f anybody can help shed some light on the issue of usagi allegedly investing BMF funds into non-mining operations, I would appreciate that.
Let me help; here is the contract:
https://glbse.com/asset/view/BMFHere is BMFs portfolio:
http://tsukino.ca/bmf/holdings-nav/Note that obsi.hrpt has nothing to do with mining, and its hard to defend Nyan being a mining asset.
One could even point out the contract doesnt allow for usagi to buy mining hardware.
Now personally, I wouldnt give someone a scammer tag over something like this.
However, if you are looking for a better reason, I would suggest you look at this post:
The NAV of BMF is approximately 0.50. We will be placing aggressive bids at .45 to .50.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=112734.0Those are demonstrably lies. First of all, the highest bid is currently 0.4104.
Secondly, if you calculate the NAV using usagi's published asset list here:
http://tsukino.ca/bmf/holdings-nav/After you correct the prices and you list the fpga and asics at actual list value and not 20% above BFLs listprice, I got to 0.262 BTC per share at the time it was posted:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=112734.msg1219660#msg1219660Meanwhile he has been buying up some of those shares causing the nav to rise to ~0.3, but it was never anywhere near 0.5 BTC and saying that was a big fat lie intended solely to mislead potential investors, and talk the price up because his Nyan bonds are heavily invested in BMF and in big trouble.
I suspect the wannabee lawyers here will have an opinion on whether or not thats even criminal.
FWIW, here is an up to date NAV:
