Lukily I am not directly exposed, and I should be able to terminate my indirect exposure soon without losses (other than having to liquidate otherwise promising assets), but really
I will begin liquidating starting as of September 10, 2012.
Why THIRTEEN DAYS more? You should have started liquidating the day you announced the termination of the operation(or before). Nowhere it is written you should be allowed the time to wait for the end of Pirate's story, for instance -people invested here to be safe from Pirate, after all, so you should have taken care to avoid this being a problem.
People even offered to settle your debts by directly taking assets, which would generate no losses, and take no real time. Really, why wait?
Much more so seeing you weren't nearly as lenient when on the other side...
And
I would hate to see people drop accounts like they did with pirate, but I cannot control this. Therefore, if anyone is interested in selling their investment debt, please contact me so I can arrange the sale.
I will try my best to get all of your money back from the assets, but I need my lenders to understand that this can be a long and difficult process.

Only to me this sounds awfully as
Because if this isn't the case, then why even consider the possibility at all? Pirate debt was sold at a discount since everyone knew they had no guarantee at all, and many of the investors probably suspected it to be a fraud too, they just hoped it would last enough to profit and quit. Which is the exact opposite of this case, which was supposed to be fully guaranteed. If you were really only worried about your investors losing money panic selling, you could very simply show them you have the ability to pay them back.
By not even trying to do this, and just asking to "give you time" (almost a month) and "trust you" (just like Pirate did -I am not saying the situation is the same, only it looks similar from the exerior), stressing that it will be a "long and difficult process", and in addition ventilating the idea of panic sales of your debt, you are quite endorsing the idea that ther's indeed strong reason to worry about your ability to make this end well, IMHO.
