OK guys, I'm not dead - and am back active.  Unfortunately will be away again from later today until late tomorrow but will make a start on sorting this mess out on the weekend.  As far as assets are concerned, the BTC I hold for the fund remain intact and untouched - as anyone can verify from the address.

Not sure what's happening with Ciphermine.B1 - but if Kate's paying dividends to Ciphermine then it looks like it may be a scam.  I say that because common-sense suggests Ciphermine is making a huge loss (its liabilities - denominated in BTC - are rising far faster than it can conceivably be mining coins).  If she's pretending its making a profit and paying dividends, hence increasing the extent to which it has negative equity, then that is defrauding bold-honders (paying dividends to equity holders when unable to service debt is basically fraud/theft).  The conflict of interest I referred to previously (in respect of me becoming invovled in her exchange) was basically that point - that it would be unwise for me to increase financial links with her with the likelihood of me having to initiate civil and/or criminal proceedings against her in respect of the bonds.

I'll give a more detailed update on the weekend and try to get the dividend calculation done in full by then - then decide how to proceed with the fund going forward.  After this week I don't expect any lengthy absences until at least May.

It'll take a bit longer to sort out relisting - as I'm now totally out of the loop on which exchanges are functional/trustworthy etc.

If anyone incurred costs taking legal advice in respect of my absence then please PM me and I'll look at reimbursing it (copies of invoices would be required).
