I know you have been doing a lot of trying to get deprived identity stripykitteh, and I thank you for it.
now do you think it's worth either:
a) asking CM to not allow the sale of the CM_bonds to deprived directly, instead either a steward or CM distribute to DMS shareholders based on BTC-TC list.
b) hire a private IT related investigator, (people who want to contribute to this can, all those who contribute get the intel)

I can't find any info on him, (mind you I really haven't looked past google and this forum), I am open to ideas....

Thanks. I've got a few IRL things going on keeping me busy so I haven't done much about this for a while.

I think there's no harm in at least asking CM what their attitude is to redemption of the bonds. I think they are probably going to need to take legal advice anyway, which we can't do for them obviously. It's certainly morally irresponsible of them to just redeem the bonds to Deprived's address when they are aware that he is AWOL. I expect that their advice will be something along the lines of holding the bonds on trust indefinitely until the situation is clarified. This makes me a little nervous as there is no guarantee that CM will be around for a long time and DMS asset owners wouldn't be recognized at law as creditors if they went into liquidation (I'm not saying they will but we have to think about the worst that could happen).

The private investigator line might work; I've no experience of engaging such people though and don't know what chance of success there'd be or what cost is involved. It might short-circuit this whole saga though.

One thing I forgot to mention before, I also got a tip that the CM people don't know Deprived and really have no idea where he is either. While I cannot vouch for the source of the tip nothing I've seen indicates it's not true, either.

I give here an undertaking to at least email the 'top' half-a-dozen forensic expert firms in the UK by this Friday and ask if they know of Deprived based on the tips I've been given.

sorry for my ignorance but what is "IRL"?

also HowlingMad have been stewing on the DMS situation for awhile, I sent CM owners the below message earlier this month

Hello Kate and Team,

Now all DMS shareholders are concerned over Deprived's lack of appearance and when he does appear he is drunk.

We would like to liquidate the DMS shares and the assets to to with these shares and return the capital to the shareholders.

Ideally I would love Deprived to do this himself and would like to give him a 7 day time frame in which to pay the dividends of Deprived Mining and Deprived Purchasing.

It's been over 6 months now, and it's time

Now if he doesn't pay the dividends for the other securities we deem him not suitable for returning of capital of the DMS and we work on a very public complete list of DMS shareholders, their holders and a plan on how to sell the Ciphermine Bonds to repay them.

A few of us are concerned about if you give the capital straight to Deprived how promptly he will repay it.

I never got a response, but they are pretty busy at the moment.

hopefully your forensic fishing trip leads to something, again thanks for taking action!
