I have been contacted by the OP yesterday.


What does "OP" mean? If you're gonna write a wall of text at least don't use uncommon (for me at least) abbreviations. Your goal is to write as many long words as possible.

Thank you

Little has changed in my daily market operations since my last update. There have been fluctuations here and there but most markets have remained stable. I've had somewhat of a time crunch in real-life affairs so there's been little time to research possible areas for expansion into new areas.

Mining Operations

Ice mining operations have been slightly under their standard quota for the week but nothing that can't be compensated for during the upcoming week. Approximately 5,311 blocks of ice were harvested which is 88.22% of my weekly quota. The was only 709 blocks and as I have a four day weekend coming up they'll be ample time to compensate for the shortfall.

Planetary Interaction Network

My Planetary Interaction Network is currently undergoing a massive overhaul. As stated in earlier posts I have been prioritizing training of elite PI skills for my characters to increase overall efficiency and reduce time required managing the network on a weekly basis. At the moment the network is being reorganized to produce P4 commodities and once all characters are done training I will be able to produce all commodities currently available in the game. For now I can efficiently product all but one of them at a rate of 12 units per day for each commodity. The only one that isn't being produced at the moment are Self-Harmonizing Power Cores. I will be working on the network this week and examining its efficiency before posting detailed profit projections. At the moment though I estimate roughly a 12-14% increase in monthly profits with this change at current prices. I will also use some of the parts to produce POCO and POS packages as I expand my manufacturing business.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing continues to be a low priority but 200k worth of Caldari Fuel Blocks are due to come off the assembly line today.

Reactions

Along with my Planetary Interaction Network my POS Reaction Network is undergoing reorganization. One tower is currently active and generating 455,040,000M ISK per month. Others will be returned to operation as time allows.

Other News

In a recent discussion with Locin WeEda I was given the chance to ask for my courier statistics with Red Frog Freight, VLI's primary logistics partner. He was able to pull my data from his yearly audit and the following was reported to me:

Name: Joshua Vaughn Lampen
# Contracts: 65
Total Rewards: 175,150,000.00
Total Volume 55,428,413.49 m3

Name: XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX
# Contracts: 474
Total Rewards: 1,218,100,000.00
Total Volume 402,970,722.52 m3

My trader alt is also ranked as #10 in terms of number of contracts sent for the year of 2012. We'll be shooting for #1 this year now that VLI is active and I can operate in more regions.

VLI has also crossed a milestone today as well with over 2,000,000,000 ISK in interest payments dispersed to investors.

He can be doing all of the above, and still be running a ponzi scheme. The only way that he can prove he isnt a scammer is by offering full collateral for invested isk. That isnt going to happen, what is going to happen is he is going to run with your isk debra, once the overall pile is big enough. Until he runs, he will continue to pay monthly interest to investors with their invested principle, ponzi scam.

Eve history has shown this again and again. there hasnt been an exception, and it isnt going to be Josh.

Greetings

I don't want this to sound wrong or anything, it has nothing to do with the guys spamming scam all over the place.


So, I would like some sort of API to check the sums that flood your wallet. I don't want any materials, character names, nufin, nor do I need to see player donations.

Just the sums.

Think you can provide that to me? As I trusted you with my money you could trust me with total confidentiality from my part. Divulging information? Ain't nobody got time for that!


Thanks.
