I don't remember which way I voted on your audit (although, if memory serves, I only voted against one in total) but looking again at your first offering thread it is not entirely surprising that you were not considered to be a serious potential recipient of charitably donated funds . I think promising an audit in your OP, then doing an about face once the bond filled (pending audit), and then changing your mind again once all your potential investors withdrew might possibly have had something to do with it.

Thx for the business opportunity. I confirm that i recieved the anticipated interest and principal. You have however ended this a touch soon. As you say you might want to pay more interest i would like that I also liked your convos! Always ready to chat spending some time with your investors is nice.
The stop loss thing should become a standart for MD, but i think that wont happen cause nobody else seemed to like that part.
I however see the need for a simple structure for unsecured bonds i the future with a performance check included that shouldn't be to hard to implement.
So i want to thank you again for the great time chatting with you and i hope you invest the money good.
Nice played and fly safe

... A proposed fix to this would be to for auditors to actually give a discounted audit on a characterĘs first offering.
Oh yeah, that should have fixed everything! An audit would have stopped you from stealing the ISK. Those are very powerful auditors.
Funny to hear a scammer recommending audits, when we all know audits can't prevent people for stealing your ISK.
I don't think many people who argue for audits argue that they stop scams (although they can stop Ponzi schemes from growing and, thus, stop scammers from stealing MORE isk). The claim is, rather, that they give investors more information to base their risk assessments on.
Btw, how is your audit coming along? Have you selected an auditor yet?

Well I lost a little isk on my first MD investment.
I'll go back to the other sources for future.
I am amazed you'd burn the char for a few billion though.

Why are you amazed by that? The character cost him 1 billion to buy and made him 6.2 billion. That's over a 500% return on his investment.

It might help with regard to the business assessment, but it does nothing for scam assessment. An audit is a useful tool for a scammer to gain more ISK. You still thinking of a poor scammer, but most scammers build scams over previous scams, so they have resources to make an audit look legit. Do you still believe audits cannot be forged?
Regarding BSAC, we created a new account and are moving the CSF assets over to the new account, which is a bit time consuming. With the exception of contracts (no contract API), this separate account will allow for a full transparency in the CSF business; becoming the first business to do so. Regarding the auditor, I have not found anyone trustworthy to do the audit yet.

Haha, no worries. I don't blame anyone; my first bond was probably a little too crazy. I wouldn't have invested in me either.
On topic: Lethal, I'm curious as to what your end game is. Most scammers just cut and run and maybe try to do it again with a new character, but you're still here advocating audits and tighter security.  --- RL Meeting w/ Chribba

Bad Bobby did the same thing. He even gave the MD Audit Fund a chance to find a new investment so he didn't rob it. He even stated that, but I can't be asked to dig through the piles of posts looking for it.
So in summary is LE = BB alt?

Fun thing, I was thinking exactly the same.
It's the most dangerous scammer. The regular ones are "too heavy" and easily caught, the "random trigger inside" scammer sometimes does not even know he is a scammer, he just entertrains the idea (even in this scam, the OP says he *might* pay back, another BB alike ambiguity between scam, not scam, give back but always be under the ligths. It's also a sign of a little personality disorder.

It might help with regard to the business assessment, but it does nothing for scam assessment. An audit is a useful tool for a scammer to gain more ISK. You still thinking of a poor scammer, but most scammers build scams over previous scams, so they have resources to make an audit look legit. Do you still believe audits cannot be forged?
Yes, I am primarily thinking about audits for first time offerings in my comments in this thread. They have a great role to play in making life harder for scammers by ensuring that an offeror doesn't have known scammers on his account and wasn't given life through suspicious isk transfers; that they are actually trading as they claim; that they have the skills and nav that is claimed. Without the ability to check all these things there is no way to distinguish between someone who does trade, have skills and some nav, plus a clean account, on the one hand, and someone who has never traded, has no trade skills and has alts on the same account that run contract scams. As long as the second person can cut and paste a similar offering post to the first person there will be pretty much no way to tell the difference between them without an audit.
With regards to audits on bigger businesses could you give any examples where 'the audit mentality' to which you refer has led people to invest in a scam that would otherwise have been avoided? I've only been around for 16 months but I don't think I've seen any such situations in my time here. I just don't buy the theoretical claim that an audit is a useful tool to gain more isk for a scammer as it breaks down to the claim that the investors are safer if big businesses are not audited than if they are. Assuming the pot of investor cash remains equal in both cases I really can't see anything, either theoretical or evidential, to back up the suggestion that investing in an audited offering is riskier than investing in an unaudited offering. The only way I can see to claim that audits are detrimental in the way you suggest would be to add in the supposition that having audits increases the amount of isk in the investment market and that the extra isk goes entirely, or at least disproportionately, to audited large investment vehicles which, in turn, turn out to be scams sufficiently often to overtake the losses from scams in non-audited large businesses. But, again, whilst that works as a theoretical hypothesis the evidence just doesn't seem to support it, unless there have been some large audited scams of which I am not aware.
On the question of forgery, I am sure this is possible to some extent, depending on the manner in which an audit is done. One Stop, for instance, was independently audited on an ongoing basis, rather than on the basis of a single snap shot and would,thus, have found forgery to be very difficult, whilst the same cannot be said of an audit of the whole operation of a business like BSAC if done on a snap shot basis. But, in any case, even if a full audit is impossible, an anti-Ponzi audit could not, I think, be forged. You either have, or have access to, X amount of assets or you do not. The only way to get around one of these would be to raise a completely private and secret loan to cover the shortfall for the duration of the audit.

Haha, reread what I said and what I was responding to. You can't move to better things without having some sort of startup ISK. 6.2b is chump change in the scheme of things, but it was a necessary take for the moment. Also it was a bond, principle pay back after fixed duration, all that jazz.

A sport seems to be a rather admissible definition. In the end though its not about the ISK, the ISK is secondary to my motives.
