Has there been news as to when the shares on bitfunder will be converted to direct shares?
Which shares are you talking about? The issuers have the full list of shareholders. AM100 for example has moved on already. Ukyo is in charge of G.AM.PT. So we're waiting on him to send the shares to friedcat. My guess is, his priority (?) is winding up wexchange first.
I think it's safe to say at this point that Ukyo stole our bitcoins and if he can will steal our shares too. The belief that he intends to deliver coins, dividends or shares at this point is extremely naive to the point if being stupid. He hash't provided any communication in a long time and the whole Neo thing is another pile of lies, evasions and delay tactics. Expecting anything from Ukyo is just plain foolish.
If anyone has a list of the G.AM.PT wallets that was publicly available on the site most recently, we should get a group of us who hold those shares to see to it that Friedcat transfers that as the ownership table for dividends and share sales in the future.
There is no point in waiting for Ukyo as he will not show up to help us out.
