Hello Market Discussions,

I've been reading the forums for a considerable time now and many of you have helped me make a considerable amount of profit off the markets in the past. I've recently expanded my own operations and find myself in need of capital injections in order to minimize the amount of downtime I experience consolidating orders and goods currently in my inventory and selling them to the marketplace to keep things running while maximizing profit. Hence why I am here. I am offering a bond with the following conditions:

    This a large bond and I don't expect it to come from any single investor and am more than willing to work with multiple individuals and keep them updated as requested on current operations.

    I am not offering collateral at this time as almost everything I have of value is tied up in current operations since we all know that ISK sitting around is ISK that should be invested.

    Monthly reports on assets and profits will be made available to all investors and the users of this forum in the event that future investment opportunities are available.

    Thank you for your time and I look forward to working with you! Big smile

    I'm surprised no one has replied to this yet. Its quite a convincing business plan you got there.

    I'm potentially interested in joining the team of investors with 1 Billion. I'd like to wait for more public response first though - the lack of interest in this makes me a bit suspicious. If other potential investors can be found, I think an audit by VV will be a good idea (funded by investors).

    With about 10 Billions tied up in your mining operations, and your thirty planets that you can work with, I'm wondering what you would do with this investment? Why dont you just wait a couple of weeks and you should have obtained the 5 B by yourself?

    Vadane Deninard,

    Thank you for your interest in the bond. I'm quite happy that I've finally received a response from someone in the community. As for the lack of response I was wondering about that myself given how many days it has been since I originally posted this. I assume it was the size of the bond given it was the first one I have ever offered to the MD community, but I was hoping to spread the bond to several investors and start building my reputation. As for an audit I'd be more than happy to undergo one for the sake of giving investors a better idea of my current operations, assets and any liabilities.

    As for the 5B ISK it would immediately be in new market operations in the sectors in which I specialize. I've been playing around with DOTLAN and have identified an improved map to work with in terms of those operations and have since expanded by buy/sell orders by 2 jumps. This means that I now operate in 19 different systems and I have identified two additional hubs to place orders at to expand by an additional 17 systems. This is principally what my new investment would be used for at this time. As capital grows each of these markets can be expanded considerable but right now I'm am focused on the products that give me a return in excess of 10%. There are no fewer than 7 other smaller markets that yield between 3.6 and 5.4% profit and integrate well with my current business model, but it's much more profitable to maintain my current operations and expand them then go into these other markets at this time. If you or anyone else would like to discuss my operations further please feel to contact me or reply here. I'll respond to your questions as soon as I can. Once again thank you for your interest!

    P.S. to clarify the 10B I alluded to earlier is tied up in market buy/sell orders, not mining operations. That's where the investment will be going as well. Furthermore the bond is divided into 5000 1m ISK shares and I welcome anyone who wants to invest to do so regardless of scale.

    I just had an in-game convo with the bond creator and felt like giving some more info to the public. The bond creator has shown quite some patience in our convo and was anxious to build up a certain level of trustworthyness.

    His main char info can be found here: http://eveboard.com/pilot/Joshua_Vaughn_Lampen
    While this char does not seem to cover all aspects of his business plan, I assume that most of his business activities are performed by alts (see his description above). Note that while he has opened a thread looking for an ice mining char, there is no conclusive evidence that he ever bought such character. (http://eve-search.com/thread/171020-1/page/1)

    Furthermore, he once had his own corp (Atlas Heavy Industries) as a member of TEST alliance, which obviously has a doubtful reputation in terms of scamming. He tried to explain that he never supported their scams and even helped to uncover some scamming plots (e.g. see here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=16492).

    From a business model point of view, Joshua seems to know his tools though.

    As much as I'm a strong supporter of EvE's investment metagame, and as much as I like helping people building up a reputation, I cant be perfectly sure about this. Therefore, I leave the stage for some more experienced MD users to make their comments.

    To elucidate further on what Vadane and I spoke about. The bulk of my market orders and operations take place on Tacitus Lampen, my market and trading alt.

    As for my own corp I spent a long time in NPC's after getting out of TEST and decided I would set up a corp to house my alts and myself while I looked for a new Indy corp. Atlas was never a part of TEST, it was a stand-alone corp after I got out a while ago. Thankfully have found a greatnew copr that can provide almost everything I need for my operations.

    I realize trust is something that's hard to build up in the MD community and the size of the bond has probably put some people off but I'm here to answer questions about my business plan and model in-game of through the forum so feel free to message or ask questions.

    Investor and Prospective Investor Update #1

    Things are proceeding very smoothly across all of my current investments. Market operations are accounting for roughly 1B ISK everyday even with the normal amount of competition I see on a daily basis. Disruption to my markets of interest have been minimal and all projected profit margins in my primary basket of investments continue to exceed 10%. Investments in secondary markets are showing their typical mid-week weakness but are expected to pick back up on the weekend which is when my products will be released into the open market.

    Ice mining quotas are continuing on schedule(5.5% extra at this point in fact!) and my planetary interaction network is operating at roughly 95% efficiency on my current extraction schedule. A new character is beginning training and is expected to have it's portion of the new network online within the next two weeks. I have updated my post with my important daily operations and will continue to do so throughout the course of the bond.
