mircea_popescu: not the math of affording a lawyer
mircea_popescu: well, so explain this math
Diablo-D3: math told me that.
mircea_popescu: <Diablo-D3> I cant do it alone, even if DMC could afford a lawyer, it needs to be multiple independent complaints and suits against him << who told you this tho ?
mircea_popescu: <gigavps> if you go back 10 pages in the gigamining thread, there were multiple people asking me to get a lawyer <<< lol
gigavps: whats the other email?
gigavps: PsychoticBoy that email is not in either of the lists i have received
Diablo-D3: I cant do it alone, even if DMC could afford a lawyer, it needs to be multiple independent complaints and suits against him
Diablo-D3: well, with DMC, Im going the route of telling my shareholders to go after GLBSE legally
PsychoticBoy: you can get this email first and check this one: flyingdutchmanbitcoinfund@gmail.com
gigavps: if you go back 10 pages in the gigamining thread, there were multiple people asking me to get a lawyer
Diablo-D3: gigavps: I find it strange you hired a lawyer though
gigavps: PsychoticBoy let me a least see if you are in the list
PsychoticBoy: thats the same info you got from glbse so that should be enough
pigeons: i like the guy on the forum who complained for a few pages and then at the end said, "does this mean my 2 shares of giga are gone?"
PsychoticBoy: nope wont happen gigavps, I can give you my email and btc address and that would be it
gigavps: PsychoticBoy please submit the information requested
gigavps: maybe we should use the last mpex trading price
PsychoticBoy: in the neightbourhoud of the last trade on glbse lets say 0.6 btc per bond and the outstanding div
gigavps: PsychoticBoy how do you propose we decide on the final buyback?
pigeons: seriously, how can he determine final buyback? ther is no last 15 days glbse
PsychoticBoy: I just want to recieve my outstanding div and final buyback
pigeons: someone stole your freenode password to threaten gigavps?
PsychoticBoy: I am man enough to say I did say it but thats not the case
mircea_popescu: <PsychoticBoy> I did not auth so everyone could have said that << ah come on.
PsychoticBoy: dont want to recieve the same email again with that .... story
gigavps: pm me you email and i'll be sure to have my lawyer contact you on monday
PsychoticBoy: If you send me the coins then
PsychoticBoy: I own lots (probably more than 100 bonds incl FDBF
gigavps: please submit the information requested, and you'll be paid
PsychoticBoy: I did not auth so everyone could have said that
PsychoticBoy: Should I get scarry? I dont think so
PsychoticBoy: no threads
gigavps: are you threating me now?
pigeons: it doesnt say last trade, it says last 15 days, glbse has been closed more than 15 days
PsychoticBoy: sure, keep talking shit, last trade on glbse was 0.78
pigeons: so he bought back your contract at 0, thanks nefario
pigeons: PsychoticBoy: last 15 days on glbse (which the words glbse are not in the contract for htat) is still 0
PsychoticBoy: last on mpex does not mean last on glbse as stated in contract, but beeside that no dividend etc
pigeons: ok so he paid you back then
pigeons: PsychoticBoy: how would he "pay you back"? at the mpex last 15 day price as the contract specifies?
PsychoticBoy: We all know who he really is so should be easier to hunt him than Trendon Shavers
PsychoticBoy: at this point gigavps is stealing our money, he took my money without any ID or such, so paying me back would also not require any ID or such
PsychoticBoy: I will invest as much btc a needed to...............
PsychoticBoy: he got 2 options: 1 pay up or 2 feel the consequences
PsychoticBoy: Fuck the SEC, gigavps stole my money
Chaang-Noi: if he buys them all back, and people are okay with the price that might work, im not sure
Chaang-Noi: he is changing the deal... that wont fly well, he should have just tried to keep the old one, and told people to deal with GLBSE...
Diablo-D3: what, if he buys back all the assets?
Chaang-Noi: might still be able to i mean
Chaang-Noi: i dont think giga got a lawyer as good as mine...
mircea_popescu: i dunno where people get the idea they will receive some replacement bond
Chaang-Noi: well i guess he is not letting the stuff trade...
Chaang-Noi: honestly im shocked giga is doing this
Chaang-Noi: i liked that dog barking quote
Namjies: Might achieve just the same thing, except it would be easier to manage for everyone and harder to evade.
Namjies: If a government is bent on providing services to the population and public infrastructure, I'd prefer it's budget be levied through a large property tax and luxury tax.
Namjies: Ah, income tax is annoying and complex. And too much exceptions and special cases.
Namjies: Ok, so no one is claiming them.
mircea_popescu: obviously we've talked about this.
mircea_popescu: Namjies nope. as in, won;'t claim them.
Namjies: Well Mircea, could you at least let me know if the person holding shares for you on GLBSE will claim them?

mircea_popescu: ;;google triple facepalm
mircea_popescu: November 21 Thanks for the suggestion. So far we have been pretty successful doing a bunch of transactions
mircea_popescu: MPOE-PR points him to the "wanna start a business thread"
mircea_popescu: November 20 Hey all, I am attempting to start a new business where people can buy and sell bitcoins easily and safely
mircea_popescu: no, what i'm saying is, this detail is not important, i could actually make the claim as well as they could.
Namjies: So they'd have to make the claim strictly for you...
Namjies: Especially if that person didn't hold shares strictly for you.
Namjies: As such I could simply claim with my signed statement from MPEx directly with that person, assuming that person will be making the claim.
Namjies: The claim has to be made associated with the BTC address provided to GLBSE.
Namjies: If you don't have an account, then it's the GLBSE account owner who technically has to make the claim. He was the one proxying for you who was proxying for the ETF holders.
Namjies: Or did you provide that, assuming Gigavps would pay without further requirements?
Namjies: Let me guess, you have not provided GLBSE an email & BTC address? As such you're not even on Gigavps's list to start with?
mircea_popescu: you can try, but gigamining would i imagine point out that it was assigned glbse shares, which is true.
mircea_popescu: Namjies you mean the contract as displayed on the etf ?
Namjies: GPG signed statements are technically valid legally and I have the signed contract and the signed statement.
mircea_popescu: jcpham hey i forgot to ask, did pirate pay ?
Namjies: 37Xish I think
mircea_popescu: it was you that had that spreadsheet i remember, no ?
mircea_popescu: didn;t you hold a bunch of giga on glbse too ? or am i confused
Namjies: I could always check with him if I can make a second claim for my interest in the ETF.
Namjies: Hmm... well Gigavps lawyer is in charge of this claim process and claims are sent to him.
mircea_popescu: the SPVs can go bankrupt without touching A or B, and also their assets are off-balancesheet
mircea_popescu: A makes SPV A1, B makes SPV B1, then B1 and A1 enter the contract
mircea_popescu: bank A wants to trade swap type X with bank B
mircea_popescu: spvs are these vehicles created in derivative trades rto insulate the parties
smickles: Namjies: thing is, as described, the giga.etf wasn't actually an etf
mircea_popescu: kinda the reason index funds outperform managed funds, that fee.
smickles: the etf contracts i've read don't explicitly mention the fee
Namjies: Could an ETF charge a management fee and assume all management/legal costs in their contract?
mircea_popescu: it's one of the earliest too.
Namjies: Hmm, but does this applies to all ETF or is it how ETF contracts are usually layed out?
mircea_popescu: easly granted that the contract is not the best.
smickles: and they do change
smickles: fees are totally shared by the etf holders, it's usually communicated by an expense ratio
Namjies: Well fine. I'd say so too. I don't believe it's fair to require you to incur the fee now required after GLBSE's fiasco. But the need for simple thing, I still say it doesn't excuse you would have required a proper contract where you had protective clauses for yourself.
mircea_popescu: i still think this is the correct way to make such a passthrough thing
mircea_popescu: that was the original idea, and for the very reason that anything else is too difficult to spell out in a contract.
