Hey @alexeychirkov, thanks for your quick response. This escrow functionality is as I understood it, and seems to make sense for transferring Internet Identities. I don’t support II transfer, but I do like that there is an escrow period (during which time the seller cannot vote via that II, on NNS nor SNS proposals, as far as I understand but correct me if I’m wrong). ← I thought I’d try and start off with a positive 
Unfortunately I think there are fundamental problems with trying to provide similar functionality for the sale, loan and/or collateral of SNS neurons (independently from the II they were attached to). These features appear to operate on the faulty assumption that if the SNS neuron is transferable now, this means it will also be transferable in the future (allowing the neuron to both enter and exit escrow). This is in fact not the case, and the transferability of SNS neurons can be disabled at any moment by the collective will of the relevant SNS DAO. This is something that is completely outside the control of an individual SNS neuron owner, and outside the control of IDGeek.
For one thing this makes SNS neurons a terrible form of collateral (offering no guarantee to the lender). It also means that SNS neurons can become trapped in escrow, meaning the seller looses their neuron indefinitely, no buyer can receive it, and therefore the original owner is left out of pocket and uncompensated.
Is this a known issue and/or do I have the wrong end of the stick?
