Not a chance! Why would I spend my time analyzing an algorithm designed
by someone who doesn't seem to understand the most basic tenets of
cryptosystem design and evaluation? What would be the point? How much
are you paying? What do I get out of it?

It's a total waste of time. Based on what I've seen, I would
never entrust important data to Caesarion/Leopard/L15/whatever the
thing-a-ma-jig is called these days.

Schneier's essay on amateur cipher designers makes the point pretty well.
