My name is Graham, and I am an investigating Journalist working on a story about serial-scammers/fraudsters in Crypto-Currency, and my desk has assigned me to look into Larry Christopher Bates.

I need your help gathering information about Larry Christopher Bates who has been involved in a series of scams and failed projects, and I will list some - and hopefully I get some responses either publicly or privately from you - the users that know who is who in Crypto.

Since most of the Bitcointalk-threads he is involved with is closed, I am looking for victims of his past scams, and information about his rolls in current projects.

I just learned that he is part of the synereo/Synereo-AMP community as a leader and front-figure, I would like to know more about that.

Hello darlingz, maybe some of you hero-members can help me out with a solution.  

I manage a private fund that is currently worth 530 Bitcoins in real value. We have issued an HZ-asset, a dividend-share - but here is the problem: The current Market-Cap for Horizon is only 199 Bitcoins.

If we are to pay our investors back their money at some point, we will have a real serious problems on our hands as our clients trade our HZ-asset/shares with other people... So if we are to liquidate the fund, we would need to set up a private coin/swap in order to buy back the HZ-assets in Bitcoins since our funds value is higher then the value of the entire HZ-network and therefore makes it mathematical impossible to use it for the purpose it was intended.

If I get my point across

Current price of HZ is 20 satoshi which means that our 530 Bitcoin-fund in HZ is worth 2 789 473 684 (2.7 Billion HZ) but there is only less then 1 Billion HZ in total.

Also - On Bittrex & Poloniex combined, the orderbooks are so thin that we would move the price too much upwards when we are to pay out our investors, and they would bring the price back down selling HZ for Bitcoins which makes the usecase even worse in this current situation.

In order for HZ to work as a platform there needs to be a higher price-cap with enough resistance and harder buy-support to make these transactions possible or the only ones who can use this network will be the smallest of accounts with no room to grow.

So - Going through the rich-list, you guys at the top with the most invested interest in HZ need to pump liquidity back into HZ or sell out and let the market price this right. Getting just a few million HZ is very difficult on Bittrex & Poloniex, there is almost no supply and the demand is too soft and flexible.

So - Insiders: Please skype each other and decide what it is that you want, and make the Platform functional for us and others.

Thank you.
