One or two of us have met Danny and discussed the situation. It's not possible to say much but at worst they can't help. They certainly aren't doing anything shady or stupid.
All I can say is that there are very good reasons the the lack of public information. Nothing anyone says is going to make that palatable but it should be obvious why after the fact. I'm sorry
Also, some of the 'facts' being posted by others are not true. Inferences are being made which are incorrect. It may not seem obvious but that's because the full story hasn't been released. Everything said by Ukyo or Neo tallies with my knowledge so far and no one has been lied to afaik.
Here's what I'm having trouble reconciling in my head. Ffssixtynine, you've insinuated several times that you've been granted some degree of insider knowledge about the situation (or am I just misreading you?). But at the same time, Danny has also made abundantly clear that he would be in some kind of dire legal jeopardy if he spills the beans on the situation. Did you have to sign something too, Ffssixtynine? Or just pinky promise?
Not trying to be hostile here, just a bit confused by everything.
I am going to have to remain agnostic on whether or not NB involvement with Weex/BF/ukyo was a good idea or not until such time that more information is granted to shareholders. But I do think some people are completely losing their shit over NB involvement for no good reason. Worst case scenario, the NB team gives it some effort but ultimately fails to rectify the situation. Nothing's really lost except some man-hours. Best case scenario, people get their coins back, NB saves the day, Ukyo's out of hot water, the reputation of the bitcoin sector saves face, it's a huge win-win. Well, everyone wins except the lawyers that is. I think it's quite likely that the possible gains far outweigh the cost (in man-hours) of getting involved. Either way though, the NB team will be able to cut their teeth on a real crisis management situation (whether that be a technological crisis or a legal one or some combination thereof). If NB is to become a huge player in the bitcoin sector, I think they're gaining some serious XP by trying to deal with this situation. And they will be able to learn from Ukyo's mistakes.
That being said, although most of the NB news coming out on this thread (Univ. of Nicosia, Zipzap partnership, investor show, etc.) have been very positive and Danny + team have done an awesome job with all that, I don't think the BF situation news has been going all that well. The information so far has been vague, and promises of more detailed information have remained largely unfulfilled. This has only fueled rampant speculation which has led to uncertainty and consternation amongst investors. The updates we have gotten just seem to raise more questions than they answer. If it's not possible to tell us what the situation is, is it at least permissible to clearly state some things that the situation
is not, in order to allay some fears?
