Wtf man, are you trolling?
The original question is legitimate and definitely not trolling. ICO donators have a right to know what the ARK team is doing with their donations. As one of three ARK escrow agents I am responsible for making that information available to the public.
At ARK management request, on Jan 6 Blazed and I together authorized the release of around 167 BTC from ICO (the remainder in the ICO BTC account after requested refunds) to cover ARK team expenses until launch. At the time of this Jan 6 disbursement, the requested withdrawal was within the "80% of all ICO funds gathered will be held in escrow until launch, up to 20% will be available for pre-launch use" rule ARK had in place with its escrow agents. (Since then, the value of BTC has gone up and the value of Lisk has gone down). This withdrawal was made from the escrow-controlled ICO BTC account 3A8TEQ9dNPnJyG3BHyNERPbgZpE5DqvFeY to the ARK-controlled BTC account 356xnT1xFW89d4jSBww7QSiTELnuePLknW. This withdrawal puts the ARK ICO BTC account balance at zero and so ARK has no further escrowed BTC funds available to them in the future.
The blockchain record for ARK ICO Bitcoins distributed after Jan 6 is available for inspection at
https://blockchain.info/address/356xnT1xFW89d4jSBww7QSiTELnuePLknW. Of the 167 BTC transferred from escrow to this ARK account, around 140 BTC remain. Details of how the other 27 or so ICO BTC have been used are known only to ARK management, not me.
ARK ICO donations of Lisk after refunds are roughly 4.7M Lisk, currently worth around $650K. These Lisk funds are still under escrow and no Lisk has been released to ARK control other than requested refunds. I will not release any of the ICO Lisk until after ARK launch. However, at ARK team request I have authorized delegates votes made by this Lisk account, and so 14 ARK members are forging Lisk in their own personal accounts (along with 5 pools) using ARK vote support added to their previous support from others.
Note that unlike with the BTC account, MinerJones and Blazed have no escrow second-signature authority over the Lisk account, only me. I am not an official member of the ARK team, only an escrow agent for them.
To summarize, ARK has cashed out around 167 BTC and appears to have around 140 BTC remaining worth around $140K under their full control. ARK also has in escrow about 4.7M Lisk worth around $650K to fund their future efforts.
With no lock-out period and around $800K in available assets, the 125 million ARK coins to be issued should have a "fundamentals value" of 800,000 USD/125,000,000 ARK = 0.0064 USD per ARK at launch on the exchanges. Lisk funds may be monitored at
