EBANK Amarr155
|
Posted - 2010.07.29 07:16:00 -
[1]
I'll skip any sort of introduction or opening and get right to the "meat" of this announcement. There will be another update in the next 1-2 weeks regarding the opening of % withdraws.
Support Site The EBANK support site is online and should be utilized to alert EBANK staff of any account related issues. You can access the support site by going to the following link. http://support.eve-bank.net. As a reminder, if you do not specify the character name that owns the account (the character that sent the initial deposit to create the account) it is very difficult to provide support. The support site is great for handling issues such as forgotten passwords.
One last point regarding the support site, due to issues with the database all old tickets were lost so if you had a ticket and the issue has not been resolved you need to create a new one.
Pre Account Freeze Withdrawals The pre account freeze withdrawals will be explained in the next announcement. Please do not request a withdrawal if your isk was deposited before the accounts were frozen, it will only be canceled. /me waves his hand This is not the announcement section you are looking for.
Post Account Freeze Withdrawals If you deposited isk AFTER the account freeze (8/25/2009) and wish to withdraw your isk (you are not obligated to), please submit a support ticket with the pertinent details of the deposit. If you wait to request a withdrawal during the pre account freeze withdrawal period you will forfeit all but the current account %. Basically, if you deposited isk after the freeze you need to either go through the procedure of withdrawing it now or wait until after the pre account freeze withdrawal period ends.
EBANK Loan Requests If you wish to request a loan please create an account and submit your request using the EBANK account management page. Details on creating an account and requesting a loan can be found in the "Frequently Asked Questions" section of the EBANK website.
EBANK Website, Terms & Conditions, FAQ, etc. Please keep in mind that certain parts of the EBANK website are WAY out of date. We are in the process of updating some of the sections as time permits but currently it is impossible for us to update the site as a whole and continue with the more important EBANK operations. Sorry for the inconvenience but at the same time, this isn't exactly new news.
Errors and Omissions Any spelling/grammar errors found within were put there on purpose and should not be mentioned henceforth. I'm human and make mistakes but I'm also Amarrian and will crush those that point out my flaws.

Sorry for being the dumbarse out of the loop nub, but someones gotta do it.
What does this mean?
Is Ebank solvent? I thought they said they weren't going to pay out isk until they were, so either thats changed, or they made a crapload of money in record time.
What % is expected to be paid out?
I only read MD semi regularly so if this is all in another thread, please direct me. :)
Can we get a recap of whats happened at Ebank in the last say, 6 months, and what plans are going forward? Even ballpark is fine, we don't need the specifics.
Regards, Sugar

I don't think it even implies that Eve Bank is now solvent.
My guess (emphasize: Guess) is that Eve Bank just got a 225 billion line of credit that it intends to use to retire some existing post-freeze obligations (deposits) and to make new loans to hopefully make some money off of.
Why do I think they got a 225Bill LOC? Because the timing of this thread and the parties involved just screams at me ... Anonymous party seeking (and obtaining) 225Bill Line of Credit ... .

Actually we've done well lately getting rid of Titan stuff and have the isk available. But to be honest we weren't sitting around waiting for isk to become available, we've been busy working on other things.

If you deposited money after the accounts were frozen you are dumb but EBANK rewards stupidity and will return this ISK. Previous depositers? Thanks for the donations. We now offer loans with said money and you can apply to pay interest on using the money you gave us if you wish. ----------------------------- Phey OnatSaehta |

I just love your 'greater than thou' attitude, probably why I can't stand you or your posts and try to avoid your threads or talking to you in general(the whole if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all concept). Too bad you can't put your big boy hat on and stop trolling.
Also, I reported my last thread for lacking any content as it was about 90% a joke on Hexxx's behalf. If you would like to engage in mature conversations please feel free, but stooping to the levels that you so often have a problem with makes you nothing more than a hypocrite.

So AC, but since you did mention
Quote: regarding the opening of % withdraws.
One can only say that you will begin allowing withdrawls based on a percentage of the ISK they have in their accounts.
Which, as much as I hate giving Vero credit, does sounds like you are acknowledging the majority of depositors ISK is gone forever.

Nevermind, my views on e-bank are well known. It's not a bank as long as you aren't giving all depositors the ability to withdraw the same % of their money that ebank has remaining of total deposits.

IF people want to get some isk out now. This is not a liquidation and forced withdrawal process. This is in response to those individuals that say they want the % of their isk now versus having to wait until some date in the future to get it all.
So no, Varo is wrong. The only small way in which he is right is if people choose to withdrawal their isk at the current % and forfeit the rest. That is a choice they have to make and one that people have been *****ing about wanting to be given to them.

I can finally stop *****ing about this and getting annoyed by a lack of response. I will be intrigued as to how you go about it % and rate wise... could probably plug it into the spreadsheet I linked onto your forums months ago. I wonder if any of you ever looked at it. :/
Don't stuff this up and maybe you can start clawing back at your reputation. I wish you luck.
Ofc, Ebank time is much like valve-time. 1-2 weeks I'm estimating at 1-2 months.

And you continue to amuse me. You're the last person on earth who should be talking about trolling and maturity levels.
Here's the thing. Your two threads are devoid of any substance. They say absolutely nothing new. They continue the tradition of smokescreens and delaying tactics. The bank had already said people wanting to withdraw would only get x on the ISK - sometime. The bank had already said it intended to "work towards full solvency" - sometime.
So nothing has changed. Now why don't you bugger off, make some real money for the bank for a change, and only open a new EBank thread when you are ready to take action, and not just jaw about taking action at some point in the future.

So making threads about intent to do something or to provide updates is wrong?
I apologize to everyone else for giving you this much attention and overlooking their comments. I'd be more than happy to answer legitimate questions but I don't think anyone else cares to watch us go back and forth.
Originally by: Sugar Jugs Were my questions trollish? Illigitimate? Not worth adressing?

My apologies Sugar, I went to bed when you posted then got sidetracked. No EBANK is not solvent, we are simply moving through our plan to the next phase. I don't know the exact % that will be offered to those that wish to cut and run but I believe it to be in the neighborhood of 40%. As far as the past 6 months of activity, there will be more information provided in the % withdrawals update but to summarize: -some people have left -we continue to wade through the accounting mess and automate the reporting process -we've also had to deal with some website/forum issues -people asked to be able to withdraw their isk at the current account value % so we've decided to let them using some idle isk. -some people continue to tell us what we should do then when we go along with it they ***** about it, but they suck and don't matter
I know I've missed something but as always, I'm drinking and posting so there's likely to be omissions. I'm sure someone is likely to "set a trap" for me!

You're right, Ray. I was being disingenuous - for a purpose.
But honestly, you guys suck so bad at PR it's... amazing. I am honestly delighted to hear that you expect to be able to repay 40%, not 30%. But AC just slipped that in as an aside! You'd have made far more impact if you'd just waited a bit longer until you were in a position to actually pay the 40%. Here's the difference:
"We're announcing that we intend to make an announcement about stuff soon."
"With immediate effect all depositors can draw 40% of their deposits."
See what I mean?
You guys are not going to disappear. I have my differences with you and AC especially, but I don't see either of you as runners. Misguided, certainly, but not runners. And that is probably a commonly held view. So I don't agree with you about the need for an announcement about an announcement now. Keep your gunpowder dry, don't draw your dirk unless you intend to use it, yadeyade.

Since everyone are now commenting on VJ it made me want to chip in:
Varo, I used to read your comments with interest when you started out and had ideas, actually you were one of the more inspiring persons here. But now it seems you only strived to achieve elite status so you could have the status to cut anyone else down and be a true b****. Or to be more lenient, you don't wear succes well. It's not a pretty sight either way.
Example from my own LLSE idea thread (since I generally don't read your posts anymore): "In-game shares are useless for all purposes, barring a few exceptions. This isn't one of them." Not exactly constructive criticism, more the comment from someone who wants to be the #1 troll on the board. Well good luck with that although you have some competitors.
And in general, to all the trollers out there I raise my finger: if you want to be critical there are more constructive ways. Cosmoray is a person that has attempted to run several of my ventures into the ground, but I always read what Cosmoray writes in any thread I see. Because he has good points, eve constructive ideas, as well as a tough attitude. Watch, and learn! ----------------------- "Signatures" chatroom for traders / Hydra Investment Fund |

Wasn't this always the case? I've been under the impression that anyone who deposited after the freeze (often by accident) could request withdrawal of their funds without a penalty.
If my perception is indeed the case, then this part of your announcement appears to read: "Hi, (in maybe as soon as two weeks time) we're keeping most of your money if you deposited it after EBANK failed - for another indeterminate period, the current one approaching a year.". If I'm wrong, then ... well, pretty much the same statement again anyway.
It feels like you're trying to excuse yourselves for keeping more money in whatever is left of EBANK. Is it unfeasible to action withdrawals on all post-freeze deposits? If so, why?

You are both correct and incorrect. Isk deposited after the freeze has always been available to be withdrawn. The point I was trying to make is that if you deposited isk AFTER the freeze and you wait to request a withdraw DURING the % withdraw period, you will forfeit all but the % that pre-freeze withdraws are going to get. It sounds confusing and is confusing. I'm not saying we are keeping your isk if you don't withdraw it, I'm saying either withdraw it before the % withdraw period or after the % withdraw period but not during.
The most important part of this whole announcement was to notify post-freeze depositors about the coming change so they could decide if they want 100% of their isk out now, or that they have to wait until after the % withdraw period to get 100%. I just don't want them requesting withdrawals during the % withdraw period and not getting the 100% that we have always agreed to pay them. Clear as mud or?

I disagree with your statement Ray. This announcement contains quite a major bit of content and Varo is only partially right: Saying it is minor is a bad PR move.
This is a major shift in eBank policy. Especially after many months of stubborness and "black box" appearance, you guys are bending to the needs of your customers and doing so in an open forum. There should be kudos and gratitude expressed and instead you have people continuing their habit of hate.
Only a fool goes on and on about devaluation and isk run off. Of course isk ran off, Ricdic admitted it. Ran around making sure there was enough stink about it to make the news, with Hexxx's help I might add. If someone wants to continue the lynch mobbing on this issue I'd suggest flying to Australia and looking for Ric as a more effective use of their personal animus.
As I see it there are three (3) general kinds of eBank customers:
- Confident: Supportive and willing to continue with their deposits in eBank's hands.
- Annoyed: They no longer have any confidence in eBank and what as much of their isk back as they can get.
- Disgusted: Many are hostile as well but essentially have given up on receiving any isk back thinking that eBank has robbed them.
This action by eBank is the start of satisfying all three customer types. Those who are annoyed can start getting their what they can back, those who say eBank are thieves can get some isk back. As for those who are supportive, this actually makes it so that eBank can take in deposits from supporters and cash out non-supporters.
Most importantly, it returns choice to the customer. Not a perfect solution but then perfection went bye bye when Ricdic decided to be a complete waste of space.
So, in all honesty, thank you Ray, thank you AC. This action restores some of my confidence in eBank.
PS: Might I suggest the "exchange rate" be proportionally tied to the ratio of liquid isk to institutional debt. This would allow those who say, "I want even a small portion of my isk back now", the chance to prove their words. Equally, as debt decreases in relation to available isk, the increasing ratio of exchange rewards those who "stick it out" the longest.

Not liquid ISK. I imagine that Ebank is still running pretty illiquid still, and given their last public financials had about 100b to hand if memory serves to 1.7t debt. Thats much to low a ratio to base any form of withdrawal on. (5.7% thereabouts)
Base it on NAV, ratio is about 37% or 38% as of a month or two ago. Out of interests sake I put together a spreadsheet to figure out what they'd have to do to stay solvent a few months back. If you lock the monthly payout at a certain rate and they still earn a certain % profit on all assets then they can actually give out x isk and not suffer a net loss in NAV.
Examples...
(740b Assets, 1.9b Liabilities)
3% Profit per month, 15b Payout, 0% Withdrawal fee - 100% Asset/Liability ratio in March 2013
3% Profit, 15b, 10% - January 2013 2%, 10b, 0% - July 2014 5%, 15b, 10% - Feb 2012
Etc.
All the above values show no reduction in NAV at any stage (infact show an increase). They just have to get the ratio right and keep earning profit on what they have got. Strangely enough they have to earn more than they're giving out per month, ofc. About 2% on 740b if they went with 15b payout a month.

Originally by: Amarr Citizen 155 The most important part of this whole announcement was to notify post-freeze depositors about the coming change so they could decide if they want 100% of their isk out now, or that they have to wait until after the % withdraw period to get 100%. I just don't want them requesting withdrawals during the % withdraw period and not getting the 100% that we have always agreed to pay them. Clear as mud or?
Actually clearer, thank you.
That being said, why not ID and gather up the incoming transactions from the post-freeze period onward and return them anyway - so they don't get in the way of the % withdrawals. Then you wouldn't have a somewhat confusing statement for those people about when and when not they should try to get a withdrawal from EBANK.

Ironic, that you think this is some comeuppance response to me whereas I am actually thinking about doing so. I truly believe that the only way to be properly supportive is to step up to the plate. Though I doubt such "character" is within you given that you troll with an alt. (See I've already been discussing about a new wave of deposits with AC so pbbbttttt.)

and when it comes to loans, im sure none in their right mind wll take loan from "Bank" that has reputation of dishonoring its contracts anyways.

But honestly, you guys suck so bad at PR it's... amazing. I am honestly delighted to hear that you expect to be able to repay 40%, not 30%. But AC just slipped that in as an aside! You'd have made far more impact if you'd just waited a bit longer until you were in a position to actually pay the 40%. Here's the difference:
Well, bad PR is a common trait you (and me and also CCP) share as well.
Quote:
"We're announcing that we intend to make an announcement about stuff soon."
Sometimes even just stating something as little as "hey, we still exist" is a signal for their account holders that maybe - just maybe - everything is not lost.
Of course this is EBANK's public stated intention and it does not necessarily have to become true.
I mean: EBANK really digged their own grave, but there's no need to continue pis_sing in their shoes like an unconstructive broken record. - Auditing & consulting

I received an interesting evemail today that I thought I would share.
Quote:
From: XXXXXXXXX Sent: 2010.08.06 22:56 To: EBANK Amarr155,
Hail.
I am writing an article at the moment about another bank that is set to open called EOBT and I would like if possible a short statement from EBANK on their thoughts about the new competition.
If you could provide me with a statement, I would much appreciate it.
Thank you, XXXXXXXXX
I've been trying to decide how to respond and I've come up with a few ideas, let me know which one you like and I'll send it. Or post your own short response.
1. Competition? So they are going to be open for a year then the CEO is going to steal most of the isk and leave the game.... and they are somehow going to do it better than EBANK did? How unoriginal.
2. You're writing an article about a bank opening in Eve? God, the game must have really gotten boring when there's nothing better to report on.
3. Technically, we aren't really a bank right now. We're more of a holding company.... we hold a lot of debt and a little bit of isk and people can't really have it right now.
4. They're opening a bank in Eve? Tell them I've got a bridge for sale.
5. You should really do your homework next time. If you had, you would already know our statement about this new "competition".... /finger.

Frist, I'd like to say that I think this is a great move in the right direction for EBANK.
Secondly, I'd like to suggest that you hire a dedicated PR officer, and that Ray and AC refrain from replying to trolls in public threads. To put my money where my mouth is, I'll offer myself for this position.
I'd offer you a challenge similar to the need for CCP to commit to excellence. EBANK - Please commit yourselves to clearer communication and professional attitude in official communications.

At the current rate how long does E-bank expect it will take to pay out accounts at 100%?
With this information people can make a decision on if they want 40% now or 100% in 5-10 years time.

Originally by: Ray McCormack BLEEP authentication is now active from the Profile page, please let me know if you have any issues with it.
Confirmed to be working.
Note that you need to supply the BLEEP code "All info" (the top most BLEEP code), else the EBANK website will complain that the info has been filtered.
Thats fine with me personally.
That particular BLEEP code simply gives access to the http://api.eve-online.com/account/Characters.xml.aspx page and *nothing* else (like an API key would) I.e. the BLEEP code will work with that page, and that page only (again - unlike an API key)
As you can see (if you follow the link) this reveals all your other characters (that's the purpose of that page...) and also which corporation those characters are members of.
EBANK has stated that they wan't this extra info (other chars and corp affiliations) for various reasons I'll not bother repeating here.
Personally I don't particular like that, and would prefer to be able to simply supply the BLEEP code for the char that has an account with EBANK...
In my case it has no practical implications either way so I've obliged them...
---
This's simply a heads up to people about what info the BLEEP code will supply, and not least what it *won't* supply (everything else) to EBANK.
It's in my opinion a far better alternative than simply handing over your actual (limited) API code - So thanks for (finally) implementing this.
Again - Just a heads up, nothing more.

Yeah.
I'm returning what you'd get if someone changed their API key (when the BLEEP key expires).
As thats essentially the same thing.
I do this by simply feeding the EVE API a fake key, and then feeding back the reply.
Should the EVE API error message ever change, BLEEP will reflect that automatically that way.

No, the announcement will be made when we are ready to start issuing liquidation withdrawals.
In order to do that we first need to accomplish the following:
- BLEEP
- Balance Sheet
- Withdrawal Fee and Warning
One of three has been achieved, two was scheduled for this weekend but had to take a back seat for a few real life commitments and the long overdue AATP report, three is literally a half hour coding session of change, test, implement.

lol, you're doing it wrong 
if you think a task will take 30m - double that number -> 1h (to account for testing) - move the result up one time unit -> 1 day (cause during testing you'll realize that you're still in prototype stage and nowhere near a finished product; if you feel lazy: ~ -> 60 hours)
Originally by: fixed three will take us at least one day/between 2 and 3 days to change, test and implement.
... if you think that time estimate is too long, remember that according to Hofstadter's law it still is not long enough

There have definitely been loan threads from EBANK in the sales forum before, but this is the first one from the current management.
The reason for doing so is quite simple, we need to boost our loan portfolio. It has waned over the past few months and we're taking action to increase it.
You'll see that thread expanded over the next few weeks to highlight some of the benefits we offer (such as POS manufacturing and research of BPO collateral), but like most things it needs to pick up a bit of momentum first.

If someone reputable is volunteering to take on this task then please email me at [email protected] and I can sort you out with what has been done already (it's an excel sheet, specifically the AATP one, that needs to be updated to pull from the lolbank API proxy and adjusted accordingly).

No thanks, we don't want you as a customer...your ability to state the obvious is way to obvious for us.
In case anyone else missed the last year, we aren't seeking new depositors. We don't like the ones we already have so why would we want more?

Out of the 3Banks [its been 3 right?] id say EBank is the most "advanced" out of them there systems are very efficent like you can see your ISK in your account in no time at all which is also good by now i just hope they do come out of it cause they are very good even if there former CEO basicly got rid of 1.2tril ISK [1.2 right?]
I dont care what trolls/"evil" people will say to me after this but all i can say is
Keep up the good work if it is good work.
