Thanks for your response and continued involvement in BitShares. I don't know what level of due diligence you have conducted on Costantine, but knowing the quality of your work in general it certainly isn't likely it was superficial. I also respect your decision not to disclose info about this person. That speaks to your level of integrity as a business partner.
I can only caution you to be very weary of those who may promise great things, and want to get involved in "helping" you achieve your goals. I do not know what level of understanding you have of history and the evil that has been exposed time and time again of collusion & conspiracy to maintain control. It is very real and very dangerous. I implore you to take great caution and care in your process of due diligence.
I also have reservations about the level of due diligence that is even possible with those with extraordinary resources to apply to subterfuge and obfuscation of their agendas. I fear that the efforts you may put into your due diligence process may pale in comparison to those others have and are willing to use to keep their actual intentions and agenda opaque and hidden.
Thanks you very much for your reply. I much appreciate your input and can confirm that there are people out there doing exactly as you described. I made my experience in that regard already and I always start carefully, especially when it comes to "promises" of any kind. Further, I can ensure you that I try my best to not fall for traps. So far, what I have seen is promising - and I haven't been posting about anything publicly because I am careful about things and want signed contracts and agreements before even considering press releases :D
