Despite weather I'm being seen as a troll or not ; still waiting on a legitimate answer and possibly as well as other people who may read this, unless so far the replys are the official MD legitimate answer... then well - /me starts whistling
VV created a thread about this same topic a few months ago. It quickly devolved into a complete disaster.
I'll see if I can find it and link to it.

You want to open an Bond/IPO all you need to do is submit your limited API to the public.
Does your limited API show that you received 100 billion ISK from Riethe/Bad Bobby/any other scammer?
NO! Well thats pretty damn interesting information to know don't you think?
Although even a full API key won't show that your scammer alt on another account bought expensive faction items, jetcanned them, and you scooped the can thus giving you the ISK.

Limited API does not even allow for an assessment of current net worth (and the size of offering to net worth ratio is imo pretty important information for potential investors).
I'm well aware of that, that is why I asked the question

as we generally don't see audited offerings turning scam (see the data linked above, if you don't believe it look up cosmoray's data which paints essentially the same picture) I don't think this is happening (unless the auditor is still building up the alt for the final scam which burns it)
What about offers that were audited then went on to non audited offers? If those scammed would you still consider that a scam based on being audited or not?

Can you point towards a scam by a character which had built its reputation based on a line of audited offerings? I don't recall one but it would be interesting to see if any questions regarding the previous audits were asked.
Thats just it. I reallt can't think of anything like that. Now if I spent some time digging through the history of MD before my time I might be able to find something.
The closest thing would be EBank, but it was never a public audit, just internal audits, so it's not applicable to this discussion.

Your point is kind of invalid unless you VV continue to monitor every IPO/Bond you audit? Which I don't think you do
I do what it's agreed. Few times I was involved in months long continued performance assessment and I did it. The other times I steer clear from ever querying investees' API keys again after the audit is out, this would be a serious breach of their privacy.
Some change their keys after the audit is over, but most don't, they trust me and I won't disappoint them.
Notice how I can only talk about myself though, these are things I never heard other auditors talk about.
I can say that as an auditor, I've never went back to "check up" on anyone. Hell most of the time, once the audit is done, the API is deleted out of the programs as with the mail they sent to me.
I already make a good amount of ISK per month doing what I do. Besides that, I know how to crunch the numbers myself and find where the profit is at
