Request for a moratorium on usagi post until January 7th, 2013.
Usagi, at that time please report back on your developments with paying your investors back and winding down your companies.
Thank you.
Topic: Usagi- is he or isn't he a scammer. (Read 4115 times)
usgai does not have time to respond to provide evidence that could make any scam accusations go away (i can only assume becuase providing such information would only further prove his guild) however he does have the time to open a months old scammer thread to continue this practice of obfuscation and distraction.
Usagi,
It is OBVIOUS that you are not able to or just do now want to clear your name so
PLEASE WIND DOWN YOUR COMPANIES, PAY YOUR INVESTORS BACK AND GO AWAY.
Thank you.
Dear BCB;
I will make a response to the evidence you have presented in your locked thread when I have time. I'm busy with other things right now, like closing down my companies and making payments to shareholders. First payments go out tomorrow (friday) actually, as we've gotten paid by a number of companies. Hardware payments will go up soon too, since we were refunded from BFL for 2 jalapenos and a SC single so far.
There are outstanding issues here, and TECSHARE seems to consider my right to a fair process as a "threat". He's tormenting me over it so I thought I would unlock the thread and provide an update.
Note: this is 4 or 5 months old.
The basic issue here is that TECSHARE has been paid in full for work he did not deliver. In my view his refusal to complete first revision (he promised two revisions and could not complete the first one) was unacceptable -- he said it was 'too difficult' and/or 'didn't look good'. So I fired him and he immediately opened a scam accusation against me.
Matthew N. Wright then stepped up and paid him off for me before I was even able to log on and read what happened. This all happened while I was at work IIRC.
Fast forward to today. I still do not have the hi res art files TECSHARE claimed he completed and has been fully paid for. Frankly I didn't care until he started asking me what my right was to claim the work he was paid for. Then again, how could he have completed it when he did not complete second revision, let alone first? Choosing from a bunch of samples is not a revision.
All I am asking is for TECSHARE to give me the work he says he already completed and has been paid for. If he can't do this and refuses to STFU about it, why not tag him as a scammer? I mean the remedy here is so easy -- either give me the art I paid for and allow me one more revision as was agreed, or give me the money back. It's really that simple.

Usagi, there's no need to defend yourself I feel, as TECSHARE has already been paid for the work. I will be instructing him to finish the work and give it to you, as I recognize this as being a miscommunication. Do with them as you will, consider it as a gift regardless from a fan ^_^

were are trying to find a copy of motion 80.
"Usagi was also doing some interesting things with motions, like transferring shares to himself to vote with so the motions go his way, then sending the shares back to treasury. eskimobob and/or puppet caught usagi in that scheme, with help from stochastic website. Usagi also ran a couple polls on the deleted wordpress site and called those "motions". Any real motion was always burried by an additional 4 or 5 motions (enough to push the important one out of history) with things like 'do you feel Usagi is leading CPA in a strong noble manner' etc etc."
Any additional info on this would be helpful.

Thanks to BCB for restoring this post.
It proves I did not lie when I said puppet admitted he was wrong and that I did not misrepresent value. This and many of the other postings BCB are undeleting will be used in my defense. Furthermore to this there were 2 value columns one using the "real" value puppet refers to below and also one column pulling data from GLBSE precisely so that people like puppet could make their own decision about how to value the company. I did not misrepresent value.
Furthermore my answer (unquoted, see original) regarding accrual basis accounting is not sperging nor is it opinion. It is a fact. Just like in the PMs I sent you. This was published on the forums in a letter to shareholders and only serves to show I did my best to be open and honest.
This is why I am so upset that you have passed judgement on me before examining the evidence and allowing me to make a response to the accusations.
But, for what it is worth, reading over what I wrote months ago I realize I was overly aggressive. If I could go back I would probably cut out a lot of the insulting and emotional language I used.

2) [puppet] Question: Even using your method, it is not difficult to see that your 'real' values are almost always quite above market price (ex. current GIGAMINING price is 5 day average 0.578 | 24h average 0.553 | 'real' value 0.63) do you think the market is really this wrong? And even if it was, don't you think it is quite misleading? How can a share be worth more than X bitcoins, if that much bitcoins could get you one now? Funny is, I was about to include a question about the value of mining gear, but writing question #2 I realized you are actually right about them
The value should be counted as the price you would pay for them, shipping included; as this is what counts in buying your shares vs. buying the gear and mining directly. As long as that value is less than what you will earn from them, of course, but then if that was the case it wouldn't make sense to buy them in the first place.

Contract:
1. Investment Hypothesis
1a. Reward
THE CPA exists to provide shareholders with exposure to all profits associated with writing insurance on customer assets, based on the war-chest method of dividend distribution as outlined above.
1b. Risk
THE CPA exists to provide shareholders with exposure to all losses associated with writing insurance on customer assets. Our value may decline dramatically in the event of large or widespread default.
1c. Commitment to 100% backing
All insured securities are 100% backed by segregated asset accounts for their exposure unit group. These segregated accounts will have no other customer claims applied against them. This means we won't leverage our assets to cover two separate types of contracts at once, but we may pool resources to cover similar contracts (see: "1. Large number of similar exposure units" in customer contract preamble).
2. Dividends
Dividends will be paid according to the following schedule:
2a. On or before the 7th of each month, 90% of net earnings for the previous month will be placed into "the war chest".
2b. We then pay pay 10% of this war chest as dividend and at management's discretion a further 10% back to the company for growth and expansion.
2c. Assets which have been released from backing a customer's contract are considered earnings and will be placed in the war chest as per 2a.
2d. THE CPA reserves the right to issue special dividends from the war chest at any time.
3. Disclosure
Full and timely disclosure will be provided regarding any material change in the company's net worth or business activities.
4. Issuance & buyback
We may issue new shares in order to support a private placement and from time to time as the company grows in size. We may issue a buyback for outstanding shares at 200% of the highest trading price over the previous year to date.
5. Risking & de-risking of the company's assets
5a. Acceptable Assets
THE CPA will use shareholder equity to back assets and synthetic instruments as THE CPA sees fit to write.
5b. These assets and instruments held by THE CPA will be pledged to back customer assets on a 100% convertible into bitcoins basis. This means we won't invest in leveraged securities thus causing us to break 1c.
5c. Bitcoins only
We will never convert assets to or from FIAT of any kind. We will never insure an asset class with assets from the same or similar sector. We will never back a writing with an asset 100% pledged to back another writing. Assets used to back our writing will be moved into a segregated account for holding for that purpose.
5d. limited segregatability (de-risking sector default/widespread default)
To mitigate the risk of the default of an entire sector, THE CPA will seek to issue no more than 25% of it's coverage to any particular sector and will and to not insure assets using other assets from the same or similar sector. For example, we will avoid securing assets of a mining company with assets from other mining companies. In cases where this is unavoidable we will limit segregatability to pay claims on a first-come-first-serve basis, with the actual contract holders for the default event taking first priority.
5e. income stream insurance
THE CPA may from time to time securitize income streams at the precise NPV of such streams at a point in time. For example, the NPV of 10 bitcoins per month at 10% per month for ten months is 61.45 bitcoins, not 100 bitcoins. This is mainly of use for miners who wish to guarantee their dividend in the event of downtime or catastrophic disaster.
6. Working with GLBSE/Customers
We reserve the right to change this contract and bind it at any time. Use of our services constitutes acceptance of these terms. We will provide timely notice and disclosure to our shareholders of any changes to this contract on our website and/or our asset page on the GLBSE.

One question.
So assets are not 100% backed, then?
Will you report the % of backing for each exposure unit group?

Large number of similar exposure units" in customer contract preamble).
So assets are not 100% backed, then?
Will you report the % of backing for each exposure unit group?
The intent is to provide 100% backing until we can start figuring out what the rates of defaults (and premiums) are going to be. Right now, nobody knows what these numbers are. It's a good question -- I had added the wording about exposure groups right before I published the contract and yes, the wording is a little open. What it implies by itself is that if I insure 500 bitcoins worth of miners, I can take another miner, or ten, without offering any additional backing. This would be dangerous, of course. I've also prevented it by writing rule 5d. The intent of rule 5d was to provide guidance on just this. Right now I am trying to implement safety procedures and fences against trouble such as over-writing contracts. For now, backing is going to have to be 100%. If you want that specified it can be written into a customer contract without any problem.
5d. limited segregatability (de-risking sector default/widespread default)
To mitigate the risk of the default of an entire sector, THE CPA will seek to issue no more than 25% of it's coverage to any particular sector and will and to not insure assets using other assets from the same or similar sector. For example, we will avoid securing assets of a mining company with assets from other mining companies. In cases where this is unavoidable we will limit segregatability to pay claims on a first-come-first-serve basis, with the actual contract holders for the default event taking first priority.
How this works is to provide three interlocking safety helmets. First, there's a hard 25% limit no matter what the rate of default is. Getting stung on this rule would be akin to 25% of all the cars with auto insurance getting totaled in the same month. Probably not going to happen. But if it does, we can handle it. The second safety helmet is if the entire sector blows up. I think we can both agree on how unlikely this is, but if it does, there is a minimum of 25% backing over at least four sectors (rule 1c forces us to maintain 100% backing over the entire company), so to even get to that point we would need to be equally weighted over at least four different sectors. So even if all the miners simultaneously reported a fire which destroyed their rigs, we would be able to pay out on all of those claims.
The final safety helmet is that we can't back a contract with similar assets. An example? If and when we decide to insure pirate bonds. It does not make sense to insure 400 bitcoins of pirate bonds with securities including 100 bitcoins invested into.... pirate bonds. If pirate ever defaulted, we would not be able to pay out 100%. So even with 4 sectors covered, the similar-asset rule forces us to maintaining coverage much higher than 25%. The minimum we could get away with if we calculated it is probably 33% over four sectors; we could not actually go to 25% unless we were covering five sectors, so that we could guarantee no asset is being used to insure a similar asset. This is a weak link in the company, but I can personally guarantee you we will not be "whipping out our calculators" and trying to get down to 25% just to be risky. I think a good, safe range is 75% to 100% and will remain there for a long time.
The real issue here is affordable premiums. We want to keep insurance inexpensive. This is why insurance companies exist, like the classic "maritime loans" for exploring the new world; to pool the resources of many investors to protect the one rare case where a merchant loses his goods or his ship. The danger is in some ways more real for the insurance company than for the customer; We stand to lose much more money than one customer's assets if we have to default. These rules exist so that we can continue to provide a valuable service to the community.
I think this is an order of magnitude stronger than what real-world insurance companies provide. A lot of real world companies focus on an entire sector and would blow up if the whole thing required payout.
And yes it's a little difficult to understand, so if you have a better way to word this let me know. I'll be thinking of a simpler wording as well.

FWIW if you can't make 10% or more in today's market you really should let someone else handle your money for you..... really.
usai is at it again. Avoiding the question and making emotional pleas:
Thanks. And now, to avoid the issue of distraction, I will continue to respond to your accusations in the order I have mentioned. It's late now, it's 4am in japan as I type these words. So I really need some sleep. I have some free time tomorrow, and I'll have a look at another one of your accusations.
Some friendly advice. If you really are trying to help this get resolved fairly, then do yourself a favor; do not post too many "small" accusations. It will detract from the biggies.
For example, do you really want to make an issue out of whether I live in Korea, Japan, or China? What's the point? Maybe you feel there is a point. But I feel the CPA/BMF contract is a much bigger issue. If you do not trust me, then do not give me the chance to fillabust by responding to small issues first. It's just a thought.
Usagi
I did not ask you what time it was in Japan.
I ask you for facts and you can not even respond to simple queries.
Where you live is very important as is shows that you are not even capable of being honest about even simple facts.
I await your response to my previous question.
Thank you.

Distraction is a technique in which the argument is a diversion to another question, to a side issue, or by irrelevant objection (pp 44-48) (link) and the approach to deal with this is to refuse to be diverted from the original question, but stating again the real question at issue, therefore I state I refuse to answer questions which do not directly relate to evidence presented in your locked thread.
You're welcome.

That is your opinion and indeed you are entitled to it.
Now could you present facts in defense of usagi.
I deify you present evidence that usagi is not guilty to the many actions that MANY users have accused him up.
And I welcome any other bitcointalk users to come to his defense. Currently augustocroppo is the only one.
Augustocroppo, I do not care whether or not usagi gets a scammer tag. My reputation, for what it's worth, it not at stake. I am merely a community member how has been around long enough to know a scammer when he sees one and and glad to help call them out.
Just read any of my other scammer threads.
If you or anyone else can present compelling evidence that he is not a scammer I will admit my mistake and delete this tread.
until then I will continue to call usagi a scammer regardless of whether or not he gets a tag.

Usagi is a scammer. Please tag him. Every step of this investigation has show that usagi consistently misrepresented the value of his assets. This fact has been pointed out again and again by numerous other community members. And when individuals make claims against usagi he makes scammer complaints against them.

Theymos,
Ignore BCB, he is completely biased and have show no capacity to evaluate the evidence presented. BCB have already admitted that he intentionally ignored Usagi responses. BCB is basing his judgment over the mere opinions of other users. As you may notice, there is an organized campaign against Usagi. BCB is basing his spurious conclusions over claims which were not proven true or genuine.
Please, consider the fact that all evidence presented to prove that Usagi did not INTENTIONALLY defraud his potential investors is being completely ignored by the accusers and by BCB. Notice that BCB just post some quotes without any explanation at all. Hence, you cannot reach a properly decision if you are not being informed of what exactly happened in the last three months.
BCB is begging for the tag because he put his reputation under scrutiny in the moment he embraced the case against Usagi. BCB knows that if you do not apply the tag, his reputation in the Bitcointalk forum will be forever damaged.
Finally, BCB became an accessory for a group of organized felons. The "community" which he talk about is not the Bitcointalk forum, but the users casting aspersion over Usagi.
BCB had proven to be an untrustworthy and unfair user to request the tag.

Usagi has been caught in lie after lie and he as deleted over 1000 posts to cover up this fact.
Finally when a link in a post could possible disprove or support a claim. Every link that leads back to usagi's website is "not found".
Tell me this: why would usagi delete over 1000 posts AND and entire website that documented his contracts and his asset valuation if ANY of this information could prove he is not guilty of the accusations?
Answer: because this deleted information proves that's usagi is dishonest liar and incompetent fund manager running a fraudulent investment scheme.
Please tag usagi now and end this fiasco. This would also send a message this this type of fraudulent activity is not accepted here.

sent a pm- I will lend another 43 based on the original term if you still need it.

Thank you! I'll update post #2.
As we say in Japan, どうも ありがとう ございます ^^
Dear ShadowAlexey, Ciuciu, jborkl and Anonymous #19 (You know who you are!);
Thank you very much for helping us out on this. If you would like me to rate you on OTC for this transaction please send me a message on the forums with your OTC name (i.e. #bitcoin-otc).
As a thank you gift I hereby issue each of you 1,000 options to buy CPA at 0.05 per share (expiring after 2013). Right now these options are worthless because the price of CPA per share is about 0.033. However, one day, I expect CPA to return to it's former glory. At that time, you may very well wish to exercise your options. How to do this is simple. At a later date, just ask me, and I will sell you the shares via transfer. if CPA rose to 0.1 per share for example, this would save you 50%. Typically people do this by flipping shares and that is an option too. if you wish I will send you the price difference and keep the shares myself. Good luck and thanks again. This thread was a success ^^

Hello! I'd like to make a quick update.
The three people who were applying to loan us have for one reason or another been unable to complete the transaction. At this point we have taken on 338 BTC of liability, with approximately 180 to 200 BTC remaining.
We have repaid the investors we signed for the first week. If you are waiting for us to repay people before signing a loan with us please consider the fact that we have paid out 2800 BTC on YARR, we paid out 1400+ BTC on pirate insurance, 250 BTC on matthew's default, we've paid out on several options contracts (check my OTC rating). Actually my OTC rating is a good indication of my trustworthyness too.
Ok, thanks and good luck.

Dont need? She will require all the coins she can get her hands on.
I just had a look at the NAVs of nyan.x using her own method;
NYAN.A I get ~990 BTC, down from 1619 last week -38%
NYAN.B I get ~1500 BTC, down from 1935 last week -22%
NYAN.C is more or less stable.

What?

I will not need the funds back early, so do not worry about that.

Confirmed. Thanks. I'll put your repayment address in post #2. Your first payment will be sent this coming Sunday. Thank you and good luck.
Why would you take money that u dont need with interest more than average? Doesn't sound reasonable...
Right. Ok I'll offer him the terms everyone else got. I suspected I should anyway. It's only fair that way. If he doesn't accept, then it should be ok with the others. Thanks.

Hello everyone! Quick announcement time.
I have received four offers, listed above (and edited into post #2).
I've decided to accept them all with the exception of #4 -- I'm not sure if I should accept this one. First it would be unfair to the others and second I don't really need the money. I can do it, we make enough to cover the interest, but I have to ask myself if taking this money would be honest. I mean, I'm not here to just take money take money I have to run a business too. Hmm.
Thoughts? I gave him a deposit address, but I feel a little odd about it. Maybe I should counter-offer to just pay the original terms? If you have any comments please advise. Thanks guys, I was feeling really pissed until I saw these offers. I'll keep doing my best!
DMC isnt what you should be worried about. Usagi got his shares from diablo in an off market, under the table deal, for something like 50BTC. Its worthless rubbish but he didnt pay much for it, and its mostly older DMC shareholders that got screwed over by this deal.
What you should worry about is usagi's exposure to various ponzi's, particularly obsi.hrpt. I wrote some more on that here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1214541

This is an example of why you should ignore puppet. When I did the ASICMINER trade, I was the 60% majority shareholder in DMC. Now I am under 20%. That's right I approved a deal that made me lose majority ownership. Ask yourself why. Second point, the deal was discussed and accepted by Nefario and ColdHardMetal live, in IRC, as it was going down.
Puppet is a worthless troll and if everyone reports him maybe we can finally get rid of him. I wish Theymos would ban idiots like him once and for all.
Guys I suggest we ignore Puppet, he follows me around and makes stupid comments on my threads.
Anyway back on point, Nebulus has been repaid. I'm a little upset at him, he told me he wanted the money back to play Satoshidice. Guys, please don't step into this if you're just going to ask for your money back after 3 days.. I was able to pay back goat's 200BTC and nebulus's 50BTC but now we're back in square one with no free floating capital. If you're going to agree to depositing with us, please try to stick to the terms in the OP unless it's an emergency, from now on. Thanks.

Due to an agreement with Usagi I was paid back the 200 BTC with no interest. I'd rather use the BTC for a different project and I assume he did not want to pay interest. We both win on this.
The debt is now void. Thank you Usagi.

Due to this event there is now an opening for an additional 200 to 300 BTC worth of investment. Anyone who would like to participate please post here or in PM, or contact me in e-mail or IRC. Thanks for helping
Asked for early repayment.
I've decided to allow it. Sure, i'll give you the same terms as goat.
This does present a problem for CPA as we now are having problems with liquidity again.
We're looking to borrow up to 350 BTC now :/ Thanks if anyone can lend us a hand, see OP for terms.

I feal bad, I did not mean to start a run. I can loan back the 50 BTC to cover nebulus.
Nope, it's up to me to allow the early repayment or not. I'll just wait for someone who can do the 6 weeks. We'll be ok I guess :/
I've sent usagi 50 BTC. Would like to get this confirmed.
Sorry I was at work ^^ Confirmed! I also updated the 2nd post to show your repayment address. Thanks.
Just for my own purposes :
Would you be willing to verify your Identity with Address, Picture, Legal documents to discourage Fraud and aquire Trust.
I have not found any Imprint on your Websites and your Sailor Moon Name is not helping either.
If your answer is no, why? (Hint : My first question is a rhetorical question with only one good answer.)

I am ID verified on the GLBSE. I'm not willing to identify myself publicly because several asset issuers have recently received death threats (both Obsi and DeaDTerra, among others) due to recent market losses, liquidity crises, or flash-crashes being perceived as bad management. I am, OTOH, willing to do video chat with Nefario or ColdHardMetal to verify I really am who I am in my photo ID.
augustocroppo has supplied a lengthy refutation of Vampire and Puppet accucation that usagi intentionally mislead investor with inacurate calculations.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1429344
In it he shows the time line in which the mistake was made and show that Usagi corrected the mistake and never used the mistaken calculation to promote his fund to investors.

Usgai told BMF investors that they were indemnified against capital loss by CPA. When they lost capital they received no payments, despite having paid some premiums. Usagi NOW claims that the contract was just a test - with no intention for it ever to run through to completion normally. If we assume usagi is NOW telling the truth (he isn't - but it's not relevant) it means not only did he fail to deliver the insurance he said was in place - but he KNEW when he said it, that it was untrue and that there was no insurance.
Evidence of Usagi attempted manipulation of facts to fit his reality continue to surface.
Here he is caught in the act of submitting altered documents after the fact.
