And how can I just "go away" when you've made some very serious (lol) accusations against me and I now have to defend myself?
Quoting just in case it mysteriously vanishes.
That is annoying and stupid.
Look, you have been caught in several lies about me. Now you're upset I've collected (some of) them in one place, so you say you want to "take the gloves off"? WTF? Look you have been lying about me, I have a right to be upset at you. All I did was provide links to your actual quotes and summarize my responses to them. What is your problem? Stop being such a liar and jerk.

"You've said a few times in this thread that EVERYTHING you had was invested on GLBSE - yet that isn't actually true is it?"
During the times BMF had hardware on order I had never failed to mention that. A shareholder motion was created over the issue of buying hardware. I made a very public series of posts about it. I never once tried to hide the fact we had a small amount of hardware. I mentioned it several times in PM to various creditors.
Will you please stop lying about me? Just GO AWAY.
Well let's address this one out of sequence as you seem to think it has some special merit. Pretty sure you're just misunderstanding what I was saying.
In the thread where I made that post you had repeatedly said that ALL the assets of your companies were tied up on GLBSE.
I was point out that THAT claim (that ALL your assets was on GLBSE) was a lie - as you had (or claimed to have) mining rigs or orders for the same. At no stage did I claim you'd never claimed to have mining gear - that would be pretty dumb of me as my evidence that you DID have them was from your own posts and spreadsheets. Again - my statement referred ONLY to what you'd said in that thread.
So: let's try to identify what specifically you believe I was wrong about.
1. DO you agree that in that thread you said ALL the assets of your company were on GLBSE?
2. Were your mining rigs (or orders for them) on GLBSE?
3. Were the mining rigs (or orders for them) assets?
4. Was your claim (in that thread) that all assets were on GLBSE therefore untrue?
5. Is it fair for me to reasonably assume that you might KNOW you had the mining rigs (or orders for them)?
6 If you know something but make a statement to the contrary is it fair for an observer to conclude you're doing so intentionally - i.e. lieing?
7. Remind me where there's any merit in your claim that it was ME lieing?
We have an example of a high volume posting troll being banned in Rarity ... I wonder if Usagi is nearing that territory.
It is easily observable that Usagi is not attempting to contribute in the community and visits the forum strictly to stir up shit. Similar to Rarity.
The tipping point I believe with Rarity was bringing false scammer claim up against Dank. Similarly Usagi is making baseless and malicious accusations here.

It is ironic that it is actually you who are spamming the forums: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1349642
you posted this twice.
I am here to offer loans for kongzi.ca. I am here to sell my guitar and amp and repay CPA loan holders. I am here to deal with the GLBSE fiasco and return investors assets to them. I am here to buy and sell things and conduct business on the goods and services forum. Such as looking for a manga artist for my book. I am not here to stir up shit by defending myself against your shit stirring.
Who the fuck are you Ian? You're someone who lied and defrauded me. Go away. Stop following me around like a sick puppy. If you don't want to apologize for lying about me and saying I was trying to clawback funds fine, but just stop lying about me.
One of many:
1. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1235273
"Wants the shareholders to be paid in an attempt to claw back, as they hold some BAKEWELL shares that would get the divvy."
The contract clearly stated the money would be returned to shareholders. Read the thread, people were agreeing with me. In fact in the post you yourself quote the very first response I give you is that a refund to you is not possible because the contract will protect the shareholders. I stuck to the contract. That was not an attempt to claw back funds. You lied about me.
All I want.. do you hear me.. is for you to stop lying about me. Just go away. We have no business or other relationship. Why do you keep bothering me? I returned the money to your shareholders as per our contract. Whats your problem?
If you are so intent that I held 423 shares of BAKEWELL, why don't you refund those bitcoins to me right now?
Are you going to suddenly claim I do not hold 423 shares of BAKEWELL?
I want to be left alone.
There's a very easy way to accomplish this.
I know you don't really like me, but you don't go around saying I have stolen 7000 BTC (etc). Do you see why I am upset at some of the trolls here? I am sorry if you don't like me. But I don't want people to lie about me.

This is pathetic usagi.
I want to be left alone. I am tired of people claiming I have commited fraud, that I am under investigation by the government, that I am a con artist, that my businesses were created with the intent to deceive people, and with people like badbear trolling simple little threads like when I announce that I am opening a new service.
Stop lying about me.
I have demonstrated that I have lost money and business because of this shit. Leave me alone.
This is pathetic usagi.
Usagi. I outed you as a scammer after your first post about CPA (if that was what your "insurance" scheme was called). Can't find that thread now... hmmm....
You might include my initial accusation in the history. I would like to be able to claim first dibs on ruining your reputation. You are ruining my reputation as prophet.
After all, I called you a scammer before you had even collected any money. You only had to open your mouth and your plans were already transparent to me.
PS I am still waiting for the money to show up in my account so that I can begin 'working' for you.

Badbear in particular has said I am a scummy fuck because of what others have said about me.
No - he didn't say it because of what others said. He said it because you ARE a scummy fuck.
If and when I get time I'll respond to each and every of the points made about me specifically - purely for the amusement factor not because there's any chance of your complaint being taken seriously. What I'll do is make a seperate post for each point you raised (in the order you raised them - so there's no basis for accusing me of dodging the "hard" ones. Then when we've exhausted debating that point we can see what opinion is on who's right on that point and move on to the next.
Should keep us busy - and everyone else amused - for a good few weeks
So far I've played nice - think it might be time to take off the gloves.
BTW, haven't checked yet (as I'm kind of busy) - but are the references to an ID on rec.martial.arts anything to do with the Oliver whatveer identity that you a few days back stated wasn't you? Would be hilarious if so - but I guess even you wouldn't be dumb enough to claim an identity in this thread that you'd explicitly denied was yours just last week. That's not an accusation - I seriously haven't checked and don't know.
What's all this about "criminal" "law" and "definitions"?
Sounds pretty statist to me. Are you a statist, OP? The free hand of the market will not be reigned in by your so called "laws" .

Failure to do so means you have committed fraud, and deserve at the least a scammer tag.
Two minutes ago you say I didn't make the list and now I deserve a scammer tag?
Now I am sure you are delusional. I think you need help (seriously).
By the way how do you respond to the fact you said maged agreed that I was swindling people? All he said was I made dishonest statements (and this was never actually shown).
Dishonest statements, defrauding people, swindling are all excellent descriptions of your business models (do you really want to nitpick on the definition of every single word). Unfortunately nobody can read up on how you do business, because you deleted over 1000 posts. Which is a fraudulent act in itself in my book.
Further to that you outright claim I swindled people with fraudulent business schemed (see section DEEPLINK item 4 in OP). How do you respond to this? Because you haven't responded the last 5 times I asked you for an explanation (see recent "falsifying NAV" thread).
How do I respond to my own claim? I agree with it.
You cannot make such claims without proof, especially when I have provided plausable explainations. To do so is to commit fraud.
1. You MUST show how I have swindled people and show that actual people exist who have been swindled.
2. You MUST show which of my businesses were fraudulent (i.e. were created out of an intent to decieve for financial gain). In doing so you must also show the financial gain.
Failure to do so means you have committed fraud, and deserve at the least a scammer tag.
Why?
Because you defrauded me out of potential business, defrauded me by injuring my reputation. I've already demonstrated, documented at least three direct financial losses I experienced as a result of statements similar to yours. You cannot be allowed to make such statements without providing proof that they are true. I demand you show that I swindled money and that I engaged in fraudulent business practices, or failing that I demand you receive a scammer tag so that no one else is ever fooled by your bullshit again.
You are not here to do business. You are here solely to commit fraud.

Wow nice, usagi vs. the world. Wait till I get some more popcorn.
No, usagi versus the same 5-6 people over and over and over. Although you yourself were pretty close to making the list, I don't believe you are a troll, just argumentative over things you believe strongly about (like SLOC).
Those people exposing your bad businesses should receive honor badges.
Not applying for one myself, but if I am not on your list, why am I in the OP?

Following is extremely important info which directly relates to my character and whether or not I deserve a scammer tag. This is important info. I will update it over time. As you may guess it is extremely time consuming to collect information like this. I've spent several hours on this and the OP already.

"What is all the fuss about? Seriously, seems like a few trolls wanted to ruin usagi."
Bullshit. The onus is always on the buyer/investor/business partner to seek their own independent advice. What do you think the requirements for product disclosure statements and prospectuses, partnership agreements and the like are all about? You're supposed to read them and obtain independent advice before making an investment - it's not someone else's fault if you don't do your due diligence.
If you were blatantly lied to and there is no way that appropriate due diligence could have revealed the lie, then you can start talking about "entrapment", but being too lazy to do your homework doesn't and shouldn't excuse you from the consequences of bad decisions.
I am sorry for the interference.
It is becoming obvious that an organized campaign is in place against you. The lack of consistent evidence from the accusers is overwhelming.

-----
Partial Retraction: I have decided to retract non-forum complaints (especially those against Mircea Popescu for rating me -10 on OTC purely out of malice). This is just out of a personal belief the forum should not be used for non-forum bitcoin complaints. Secondly, the truth is that Mircea/MPOE-PR while I don't like them, don't really make it their life's purpose to slander me. It's okay not to like me and to voice that. This isn't about trying to change people's personal opinion about me. This is about people accusing me of committing a crime I am not guilty for.
-----
I allege the following people have deceived and defrauded me, my companies, and various investors on this forum.
1. Puppet
2. Deprived
3. EskimoBob
4. deeplink
Lesser to the above are:
4. Guruvan
5. Ian Bakewell
First; what is fraud, exactly?
In criminal law, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual.
Therefore if I can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
a) an intentional deception was made
b) for personal gain or to damage another individual
then the named parties ARE GUILTY OF FRAUD and DESERVE A SCAMMER TAG.
What do I want? I want a scammer tag for every person named in this report OR a full apology made on this thread OR I want to be left alone; in short, stop lying about me, and stop taking potshots against me in unrelated threads. What I really want is to be left alone. I'm tired of these bullshit accusations. I would much rather do something positive and add value to the community. It is time wasting and energy draining to respond to these trolls.
Many people have said I should not respond to trolls. This is a dangerous assumption. Look at what maged and badbear, both high level forum mods, have said about me. Badbear in particular has said I am a scummy fuck because of what others have said about me. He inserts himself into threads he has no business in to slander me and troll me. If we assume his intentions are good then badbear and maged are prime examples of why I cannot ignore these trolls and must make a full response. Because the actions of these people is wrong and irresponsible and causes me direct financial damage, despite there being no actual proof I am a scammer. In fact, if you look at reports from my actual customers such as PsychoticBoy (see post #2 below) you will see I did my job and there were no real complaints.
Although it is difficult for me to remember exact times and dates, I will provide references where I can.
What is the minimum limit of my demonstrable financial loss?
1. EskimoBob intentionally broke a contract that he agreed to seven times on IRC. Although Maged said EskimoBob should not recieve a scammer tag for this, without exception everyone who was present in the IRC channel who chose to speak out about it on EskimoBob's accusation thread agreed that he broke his contract and should recieve a scammer tag.
Further to this, in the accusation EskimoBob viciously attacked me and attempted to obfuscate the situation by counter-accusing me of being a scammer and (!!!) Maged seemed to agree that I had made dishonest statements.
As a direct result of these trolls, I experienced a demonstratable financial loss; One, Ian Bakewell (and likely BitcoinMiningINV) canceled their contracts with CPA.
Secondly, I had lost business in an unrelated transaction on the services forum whereby I needed someone to buy something for me online, and they made reference to that thread and Maged's comments. I also likely (although unprovably) lost business which I would have otherwise gained had EskimoBob and Maged not allowed that thread to derail.
See the IAN BAKEWELL section below for where Ian admits that as a direct result of this thread and Maged's comments I was caused a direct financial loss.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1230191
"It is very clear that usagi has been posting misleading statements. It may not be enough for a scammer tag, but it's pretty damn close" Notably, Maged has NEVER, EVER, EVER responded to any call to state exactly what dishonest statements I have made.
it is WELL KNOWN that these people are trolls and liars:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1260865 (among many other such posts)
POINT ONE: I have been damaged by EskimoBob's comments.
POINT TWO: There is absolutely no question that I have been damaged by other people's comments, such as puppet, deprived, and deeplink; these people have accused me of various things, none of which has ever been proven true. In short they lied. They had an intent to defame me, in order to defraud investors in CPA.
The oddest thing about all of this is that throughtout this entire event, MPOE-PR/Mircea Popescu and EskimoBob were both invested in my companies. Mircea in particular copied my business model (no, he did not invent the CDO, he copied what I did 6 weeks after he saw I was successful at it) and used my own CDO as a basis for his; he invested in at least 100 shares of NYAN.A.
examples where eb states he was holding my companies all along:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1343097
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1343590
(mircea's use of nyan.a was published on his blog, I don't have a link handy sorry).
I will now outline (some of) the many damaging statements and lies the people named above have stated. This is VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION because it demonstrates that LIES have been told about me; I have therefore proven that ALL OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE CLEARLY COMMITTED FRAUD.
ESKIMOBOB.
Warning. EskimoBob's "ART" security was delisted and he was banned from #assets-otc for life. EskimoBob is a known troublemaker.
0. EskimoBob slandered me on OTC: http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=Usagi&sign=ANY&type=RECV

"...long history of trolling. "
If you do not know what happened on rec.martial-arts, don't make a fool of yourself. Not a troll.
Oh, so you really want to drag up my past history? I was invited to the private neijia mailing list run by M.S. and I have had several discussions with M.S. I wrote the chi faq:http://renli.wordpress.com/chi-faq/ and this is why I was attacked so hard on R.M-A. Over the years the forum became populated by people who did MMA and visciously attacked anyone who did kung fu. Especially tai chi. Although not everyone was a bad apple usenet is full of professional trolls. i was called a troll merely because I did tai chi. That is the whole story. Want to talk about my outrageous claims? Such as like China would get an aircraft carrier in 2012? No one believed me. I live here. I know. But I was attacked for what I said. My entire history on r.m-a was basically trying to get people to realize tai chi was not about shooting chi balls out of your ass. Go read the Chi FAQ and decide for yourself if I believe I can shoot chi balls out my ass. I do not wish to discuss r.m-a and if you think it's an issue, go post about it on r.m-a. I did martial arts for over 20 years. I consider myself retired. If you are interested in martial arts you should probably respect my experience on the subject. I am not saying I cannot be wrong. I am saying martial arts has nothing to do with bitcoin and not everyone always agrees. The arguments stemmed from the fact everyone did different styles of martial arts and couldn't stop bickering and trolling about it. The end.

"A brief time-line for BMF - an investment company (mis)managed by usagi. This is relevant to set the scene. ... Obviously usagi then went and did precisely what it had said it wouldn't do"
This is a lie. It was not obvious; Deprived has no reasonable grounds to make that statement and then accuse me of having a nefarious intent.
2. (ibid)
"Oh really? Where? This is a blatant lie. There is no publicity and no motion prior to the post announcing it as a done deal."
The contract was: announced in the securities forum, was published on the company website, and was mentioned in a shareholder letter. It was also discussed on the CPA round table to which DeadTerra, Patrick Harnett, mollison and several others had access. Everyone knew about it. What Deprived said was a lie designed to defame me.
3. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1229843

I never once tried to hide the fact we had a small amount of hardware. I mentioned it several times in PM to various creditors.

"You base your NAV claims on the (un)"real" column and there it still shows your BFL gear at prices way above listprice. ... You are still valuing your ABM shares as if their non upgradable BFL single would somehow be worth 375 BTC."
The "real" colum was discussed many times to represent book value. I added a second colum which pulled share prices off the GLBSE. Puppet failed to acknowledge this, and the numerous disclaimers in the spreadsheet (including showing the formulas used). Secondly, ABM was WORTH that much (0.4/share, IIRC), which shows Puppet was flip flopping in his accusations, as the substance of his complaint was that I was overvaluing shares compared to their GLBSE price.

When I first met usagi, I thought it was an idiot. When it made CPA, I was pretty sure it was a crook. Now that we're starting to look more deeply into the books, I'm quite certain that usagi is a crook.
1. Manipulating held asset value
2. Mind-bogglingly stupid investment decisions that are likely obfuscated attempts to inject funds into the multi-headed ponzi scheme being run
3. Hiding losses through manipulated asset value
4. Double dealing (the BMF-CPA contract is probably criminal in most jurisdictions)
5. Attempts to silence critics - the volume and hysteria has grown the closer to the truth people investigating usagi have gotten.
6. misrepresenting physical asset value
7. apparently representing expenses as assets
8. Has silently defaulted on contracts between its own companies. Apparently failed to notify shareholders of both companies the default.
9. Apparently manipulating shareholder motion votes
10. Manipulation of share prices
"
A large collection of lies by Guruvan. None of what he has said has ever been proven. He has stated that I have done this but provided no proof. All of these points have been discussed to death and I am guilty of none of them. Silently defaulting for example -- Umm, no, read the contract. Has been discussed numerous times.

"I'm sure the deletion of posts is in response to the likely investigation by major governments' securities regulating agencies (SEC/FSA) - wouldn't want to leave any evidence lying around"
I am not under investigation by the government. it is a criminal offense to state that someone is under investigation for a crime when they are not. Guruvan has committed fraud and should be labled as a scammer.
In fact this has been shown not to be the case beyond a reasonable doubt. If I was under investigation for AML or something, Nefario would almost certainly be prohibited from releasing shareholder information to me. The fact I have received YARR holder's e-mails and addresses implies I am not under investigation. Not that he had any proof in the first place.

The case against Ian is long. Ian lied to me about his financial position in BAKEWELL and asked me to reduce his payment. A few days later he said he had to break the contract.
He then tried to drag my name thru the mud. Read the above link. it's quite clear I stuck to my contract and he was a total asshole to me. here are some of the lies he told about me:
"Wants the shareholders to be paid in an attempt to claw back, as they hold some BAKEWELL shares that would get the divvy."
Irelevant. The contract clearly stated the money would be returned to shareholders. Read the thread, people were agreeing with me.
2. (ibid)
"I do want the money back, my shareholders do agree, please pay: 1Q1k2uTUZ1ZSSufH2w9xnCnPPzC1QmreEa"

"I make all my financials available in the third post of my thread & I try to stay as current as possible."
Ian did not disclose for several weeks that he could not get his 7990's to work, thereby defrauding investors in his company who were lied to in order that Ian could get more BTC from sale of shares.
6. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1231746
In this post Ian presents himself as a scammer. Read the post.
A rough summary is as follows:
a. Ian says:
"In the time between founding BAKEWELL and creating the shareholder insurance fund with you, and now, the plan for BAKEWELL has dramatically changed.
BAKEWELL is a much smaller company than I initially thought I would launch with. We will continue to grow, but on a slow roll out basis.
At this time, the dividends from BAKEWELL will not cover the funds fee. As such I am not able to continue with it at this time.
I will be utilizing the small dividend I receive to aggressively grow BAKEWELL until the first half of the ipo is sold out.
I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.
The fund currently has 4 BTC in it.
I would like to work out a refund of this from you, less a small management fee.
I would then like to restart this with a larger initial contribution and a payment plan based on dividend income once half of my ipo is cleared out."
b. I immediately respond:
"Working out a refund is not possible because this is an agreement designed to protect your shareholders in case of a default on your end."
c. Ian responds he is aware he CAN NOT cancel the contract in this way:
"I am aware of the contract clauses, particularly A4 and section D."\
d. He gets caught in the lie here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1232050
e. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1236142
In this post Ian threatens to drag my name in the mud if I do not accquiesce to his demands of a refund (in violation of the contract he signed, and despite point c. where he states he is aware he may not cancel the contract).
f. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1236180
In this post Ian once again states that the "single largest factor" in losing his business was the troll threads. This is in sharp contrast to his statement in a).
In short, Ian committed fraud; he defrauded CPA, he lied in order to cancel his contract in full knowledge he could not do this and he attempted to slander me on the forums in order to get out of his contract. This is a clear case of fraud.
-----
Partial Retraction: I have decided to retract non-forum complaints (especially those against Mircea Popescu for rating me -10 on OTC purely out of malice). This is just out of a personal belief the forum should not be used for non-forum bitcoin complaints. Secondly, the truth is that Mircea/MPOE-PR while I don't like them, don't really make it their life's purpose to slander me. It's okay not to like me and to voice that. This isn't about trying to change people's personal opinion about me. This is about people accusing me of committing a crime I am not guilty for.
-----
I allege the following people have deceived and defrauded me, my companies, and various investors on this forum.
1. Puppet
2. Deprived
3. EskimoBob
4. deeplink
Lesser to the above are:
4. Guruvan
5. Ian Bakewell
First; what is fraud, exactly?
In criminal law, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual.
Therefore if I can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
a) an intentional deception was made
b) for personal gain or to damage another individual
then the named parties ARE GUILTY OF FRAUD and DESERVE A SCAMMER TAG.
What do I want? I want a scammer tag for every person named in this report OR a full apology made on this thread OR I want to be left alone; in short, stop lying about me, and stop taking potshots against me in unrelated threads. What I really want is to be left alone. I'm tired of these bullshit accusations. I would much rather do something positive and add value to the community. It is time wasting and energy draining to respond to these trolls.
Many people have said I should not respond to trolls. This is a dangerous assumption. Look at what maged and badbear, both high level forum mods, have said about me. Badbear in particular has said I am a scummy fuck because of what others have said about me. He inserts himself into threads he has no business in to slander me and troll me. If we assume his intentions are good then badbear and maged are prime examples of why I cannot ignore these trolls and must make a full response. Because the actions of these people is wrong and irresponsible and causes me direct financial damage, despite there being no actual proof I am a scammer. In fact, if you look at reports from my actual customers such as PsychoticBoy (see post #2 below) you will see I did my job and there were no real complaints.
Although it is difficult for me to remember exact times and dates, I will provide references where I can.
What is the minimum limit of my demonstrable financial loss?
1. EskimoBob intentionally broke a contract that he agreed to seven times on IRC. Although Maged said EskimoBob should not recieve a scammer tag for this, without exception everyone who was present in the IRC channel who chose to speak out about it on EskimoBob's accusation thread agreed that he broke his contract and should recieve a scammer tag.
Further to this, in the accusation EskimoBob viciously attacked me and attempted to obfuscate the situation by counter-accusing me of being a scammer and (!!!) Maged seemed to agree that I had made dishonest statements.
As a direct result of these trolls, I experienced a demonstratable financial loss; One, Ian Bakewell (and likely BitcoinMiningINV) canceled their contracts with CPA.
Secondly, I had lost business in an unrelated transaction on the services forum whereby I needed someone to buy something for me online, and they made reference to that thread and Maged's comments. I also likely (although unprovably) lost business which I would have otherwise gained had EskimoBob and Maged not allowed that thread to derail.
See the IAN BAKEWELL section below for where Ian admits that as a direct result of this thread and Maged's comments I was caused a direct financial loss.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1230191
"It is very clear that usagi has been posting misleading statements. It may not be enough for a scammer tag, but it's pretty damn close" Notably, Maged has NEVER, EVER, EVER responded to any call to state exactly what dishonest statements I have made.
it is WELL KNOWN that these people are trolls and liars:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1260865 (among many other such posts)
POINT ONE: I have been damaged by EskimoBob's comments.
POINT TWO: There is absolutely no question that I have been damaged by other people's comments, such as puppet, deprived, and deeplink; these people have accused me of various things, none of which has ever been proven true. In short they lied. They had an intent to defame me, in order to defraud investors in CPA.
The oddest thing about all of this is that throughtout this entire event, MPOE-PR/Mircea Popescu and EskimoBob were both invested in my companies. Mircea in particular copied my business model (no, he did not invent the CDO, he copied what I did 6 weeks after he saw I was successful at it) and used my own CDO as a basis for his; he invested in at least 100 shares of NYAN.A.
examples where eb states he was holding my companies all along:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1343097
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1343590
(mircea's use of nyan.a was published on his blog, I don't have a link handy sorry).
I will now outline (some of) the many damaging statements and lies the people named above have stated. This is VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION because it demonstrates that LIES have been told about me; I have therefore proven that ALL OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE CLEARLY COMMITTED FRAUD.
ESKIMOBOB.
Warning. EskimoBob's "ART" security was delisted and he was banned from #assets-otc for life. EskimoBob is a known troublemaker.
@EskimoBob you asset has just been desisted from #assets-otc and you will never be allowed to list any assets at this service.

"Your sample textbook pages include too much English. I am a consumer of language texts. As a consumer, I reject offerings that are full of English language. "
This is in reference to the sample PDFs available at http://kongzi.ca/wtj -- anyone looking at the textbook samples can see that the pages contain mostly Japanese. He intentionally lied to make people think my books were bad, to discredit me, to defraud me from business people would have otherwise given me.

No, just because I have been around for a while does not mean I have a long history in scamming. Where the heck did he get that from?

"You must have pulled a lot of scams to have to change your identity so many times. Did any of your scams succeed?"
Been around for 20+ years. I don't use the same alias all the time. Doesn't mean a thing. No need to repeatedly claim I am a scammer because I use different handles on different forums.

"A brief time-line for BMF - an investment company (mis)managed by usagi. This is relevant to set the scene. ... Obviously usagi then went and did precisely what it had said it wouldn't do"
This is a lie. It was not obvious; Deprived has no reasonable grounds to make that statement and then accuse me of having a nefarious intent.
2. (ibid)
"Oh really? Where? This is a blatant lie. There is no publicity and no motion prior to the post announcing it as a done deal."
The contract was: announced in the securities forum, was published on the company website, and was mentioned in a shareholder letter. It was also discussed on the CPA round table to which DeadTerra, Patrick Harnett, mollison and several others had access. Everyone knew about it. What Deprived said was a lie designed to defame me.
3. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1229843
"As neither BMF or CPA accounts for actual transactions (just a fairy-tale valuation) there's no way to know."
I have said many times I will provide details of transactions if there is any problem. It's called a CSV file.

"usagi has consistently refused to answer questions about what the insurance policy covered and why there was no claim on it"

"2. "All of my shareholders are happy." is not supported by the facts."
It was supported by several shareholder motions and discussions which I had with shareholders in PM.

The vote was announced in a BMF thread. What he said was intentionally misleading.

"This is also when usagi started defrauding nyan investors (which I never got around to posting about) by making interest free loans to CPA (dressed up as holding YARR shares for the books)."
No interest-free loans were ever made to CPA.

"You've said a few times in this thread that EVERYTHING you had was invested on GLBSE - yet that isn't actually true is it?"
During the times BMF had hardware on order I had never failed to mention that. A shareholder motion was created over the issue of buying hardware. I made a very public series of posts about it. I never once tried to hide the fact we had a small amount of hardware. I mentioned it several times in PM to various creditors.

"You base your NAV claims on the (un)"real" column and there it still shows your BFL gear at prices way above listprice. ... You are still valuing your ABM shares as if their non upgradable BFL single would somehow be worth 375 BTC."
The "real" colum was discussed many times to represent book value. I added a second colum which pulled share prices off the GLBSE. Puppet failed to acknowledge this, and the numerous disclaimers in the spreadsheet (including showing the formulas used). Secondly, ABM was WORTH that much (0.4/share, IIRC), which shows Puppet was flip flopping in his accusations, as the substance of his complaint was that I was overvaluing shares compared to their GLBSE price.

"The more evidence I see, the more convinced I am that usagi is not incompetent but is acting with the criminal intent to steal funds from investors
When I first met usagi, I thought it was an idiot. When it made CPA, I was pretty sure it was a crook. Now that we're starting to look more deeply into the books, I'm quite certain that usagi is a crook.
1. Manipulating held asset value
2. Mind-bogglingly stupid investment decisions that are likely obfuscated attempts to inject funds into the multi-headed ponzi scheme being run
3. Hiding losses through manipulated asset value
4. Double dealing (the BMF-CPA contract is probably criminal in most jurisdictions)
5. Attempts to silence critics - the volume and hysteria has grown the closer to the truth people investigating usagi have gotten.
6. misrepresenting physical asset value
7. apparently representing expenses as assets
8. Has silently defaulted on contracts between its own companies. Apparently failed to notify shareholders of both companies the default.
9. Apparently manipulating shareholder motion votes
10. Manipulation of share prices
"
A large collection of lies by Guruvan. None of what he has said has ever been proven. He has stated that I have done this but provided no proof. All of these points have been discussed to death and I am guilty of none of them. Silently defaulting for example -- Umm, no, read the contract. Has been discussed numerous times.

"I'm sure the deletion of posts is in response to the likely investigation by major governments' securities regulating agencies (SEC/FSA) - wouldn't want to leave any evidence lying around"
I am not under investigation by the government. it is a criminal offense to state that someone is under investigation for a crime when they are not. Guruvan has committed fraud and should be labled as a scammer.
In fact this has been shown not to be the case beyond a reasonable doubt. If I was under investigation for AML or something, Nefario would almost certainly be prohibited from releasing shareholder information to me. The fact I have received YARR holder's e-mails and addresses implies I am not under investigation. Not that he had any proof in the first place.

"
Once again repeating that I am a criminal/etc.
4. (ibid)
"In short, I think you are a significant danger to investors and I will voice that opinion until you get a court injunction against me. (I suppose you could get a mod to silence me on the forum, but not on IRC) You have several people saying the same things and no one defending your position usagi. Your accounting doesn't stand up to scrutiny, and it looks like the house of cards is about to collapse. "

IAN BAKEWELL
1. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1235273
The case against Ian is long. Ian lied to me about his financial position in BAKEWELL and asked me to reduce his payment. A few days later he said he had to break the contract.
He then tried to drag my name thru the mud. Read the above link. it's quite clear I stuck to my contract and he was a total asshole to me. here are some of the lies he told about me:
"Wants the shareholders to be paid in an attempt to claw back, as they hold some BAKEWELL shares that would get the divvy."
Irelevant. The contract clearly stated the money would be returned to shareholders. Read the thread, people were agreeing with me.
2. (ibid)
"I do want the money back, my shareholders do agree, please pay: 1Q1k2uTUZ1ZSSufH2w9xnCnPPzC1QmreEa"
No motion was done at this time. He lied.

"Long live those trolls."

No unresolved issues.
5. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1226222
"I make all my financials available in the third post of my thread & I try to stay as current as possible."
Ian did not disclose for several weeks that he could not get his 7990's to work, thereby defrauding investors in his company who were lied to in order that Ian could get more BTC from sale of shares.
6. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1231746
In this post Ian presents himself as a scammer. Read the post.
A rough summary is as follows:
a. Ian says:
"In the time between founding BAKEWELL and creating the shareholder insurance fund with you, and now, the plan for BAKEWELL has dramatically changed.
BAKEWELL is a much smaller company than I initially thought I would launch with. We will continue to grow, but on a slow roll out basis.
At this time, the dividends from BAKEWELL will not cover the funds fee. As such I am not able to continue with it at this time.
I will be utilizing the small dividend I receive to aggressively grow BAKEWELL until the first half of the ipo is sold out.
I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.
The fund currently has 4 BTC in it.
I would like to work out a refund of this from you, less a small management fee.
I would then like to restart this with a larger initial contribution and a payment plan based on dividend income once half of my ipo is cleared out."
b. I immediately respond:
"Working out a refund is not possible because this is an agreement designed to protect your shareholders in case of a default on your end."
c. Ian responds he is aware he CAN NOT cancel the contract in this way:
"I am aware of the contract clauses, particularly A4 and section D."\
d. He gets caught in the lie here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1232050
e. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1236142
In this post Ian threatens to drag my name in the mud if I do not accquiesce to his demands of a refund (in violation of the contract he signed, and despite point c. where he states he is aware he may not cancel the contract).
f. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1236180
In this post Ian once again states that the "single largest factor" in losing his business was the troll threads. This is in sharp contrast to his statement in a).
In short, Ian committed fraud; he defrauded CPA, he lied in order to cancel his contract in full knowledge he could not do this and he attempted to slander me on the forums in order to get out of his contract. This is a clear case of fraud.
