While the financials can be found on the BitVPS website, I have found it more helpful to summarise them in a spreadsheet. |

Brendio doesn't own BitVPS, Rapeghost does, he's only allowing a "pass-through" asset that allows you to buy BitVPS stock (which is on MPEX) on GLBSE. Anyways, like most web hosting services, BitVPS has a clause in their TOS which disallows any activities that are illegal in the US, and any customer found in violation of the TOS will have their account closed. I'm also pretty sure they do some form of verification to make sure you are who you say you are. (I'm not affiliated with BitVPS) Thanks, Blazr for answering the question. For those who missed it: 6. BIB is in no way associated with BitVPS and no representation is intended or implied. Rapeghost (rg) was contacted prior to issue and has expressed no concerns about this offer.
Please direct operational question regarding BitVPS to rapeghost (rg). You can try the OP for the underlying security here, but you're probably more likely to get a response chatting to rg on IRC. |

I will be issuing 70,000 depositary receipts. Of these, the Bitcoin Investment Bank will retain a long standing investment of around 20,000 and 27,680 will be transferred to an investor currently holding BitVPS shares through my brokerage service. That leaves just over 20,000 shares to be offered for sale upon listing. |

That leaves just over 20,000 shares to be offered for sale upon listing. The premium will vary depending on demand and market conditions. Originally I was planning to make the premium 10-15 %, as I need to make back the 8 BTC listing fee before I even start turning a profit. The recent rise in the price of S.BVPS, no doubt in anticipation of a GLBSE listing, means I can lower the premium to closer to 5 % or so, which is in what I charge for my private brokerage service. I will be looking to commission a trading bot at some stage, and this increase in efficiency should allow me to offer lower spreads. |

I left it quite late in arranging for auditing of my MPEx account, but I have been in contact with someone and hope to have it sorted out soon.
