Thank you for your original investment in Bond #2. I look forward to working with you in the future and for John enjoy that shiny new toy you're about to buy ;).

I've also invoked my reserved right to pay interest / clear accounts early as its a Saturday and more conveinent for me.

If you'd like to discuss the details of my operations in game, feel free to PM me whenever you see me online. Anyway I'll answer of your questions as best I can.

Do investors have details regarding all the alts that use their money ?
Can you please tell me which is the other character / alt that holds all that cash?

As for what character is actively involved in the market operations there is a single character that handles the market operations. He's out of corp sitting in an NPC corporation to keep him safe from wardecs and ensure that my operations can continue uninterrupted and without risking him being specifically targeted by griefers. This is partially the reason I use Josh as the spokesman for the fund as he's my original main character whom I started playing the game with and I conduct relations with in-game.

So that's why I don't disclose who my market character is within the game as I wanted to protect him from being targeted and I'm protecting my operations and my investments along with those of my investors. If you want know who some of my characters are, feel free to search under Lampen in your search window and you'll see a number of characters come up. Between my three accounts 7 of the 9 characters are named with some variant of Lampen. Six of them are designed to do nothing except conduct PI. The remaining two are not named as such and not members of my corporation to support my market operations and investments. Their skills are very limited and those that they have are only to support ongoing operations or other skills that can support future industrial plans.

Now in terms of what I can give you from those two characters I can provide you with large tracks of screenshots of market transactions, escrow withdrawals, and other things. If you'd like more information make a request for specific things and I can
see if I can produce it without disclosing the identities of those characters and the specific goods they trade in I will certainly share it.

Do you have serious traders / PIs / miners that can vouch for you ?

As for individuals who know me well please feel free to stop by the Minerals and Manufacturing Channel. I tend to hang out in there and am familiar with many of the regulars. Ryomanni, Anne Mar, and many others speak, about every time we see each other online and I routinely chat with many of the people in the channel. As for people whom I have interacted with for a considerable time there are few of them left at this point, but Sara Seraph is one of my oldest contacts from the days of E-Uni. I've spoken with her many times and used to exchange information on industrial operations and market activities on a daily basis.

I want to invest up to 10 billions, but a wall of text doesn't impress me too much as anyone can write whatever they like.

The wall of text within my VLI Fund and previous bonds is simply my style of doing business. I like to provide information where ever and whenever I can, often to the point where people experience eye pain because most people from my point of view don't offer information in-depth information. Obviously everyone wants to project their investments and what areas they operate in so I don't disclose the specific commodities I deal with like most others don't.

If you'd like to discuss this further feel free to contact me in-game whenever I'm on or respond in this thread. I usually respond in a day or so.

Current Market Buy Order Value: 32.768B

Market operations continue as per the normal weekly cycle. Prices on some end-goods have dropped in value by about 4% but I have not run much during the holiday periods before so I'm not sure what fluctuations to expect during this time period. Overall profitability is not affected significantly.

Mining Operations

As posted earlier mining operations have expanded in partnership with new corporation members. For the last seven days the following was shipped for processing to my manufacturing facilities:

White Glaze: 7,320 Units
Blue Ice: 5,095 Units

For the last week the White Glaze quota has been exceeded by 20.39% which makes up for the shortfall that occurred during a few harvesting days this week during traveling. The Blue Ice partnership is still in its infant stages and production may be shifting to White Glaze production to facilitate future industrial projects. I will update production figures as they occur.

Planetary Interaction Network

Planetary Interaction Network production lines are functioning as designed. Training is still underway to increase efficiency across the network. Preliminary testing of Character #1's Command Center Upgrades LVL V skills and its effects have been better than expected. Extraction on test planets has increased by approximately 43-57%% by eliminating resource shortfalls during the end of harvesting cycles and has enabled harvesting cycles to be extended by up to 36 more hours before resource extraction rates cause the processing facilities to start utilizing stored P0 commodities. Other characters continue their training for this same skill and will then move on to Interplanetary consolidation.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing continues to be a low priority for the moment and most of my resources are dedicated toward fuel production. During the past week 160,000 Caldari Fuel Blocks have been produced on two lines. The bulk of it has been placed aside for future sales later this week while the remainder will be used for direct sales to clients located through the Bulk Trade mailing list.

Reactions

Stage III of the Celestial Symphony Project has been deployed and is fully functional as of yesterday. There are now three product lines operational. Profitability of each particular line is listed after all costs are taken into account as with market operations above.

Product Line I Profitability: 28.65%
Product Line II Profitability: 45.26%
Product Line III Profitability: 22.17%

Projected monthly profits: 2,031,050,462.40 ISK

I'll start posting these charts as part of my weekly updates to help disclose more information on my operations since there were a couple of individuals who questioned the legitimacy of my business dealings as there would be significant numbers of transactions/market escrow withdrawals on a daily basis. These charts should help show that there are indeed many hundreds of transactions a day. If there are any questions regarding the charts I'll do my best to answer them.

As always thank you for taking the time to read this weekly report and I look forward to my first week of holiday business! Hopefully we see a lot of activity with so many people out of school, off work, and with more time off in general.

Errr... Well I've got some bad news about your investment Every One. This really friendly Nigerian contacted me about this lottery I won. All he needed was a large ISK deposit to process it for me. Why Nigerians wanted ISK I'll never understand but the balance of your account was just right so I had to use it.

Well at least you're not disappointed and surprised.
