Let's see if I can clear up some of those questions:
1. Hard to expand in safe space.
Very true. Can't argue with that at all. Neonicus is building on his standings, but these things take time - which is why I hired someone to do it for me originally. As things stand the business has been running for 2 days, I'd rather have a little bit longer under my belt before looking to expand.
2. The IPO cash is going where?
The original bit I wrote about covering collaterol personally has been altered. It was pointed out to me that it would be incredibly difficult to provide a paper trail for such a system, so I personally dumped several hundred mil of my own cash into the slush fund. I could have afforded to run this whole thing on my own, but that brings me to the next question...
3. Raise investor confidence? WHY GOD WHY?
Barbicane kind of nailed it. I'd like a reputation... a good one. Plus, not everything in EVE is about ISK. It's a game and so far I found this whole deal to be quite fun. Level4 and Fitzmaurice have been fantastic and have made me chuckle plenty. Recent scams have hit this side of the game hard, and many "little guys" have lost out. I see alot of people moaning they lost 200mil, but they can earn that back in a couple of hours - but it's the guys who lost 20 and it will take them alot longer to earn it back that need to be shown that there are trustworthy people. I like this side of the game, I think it's going to grow rapidly and it's largely thanks to folks like O'Mara and ISS. Too many lotteries and other share schemes seem to require large investments, this one tops out at 5mil which is cheaper than some cruisers. Had a chat with EMFI about this last night, he wanted to invest but wanted more than the 1k shares - I said no because the LAST thing I wanted this to be was a footnote, despite the great things EMFI have done.
4. Will you be listed on EGSE?
This should be listed on EGSE soon. I think I'm in the queue to be entered.
5. Are any shares left?
No idea. I'm at work! For anyone who I've already said I've set some aside for I'll hold on until Tuesday to be paid. FOr those who've sent ISK I'll send you shares back, unless they were all taken by people who paid before you, in which case I'll refund you.
Hopefully that will have put some minds at ease :)

I think we're slightly overstimating the effect that a scam can have on someone's game life.
I don't think we're overestimating, if anything victims are overstating the effect. Alot of emotions and threats of quitting get thrown around in the wake of a big scam.
This is getting a little off topic now, I'd appreciate it if further discussions of scamming weren't held in my IPO thread :) lol

All shares have been sent to everyone who's paid.
9,000 shares remain - all of which have been booked but haven't been paid for.
7,000 to 7 guys from the traders lounge who have until Tuesday to pay before I release them to the next in line.
Incendiary Lover & Dasumae are the two with the other 2k. Again, until Tuesday to pay or they fall to the next folks inline on this thread.
So thats it, all done. Thanks to everyone for posting in here, sorry to Barbicane for not being clearer - will do better in future.
