based on DeaDTerra's recent post, there was mention of using the transaction fees or some other kickbacks to pay DeaDTerra.
I don't have much time at the moment, so a more proper answer will be given later today.
No I am not getting a direct profit from this PT,
It's a favor to Jon (BF owner) for helping me out in the past.
We discussed a potential payment from Jon, in the case where the PT trades larger volumes,
Other then that I am doing it for free.
I have talked to Friedcat, he's aware of what I am doing and what my intention are.
He has said that he has no problem with the PT as long as he only has responsibility to the direct share holders aka Me,
And I then in return have a responsibility to the indirect share holders aka any share holder or G.ASICMINER-PT.
The shares are indeed transferred over to me and then a equal amount of shares are created and sent to that person.
So I have not sold any of GBF shares, nor any of my own.
It's simply a pass through to enable people to sell and buy shares.

As you can see, deadterra stated that should the asset become a burden, a thank you payment (and honestly no amount was ever discussed or promised) MAY be offered as a thank you for agreeing to the management of an asset to help the community.
When we began the discussion of creating an ASCIMINER pass-through to assist shareholders due to the lack of an exchange, we both decided that the main focus was to offer a method of trade without concerns of fees to nickle and dime them to use it, so that more users would feel comfortable doing such and relying less on friedcat to have to constantly manage transfers.
So as it stands, there are currently no "kickbacks" of any amount promised in regards to BitFunder.
You are simply reading more into it than there is.
I see no issue with a PT wanting to have a dividends fee on what is expected to be one of the highest paying assets.
Although I think transfer fees may be a bit overkill when coupled with that fee, but that is my opinion.
I am not sure how I feel about the exchange operator managing assets. This is an issue I currently argue with myself over.
If you are buying the shares, i.e. they are your shares to sell, you should be allowed to sell at whatever price you want.
You are only competing with other users who might transfer shares shares in.
Though, your delay on including transferred shares until March 11th does help that a bit.
If you are using 'investor' funds to buy shares and not your own, you probably should sell them at face value without loss unless the exact profit amounts were provided to the investors beforehand.
That though, depends on proof of cost.
