claim also knows that. Yet he made absolutely no attempt to verify his claim.
Why would someone make such a claim, if he has no evidence to support it?

Without any evidence of any kind, such statements can only be seen as suspicious.

Anyone can make a claim.
It is up to the person making the claim, to support it with substantial and independently verifiable evidence.

Furthermore, unlike anon speculators or commentators like you and me, news outlets do have the obligation to follow up and check on what they are reporting.

This startup is only a few months old. It belongs to the real world, not the virtual. It is not a scamcoin, or a "cryptofunds" IPVO.
It went public, this has real life implications.
If authorities are on it and any mismanagement has occurred, it will be revealed and dealt with.

Red text.  Inclusive or.
Yes, demanding evidence is implicitly accusing media of lying and/or not verifying sources, especially when taken in context.  How do you read it?

*The press is neither obligated to, nor does it usually, provide evidence.  Journalists often mention sources, e.g. "Police spokesperson," but that's about it.

This thread is starting to read like some Theater of the Absurd (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theater_of_the_Absurd)  play...  ;)

Asking for evidence in general is not an accusation.  However, the people who have been asking for evidence (at least some of them) explicitly denied that the Cyprus Mail artilcles were evidence.  What else could they be then?

I have my evaluation of the situation, my standards of evidence and my way of making sense of what I read, thank you.  I write my opinion based on that evaluation, and how I got to it.  Everybody is entitled to a different opinion, and no one is obliged to find my arguments convincing.

Some quite emphatic but quite contradictory testimonials have been posted here.  It follows that least some of the people posting here are shameless liars.  Naturally, I consider any factual statement posted here as very weak evidence.  When several such testimonials and external documents agree, and none contradicts them, I may give a high probability to the statement.  When testimonials and/or external information disagree, I must try to guess which is more credible, and assign appropriate probabilites to each version.

I am curious about the schooling and professional history of Mr.  Brewster in England, because they obviously could change a lot my evaluation of the situation.  In fact, I would think that any investor should want to to know that basic information before investing, and anyone who solicits investment is obliged to provide it.

Asking for evidence is not an accusation, simply a verification of what he just said. If i make a statement, you ask for evidence, and i refuse to give that evidence for no known reason, doesn't that implicate that my statement was false? If i can't provide the evidence, i might just as well said nothing because the statement holds no value without it. For example, i know a shop that does not abide to certain customer protection laws. I've knew that for years, but i have kept my mount shut until the first public viewable evidence arrived.

And about cyprus mail, it's a local newspaper, none of the larger newspapers have copied the story. That reduces the chance of the story being based on actual facts. The chance that the story is correct? I don't know, maybe 50%? Any statement in this forum without proper evidence, i give that 0% change of being correct.


Oh, and the moderated thread is no longer moderated, since the OP was banned after i provided a boatload of evidence to the mods.

Why would someone make such a claim, if he has no evidence to support it?

This is a fair point, and i am not questioning the authenticity of the "this is danny's bitcoin address' statement". But you must know that on any forum, there are always those that spread false statements. Either because they don't know, of because they think it's fun. Asking evidence is a good way to actually help the unknowing, and discredit the liars.

The Cyprus Mail seems to be an old daily newspaper based in Nicosia, the only one in English language.  is is appropriate toc all it "local"?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_newspapers_in_Cyprus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_newspapers_in_Cyprus)

As for other (Greek language) newspapers in Cyprus, I don know what to search for with Google.  If they did not report on the affair, I would rather conclude that Neo & Bee was not such a big thing in Cyprus after all...

But the most significant thing,for me, is that there are no reports that contradict the Cyprus Mail, other than forum posts by anonymous users and by Mr. Brewster's himself. 

If you care to know, I would give 80% probability that the Cyprus Mail and other newspaper reports are essentially correct.   Sorry, but my life experience taught me that statements by someone in Mr. Brewster's situation should not be given any weight whatsoever.  If he wants to benefit of the "innocent until proven guilty" principle (that is appropriate in courts, but disastrous in everyday life) he should turn himself in.  If he wants his statements to be taken seriously, he should make them to the court, under oath and pain of perjury.

PS. By the way, about the Neo & Bee TV ads broadcast in Cyprus: were they in Greek, or in English? (The ones that were circulated in this forum were in English, created by an UK agency it seems; but I assumed that they would be translated.)

news quotes

Still, none of these articles are not adding anything to the info. None of them have any news worthy of being taken seriously.
You can go ahead and believe them, i'll wait to see what the courts think. After they check any fact.

Shamefully reposting without any fact checking is not reporting in any part of the planet. Its what the Sun does.

Not trying to defend or accuse anyone, but i feel i need to point out that asking for evidence is not an accusation, as someone claimed.
Asking for evidence in general is not an accusation.  However, the people who have been asking for evidence (at least some of them) explicitly denied that the Cyprus Mail artilcles were evidence.  What else could they be then?

Well, people asking for explicit evidence are obviously people looking for evidence.
I dont see how you can accuse them, and not yourself.

For all we know, you are also one of the speculators, after all.
Why would you attack people looking for evidence otherwise...

Agreed, "where is Danny now" is the most important question; but the police will not need our help in that.

On the other hand, what he did before going to Cyprus is relevant because it may help us understand how this mess took off and got so far.  Which in turn may help people recognize and avoid similar disasters in the future.

Part of the reason for the MtGOX disaster was the "libertarian pilosophy" that has come to be associated with bitcoin.  In that philosophy, a shady past, running afoul of the law, lack of proper accounting, financial opaqueness, and avoidance of regulations are not defects; they may even be seen as virtues.   Thus, in particular, MtGOX's clients were not bothered by Karpeles's troubles with the FBI (that apparently made him avoid traveling to the US), or the fact that his exchange was completely unregulated and unaudited.  They did not think of checking Karpeles's past; and even if they did, they would probably not object to what they would have found.

As long as bitcoiners continue to think that way,  the already long list of bitcoin scams and failed-from-the start bitcoin ventures will only continue to grow.

Well, people asking for explicit evidence are obviously people looking for evidence.
Sorry if the sentence was ambiguous. "They" referred to the articles, not the people.  If someone says that the Cyprus Mail articles are not evidence, he is accusing the reporter who wrote them of either having consciously lied, or of having copied rumors from anonymous posts without checking them.

But those quibbles are irrelevant at this point, agreed?

For all we know, you are also one of the speculators, after all.  Why would you attack people looking for evidence otherwise...
No, I am not an investor trying to pull the stock price up, nor a speculator trying to push it down; and I do not care about either.

I just don't like scammers and liars, and I am worried about the legion of bitcoin opportunists who are already turning their sights to Latin America as the last large repository of suckers with money.  Isn't that reason enough for me to be interested in the Neo & Bee case?

Bitcoiners actively allow scammers and dreamers, by checking nothing, trusting anything 'because it's Bitcoin' and then accusing any criticism as FUD.

That is changing quickly though and has absolutely nothing to do with Bitcoin itself or even any supposed libertarian philosophy. MtGox was a centralised point of failure in a decentralised system. Centralised exchanges should have no role in a decentralised system.

It's particularly lulzy that haters of banks and centralization get repeatedly pwnt by centralized exchanges, and, finally, by a d00d starting ... a bank :D
But I agree, this has nothing to do with Bitcoin, rather the finance enthusiasts who flock to it.

@Havelock:

Now that nobody's paying the maintenance fees, how long are you planning to keep NEOBBQ trading on your fine exchange?  Indefinitely, or is there some endgame scenario you're considering?  Will you make an announcement before halting trading & delisting, or after?

Thanks.

Seems like an interesting enough question technically the Q assets should be paying listing fees but they are not so is there a delisting date

What is he doing now??

Mr Brewster is staying with his Grandmother in the Yorkshire area. You are all correct in saying there was no funeral that he attended, this was just another lie to spin. I wonder do you carry a book that you write everything you say down Danny? You do know that your past does always comes back to bite you. You wanted fame and fortune and now Danny you google your name and arrest warrants and you have fame for all the wrong reasons.

Danny stand up and face what you have done, return the lavish items you bought with company funds. Tell the truth, that your bit coin knowledge is as much as a 5yr old you just went with your ideas at a bull at a gate. Tell the truth that you used the companies money to live. tell the truth the there was NO 6 million euro of your own funds for start up. Tell the truth and have an independent account go over all accounts.

For once in your life be honest, you might actually free yourself of some heavy weight. Just think of your family and the stress that all this is putting them through. think of others for once nit just the selfish sole of yourself.

Cancelled Future Festival catering firms 'still owed cash'
By Tim Johns BBC Radio Lincolnshire
Future Festival website The event was due to be held at the Lincolnshire Showground from 27 to 29 July

    Cancelled concert tickets on sale

Businesses have said they are still owed thousands of pounds after the collapse of what promised to be Lincolnshire's largest music festival.

The Future Festival - planned for July - was cancelled in March.

Since then several catering firms which had paid for pitches have complained no money has been returned.

Danny Brewster, who was involved in organising the festival, said money was paid to the company fronting the event, which he claims he has sold.

In March, BBC Lincolnshire reported the cancellation of the festival and issues concerning those who had bought tickets.
'Quite shocked'

Since then several companies have said they are owed money.

Gatwick-based Richard Billings said he paid a 50% deposit for four pitches.

"We paid the fee, which for four pitches came to a total of £2,500.

"It doesn't leave a very nice taste in the mouth that people can do that. I suppose you learn from it, learn to be a little more cautious in the future".

Richard Clark, who runs a Mexican food stall, said he parted with £500.

"I was quite shocked that somebody could just take people's money and just do nothing, organise nothing", he said.

"We're only a small company, we both work full-time, so the cash flow we have is very small.

"It's been a very tough trading year in catering with the weather and the recession. It was quite a significant loss to us."

Earlier this year, Mr Brewster told the BBC he had separated himself from the company running the festival - Future Entertainment Ltd - "legally and lawfully", and it had been sold to a man called Ramluda Antonictvius. Mr Brewster was unable to provide any further contact information or details.
'Failed business'

Companies House has confirmed there has been no change to the ownership of the company and Mr Brewster remains as the sole director. The accounts are currently overdue.

An email address was provided for those who had lost money to try and obtain a refund. However, none of the caterers or ticket-holders who used that address have received any money or any response.

When asked about the problems, Mr Brewster said: "The caterers and the seven people who purchased tickets did not enter into a contract with me as a person or send me any money, they entered into a contract with Future Entertainment Ltd which is now a failed business and a separate legal entity."

Lincolnshire Trading Standards said an insufficient number of complaints have been made to them to commence a formal investigation.

It added those out of pocket could pursue a claim through the county court.
