I have not been publishing DATAC updates over the past couple of weeks because there is an issue which is affecting our RP yields.
Was this issue occurring before the latest batch of share sales and not disclosed, or did it show up more recently?

RD agents have been giving out corrupted missions that prevent you from receiving the extra RP for that day.
Actually, it has been my experience that if you accept those broken missions, you can immediately "finish" it and you do get the bonus rp's.

The petition for this issue was filed 3 weeks prior to the release of Trinity.
A response was received from a GM approx 2 weeks after the original petition was filed. The responses of the two GMs that have looked at the issue were neither helpful nor informative. As such I requested that the issue be escalated to a Senior GM. It has now been a full month since I requested the issue be escalated and I have not recieved any further response.
The reason that this issue was not previously revealed to investors was because CCP had previously resolved this issue many times before and had given me every reason to beleive that it would have been resolved again. I am most displeased with an as yet unexplained change in how CCP is handling this issue.
So you are saying there was a problem with the datacore yields that had happened before and had been corrected, but this time you had to escalate the issue --- meaning something was different? And this escalation was at the same time as the latest share sale was pitched where you basically led everyone to believe all was rosy, ME sale prices notwithstanding?
Am I the only one here that feels this should have been disclosed to prospective investors at the time of the latest sale? I can understand you not being able to disclose the details, but this was a definite risk and should have been communicated as such. I can't believe everyone is quite so optimistic that the GM's will always do the right thing when an issue occurs.

If I'm reading right then it's an issue that's happened a couple times before and CCP has always been quick on the draw to fix it, except this time quite a while has passed and now they're being less than helpful. If it's something that's historically been fixed quickly without issue then there's no reason to get everyone worked up over and potentially lose investors and therefor ISK to get more characters up and running, and slowing down profitability for existing investors.
First off, I'm not implying anything malicious here. I'm not insinuating that Matalino is trying to scam; I'm just saying he should have given full disclosure when he came looking for additional funding.
Yes, it had happened before and had been quickly addressed in the past without any need to notify shareholders. But that changed when they deviated from the norm, when he had to escalate to a senior GM for resolution.
He chose a reverse auction format to maximize funding per share. I bought in at a higher price giving up future gain. I did that knowing the mech core market was on a down swing but believing he was hedged against that risk. There was an issue that he was not at full production due to a game bug. Even if the GM's ultimately restore the lost datacores, time will be against him; he will have to sell them at the then price and receiving a likely lower average price. This was most definitely a material risk to his business and should have been disclosed when he came looking for new funding.
I'm not trying to crucify the OP here or asking for my isk back. The goal of this forum from what I have been reading is to improve this part of the game and identify best practices. Full disclosure is every bit as important as communication, in my opinion.

Are you planning to create more accounts? If so, do you have an understanding with the GM's that if and when this occurs again, they will quickly do whatever they did to fix it again?
