UPDATE:
After just talking to Sam Noi I can now reveal that the Project founder Fabrizio Tatti and one of the chip developers will be available on the forum shortly (later tonight or possibly in the morning) to answer questions reg. Design, status, Gen 1 chips etc.
This should give investors plenty of opportunity to ask questions and also stay up to date with the development.
I still want to hear about the locked up assets.
There will be updates on this as well. I will be in contact with Burnside. All I can say is that the LABCOIN Founder and Developer core is bound by the news update and is not selling shares. This will be verified by Burnside soon enough.
