What is the problem ? I've just spent a couple of hours of my time checking out Banx Capital/Media/etc Companies House listings, and took a little look at the offices.
Most Banx investors would have done the same thing before investing, so nothing I found could be really surprising to you.

I spent another 10 minutes on sorting out a data analysis dude who could, if everything checks out, clear Banx.io of the accusations of dodgy trading practices.
Not to mention all the time I donated to Banx 3 months ago to point out to them the error in their CMC figures.....that took a lot of arguing before Banx finally admitted that there actually was a problem.

This isn't a witchhunt, guys, it's just normal due diligence. Companies have publicly available accounts, that's how it works.
Anyway, if someone feels like providing the trading figures, or some accounts, that would be nice. 

@bizzyb
Being honest, I'm not a big fan of Banx since my last encounter with them:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1091855.0

But I'm doing my level best to be fair to Mark L here,  and I simply want to figure out whether Banx is legit or not. It's important, for everyone here.

Point about the video:
http://marklyford.com/mark-lyford-latest/a-day-at-the-banx-group-offices/
That's not Hong Kong.
The Banx Group Limited office is in Hong Kong, we've just established that, Mark confirmed it.
Maybe whoever posted the video got confused between the now-dormant Banx Capital offices in Ashby-de-la-Zouch and the new head office in HK.

Anyhow, more good news:
I've found a trading data analysis specialist who's willing to take a look at the Banx.io trading figures for BanxShares,
he should be able to discriminate between internal bot activity and genuine human trading on the platform.

I seem to remember that someone requested the Banx.io trading data a few pages back (   ), so I'd like to ask for them again:
@ByronP: Could I have as much BanxShares trading data from Banx.io as possible, preferably in .csv (or similar) format ?
Should be easy enough to pull off the exchange, and as you guys are migrating to OpenLedger soon, all of the data from then on will be publicly accessible anyway.
Making the historical data available will for analysis will only add to the transparency of the BanxShares project, and could clear up the accusations about internal bot trading.

Mmmmm....still no accounts, eh ?
What I'm trying to do here is to find some information that backs up the idea that BanxShares/Capital/Media/Technology/Mint is a genuine business.
Most businesses will have accounts available for just this sort of occasion.

Anyway, I said I'd take a look at the Banx offices, see what they look like, maybe find a building with a BanxShares logo visible on StreetView.
 
Here's the Hong Kong head office for Banx Group:

The Banx Group Ltd
14F China Hong Kong Tower
8 Hennessy Road,
Wanchai
Hong Kong

Then we run into a wall, the address is from a serviced offices/virtual office provider:
http://www.centreo.hk/

Nothing much to see here.


Moving on to the UK office for Banx Capital:

First Floor,
81 Market Street
Ashby De La Zouch
Leicestershire, LE65 1AH
United Kingdom

I did find a dentist and a Bangladeshi restaurant at that address, so thats pretty handy.

Teeth whitening and fairly good curry.....here's the StreetView:
If you check the door, I think that I can see a Banx logo on the left. Yay.......first sign of life for Banx. No sign of the curry house, tho'.

Found these on the way as well:
http://bitbanx.com/
and
http://banxnow.com/notifications/


Off to Panama:

Ricardo Arias St.,
Advanced Tower
11th Floor, Office B,
Panama City
Panama

Found a lot of businesses with the exact same address, making me think that this is another serviced office set-up:

and a load more......



In conclusion, so far I've found very little real-world evidence to support the idea that Banx Capital/whatever is a real biz: no accounts, and no real office locations, apart from the UK office, which really doesn't jibe with the corporate image that Banx is trying hard to project.
 
On the other hand: the Banx Capital/Group/whatever corporate presence may be pretty sketchy, but that's not actually a crime.
Plenty of businesses use serviced offices to 'big up' their corporate presence, that's why those services exist.
 
The issue of using dormant companies to trade/transact with could come back to bite Banx on the ass.
However, that's not my problem, and will only be proveable by taking a look at the accounts/bank statements for all of the Banx group businesses.

Here's a summary of the legal requirements for dormancy:
http://www.wardwilliams.co.uk/documents/Dormant_companies_-_the_lowdown.pdf

It is indeed a total show off move, bringing a Lambo to a finance conference, but that is how Marc rolls, it's his personal ride........and , lets face it, almost everyone loves funky supercars.


Here's a quick pic of the stage, with Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert on the stools:

 

Hang on a second, Mark.
Banx Capital isn't running at all.....it's a dormant company. It has had no transactions in this year, maybe for longer.
It can't engage in any form of trading without losing that dormant status and putting you in the position where you will have to start filing accounts.

Speaking of which, have you got any form of balance sheet/accounts/revenue stream information that you can post here ?
For any of the Banx businesses, I'm not fussy.

What's the situation with Banx Media ?



Also dormant, so no trading done or accounts available ?

@bizzyb
Could I more accurately paraphrase your argument as : that Banx Capital in the UK is dormant, and simply used as a placeholder, now that all trading has been transferred to the HK company ? 

Good point, BizzyB....offices, important stuff.

First off, looking at the Companies House listing shows:  'no overseas details associated with this company'.
This means that the Banx Capital Ltd I'm looking at is not a subsidiary of an overseas (ie Hong Kong or Panama) company.
Wonder how I can access HK companies listings ?


Here's a cap of the office addresses from http://banxcapital.com/:


I'll take a gander at the office addresses in a bit.....


EDIT:
figured out some HK company listings...
http://www.cr.gov.hk/en/home/index.htm
Found one listing for The Banx Group, here it is on page 279 of a stupidly long .pdf:
http://www.cr.gov.hk/docs/wrpt/wk_new&changednamecoys_20150615.pdf



The Banx Group Limited was set up in Hong Kong a few months ago, on 17 June 2015,
but Banx Capital in the UK has been dormant for much longer than that,
so the theory from BizzyB that Banx Capital is dormant because its a subsidiary of a HK company doesn't hold up.

And drilling down finds MJL as current director of 5 companies:
https://companycheck.co.uk/director/918339116/MARK-JAMES-LYFORD/companies

Banx Capital Ltd, Banx Media Ltd, Accrusoft International Limited, Mark Lyford Limited, Music Is Life Foundation

Plus 4 older appointments I can't be arsed looking at.
So let's assume that we have the right MJL and Banx Capital Ltd. here.

Heres the Companies House listing for Banx Capital:



What I'm looking for here is the company accounts filings for Banx. Any serious business will file accounts, as it's not only a legal requirement, but it is standard biz practice to allow potential investors/curious members of the public a chance to check out a businesses activities.

Here are the available documents for Banx Capital Ltd:


The only accounts available are in this document 'ACCOUNTS OF DORMANT COMPANY MADE UP TO 31/12/14'.
And I'm too tight to pay out good cash for a possibly useless document, as dormant companies do not need to publish full accounts.

Looking into the legal status of a dormant company is interesting for Banx Capital though:
http://www.informdirect.co.uk/business-finance/dormant-company-definition-and-requirements/
https://www.gov.uk/restart-a-non-trading-or-dormant-company

I have two questions for Mark and the Banx team as a result of this little dig around :

Do you have some company account filings for Banx I can take a look at without having to throw a hard-earned quid at HMGOV?

How is it possible that Banx Capital is listed as 'dormant' (ie non-active, not trading, no need to publish accunts....) while at the same time being an active business that is actually trading ?

Look at:
http://banxcapital.com/
Seems active to me.......







 

Yeah, but a deeper look shows that it changed from BitBanx on 4/4/2014.
Look at the UK companies registry:
http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk//wcframe?name=accessCompanyInfo

Anyhow, none of that means a thing until someone confirms that this is the Banx Capital in question.

Lots of shouting and not much facts round here, so lets try to figure out wtf is actually going on.......

First off, is this the correct Banx Capital company listing?

http://ukcompanydb.com/company/08797622/banx-capital-ltd.html

Nothing exciting to report on the redemption front.....

ReInvent money wasn't purely about crypto, but more about future trends in finance, and so there were (i estimate) about 5% non-testosterone based lifeforms present, which is better than any crypto conference I've ever been to.....

Here's a copy of the programme for the day:

Just updated the OP with the latest redemption transfers, we're at 3,318,394....

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1182317.msg12441796#msg12441796

As ever, I'll make the next round of payouts after the exciting day tomorrow.........
I'm going to be fairly busy, so I won't have a chance to check transfers out until fairly late.


Tora, tora, tora......!

Warf ? Come on, Stan, you just lost a million geeks with that one.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worf

Tonights payouts are available for your viewing pleasure here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1182317.msg12441796#msg12441796

As ever, I've done the payouts for tonight:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1182317.msg12441796#msg12441796

@Richie: not a bad idea. There are a couple of NAUT holders that might benefit from that offer, though I have to point out that people really, really shouldn't store all of their funds on centralised exchanges.....
Let's get together and discuss it sometime Friday.

LOL
Might be wrong, but it is funny......thanks, iCE

Yup....some nice things happening with NAUT.
(just to clear up a point: NXTNAUT is just a placeholder name, used to avoid confusion during the swap process, after the swap is done, we'll all be calling it NAUT.)

My last post from the redemption thread:

Just made the NXTNAUT transfers for tonight, as usual you can see them here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1182317.msg12441796#msg12441796

On account security: just make sure you use a good passphrase, the default passphrase generator used in the Nxt NRS client is secure.
As Nxt uses a brain wallet, password security is the only thing you have to worry about. There are no local wallet files that can be lost or stolen.
Watch out for keyloggers and Trojans, think about using a secure password manager like Keepass: http://keepass.info/

Lastly: some of you may have noticed that a mysterious (and very small) amount of NXT has appeared on your account.
If this happened to you, use some of it to make an outgoing transaction (like setting an account name).
Your first outgoing transaction publishes your account on the Nxt blockchain and increases its security.
This is a public service announcement from: http://nxtfoundation.org/

Made the nightly payouts, have fun with your NXTNAUT, people !

Current total is (as near as dammit) 2.9 million NAUT redeemed,  from a theoretical supply of 5.3 million. This translates to 55% converted from the total NAUT supply.
