If you are a shareholder and I solve this "if" there is a positive impact on Neo & Bee because of it, which translates as profits thus dividends. Do we do a special calculation on your dividends excluding these theoretical profits?

maybe just a calculation of the direct profit/dividends potential versus the risk as a result of NeoBee being involved. If there is to be a profit from this situation, we'd like to know about it.

Maybe I'm not being clear enough, so I'll ask again, what are the possible positive impacts and/or profits from this for NB shareholders?

When truth about BF comes out number of customers willing to entrust their savings with yet another entity will be limited.
BF was trying to be such an entity. And BitFunder already looked good by the design:

- No coin were stored in the exchange thus preventing malicious party from stealing it
- Assets were publicly visible thus preventing from fraud or manipulation from within.

Unfortunately, this good design didn't prevent the failure because master Ukyo failed himself.
He didn't bother to warn his customers (from whom he used to collect massive fees for his awesome job!) about possible problems with his enterprise while being well aware of them. Furthermore the operator lied to us and made it look like a technical glitch. Many technical well known persons backed his lies as possible explanation to the problem with bitcoind daemon. So he was able to collect even more coin from inbound transfers just to send them out as so called "manual withdraws". This action caused more people to be affected by his dark magic.

So the design of BitFunder allowed me in the end to... let's check:
- have access to my coin in case of BF failure.... Naaah, I have no access to any part of my coin and the coin is gone
- have access to my assets..... Naaaaah, I have no access to any part of my assets. Furthermore my dividend is still being sent to Master Ukyo because he is owner of my shares and apparently he needs more coin, I might be guessing..

This drama proves us, once again, that the only coin safe is the coin stored in your personal wallet kept away from any bankers or safekeepers.
This story proves that designs doesn't prevent malicious operators from stealing from you.
This accident proves that trustworthy operator can turn bad and he won't tell you a thing about problems causing more damage to users

So I guess helping BitFunder out will prevent headlines like "money from supposed to be safe major bitcoin exchange lost forever" from hitting the news in time when NeoBee will be promoting itself as safe place to store bitcoins.

Not to mention that if there is any link between Ukyo and NeoBee it will be exploited over and over by journalists.
