From: Talarus Luan Sure, when you make irrelevant comments or bad analogies REPEATEDLY, I can point them out. When they are outlandish to the extreme, I don't think "subtle hyperbole" in a response would work. How can anybody discuss the facts when some people on here result to insults and insinuations. You haven't even tried to just stick to the facts and debate it. I haven't seen anybody on this thread really try. How can anybody claim a person who results immediatelty results to insults and insinuations as being patient. Most of your message is hyperbolic response to try to paint a worse picture. You make up thing I didn't even say and then you say those are wrong... no shit... and stupid to then come and blame me for being irrelevant on things I never said. It's like your whole purpose on this thread is to come here and bash me at whatever cost. If you want to debate, fine... quit the twisting and grind the facts. You've only started with insults and insinuations. From: someone I mean, you spent, what, 20 pages trying to convince people that "Face Value" of a bond means something other than the value of the bond on its "face". How much sillier can it get? Consider the insults and insinuations made by others, yep it could have taken much less than 20 pages. You just want to blame me for it, however. You didn't even care to point out the other insults and insinuations made. How more bias can you get? From: someone If you're looking for sympathy for being someone taken in by Ginko, perhaps you should try defending him less and trying to paint the situation as something other than what it is so that other people get taken in to cover for your error(s) in judgment. I mean, after all, if you get yours, what does it matter if someone else down the line gets stuck with an even bigger loss? Right? I want the facts, and I'm not willing to except some fly-by person yelling insults and insinuations as a credible source. I figure if they have something reasonable to say they would act reasonable. Going off and yelling "ESL ESL ESL" and other "stupid" insinuations is not being reasonable. From: someone I've yet to laugh "at" anyone. I HAVE been laughing at what people have been SAYING. Do I think that it is funny that people lost big in Ginko or in the Child Welfare System? No. No shit, but you think it funny to laugh at them anyway by saying that they made "bad analogies." That is exactly what you are doing. Have you even tried to compare ponzi with CSS? No. You just assumed a "bad analogy." Do you go around and laugh at what people say just because you don't understand and don't give the time to understand? So far I've seen you jump right in and just insult and insinuate. Care to make a change of heart? From: someone Do I think that it is funny that people make silly, useless analogies and spend PAGES of argument trying to redefine well-known and well-understood terms in an attempt to defend it? You BETCHA! Priceless entertainment. I haven't tried to redefine it one bit. Every where you try to look-up some traditional knowledge about "face value" in regard to finance you will see it is tied to principal amounts. In the case of perpetual bonds, however, there is no principal amount, as there is only cash flow and market value much like a regular stock. The prospectus doesn't even use "face value." Priceless argumentum ad populum, indeed. From: someone I don't assume anyone is stupid until they prove it to me beyond the shadow of a doubt, repeatedly. You are completely wrong to think I tried to redefine FV in any way. Find me a source that can back up your words. Or, are you just going to result to insults and insinuations like others on here as the attempt to prove that others are wrong? That is the repeated bad ananology, just because someone can insult or insinuate doesn't make them right, but you promote it as if they are right just for the laugh of it.

From: Dzonatas Sol Colette is a perfect example of someone that has shown their continual insults. ESL, EST... very childish.
Since you can't take any effort not insult and just discuss the facts, it's worthless to discuss anything. Actually attempting discussing facts with you is more worthless. I am perfectly happy to let you be wrong now and see no more reason to correct you.

From: Cristalle Karami Back on freaking topic.
Nick owns 6093 shares of HCB, 9,125,143 shares of HCL. I cannot find the valuation of BNT. BNT does not apparently trade on WSE. Anyone know to find that?
Anyway, doing the math, HCB's last is 100L/sh, HCL is at .73L/sh. Multiplying that by NP's holdings, that is 609300L for HCB and 6,661,354.39L. Using an exchange rate of 267L/USD, that is $2,282.02 USD in HCB and $24,948.89 USD in HCL.
BNT is unknown....
How many depositors got the shaft? Anyone know? BNT used to be listed on WSE until there was a disagreement on future direction (WSE building used to stand on one of BNT's sims). BNT then moved over to ISE, the International Stock Exchange (  ). However, I don't think they were that happy over there because shortly afterwards they moved to AVIX, now SLCAPEX. Current last price is 0.20 (0.14-0.20 bid / ask):

I'd put all this in a Google spreadsheet, but it's looking too ugly. Basically, it appears Ginko Guy poured the money into expertly selected losers, and now has crap for his troubles. I mean, it's one thing to be a swindler, but then to fritter away the loot on junk... it would be somehow more satisfying to think he'd blown it all on cheap wine and hookers.

From: Colette Meiji The best case solution now is for someone to get Nick to liquidate everything held in the name of Ginko. Divide that number by the number of bonds and then pay off each Bond by that amount. No, I think the best case solution is LL steps in, identifies all Nick alts, seizes all their assets and distributes THOSE proceeds to the original depositors (and not the bondholders).

According to Nick 75% of their money is off world. So the solution you identify will leave Nick with a lot more money - and investors less. Your solution would be the right one though if LL were to see Ginko as a Scam.

From: Dzonatas Sol You are wrong. You put no effort towards being reasonable because you fear to be wrong. Whether you think I am wrong no longer matters to me anymore. Ive explain in great detail my understanding of the situation. If you insist on being refuted go read those posts.

However, I am told that Dzonatas knows. I suggest directing that question at her. (Seriously she does know, 'cause she told me). Or was it Andy? One of the two.

From: Brodsky Zapedzki Problem is LL can only seize SL assets. thats why I called it Best Case lol - I didnt say it would ever happen. Nick would basically have to volunteer to liquidate everything and pay people off - in return for this whole debacle ending I suppose. Since technically all the money given him was a "Gift" as far as LL is concerned... ------------------- Ironically its better for Nick to disappear than to fund repayment of these Bonds by suckering new investors. Less people will get hurt. Becuase each generation of the Ponzi requires a broader base to feed the last due to interest. I dont think he will Ever be able to pay off the bonds at full price without new investors.

I don't think anyone can seriously for one moment believe he isn't buying them. And that's the irony, because if Ginko would be allowed to buy them officially they really would be trading higher!

So, theoretically...
HCB - 609300L = $2282.02 USD HCL - 6,661,354.39L = $24,948.89 BNT - 10,818,978 sh * .2 (last) = 2163795.6L / 267 (exch rate) = $8104.10 USD.
$35,335.01 USD estimated securities holdings inworld. 9,434,449.99L worth of securities if liquidated today.
Not including the cost of the islands and Ginko rental revenue...
This is about 5% of the 190mil.
Damn. So the bond might STILL be trading TOO HIGH based on known assets.

The more he shrinks the debt highly reduces the likelyhood hell get sued. And if he makes it small enough he can pay off the hold outs from the Ginko Assests - and probably skate away with some really decent $$$$ in his own pocket.
