Looks like Tom might have a new home soon(jail). I hope this piece of crap rots in there.
Jail ? You are watching to much movies
Tom will be fine. He lives in the USA.https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1450104
BFL is next I would bet.
The problem here was that there was too much pressure on one guy...BFL is structured differently.Maybe you know what kind of magic allows mass production of chips without a prototype and tests?
Maybe you know how many months will pass before there is a working prototype?
Maybe you know how many people during those few months will request refund?
I think BFL is in the same danger as bASIC.
Well shit.
Has anyone gotten any CC refunds yet? I asked on 1-6 and of course nothing has shown up yet. I realize the BTC have gone out somewhat, so...anyone gotten anything on this front? Sad that my bank is closed till monday

Dave posted that he's processed CC refunds but that he doesn't know whether Tom transferred the funds to cover them (this was supposed to be done by wire). He's recommending that customers who paid by CC contact their CC company and request a charge back.
AFAIK, BFL is not in the position where one person can crash their entire system. It's still a small company, but you don't get to 25 employees by making mistakes like that.
I'm not a fan of MPOE-PR but here's the best description of BFL that I've seen:
BFL is a marketing company (and an incredibly poor one, in many aspects). Their business is keeping those Google ads up and siphoning the incoming money into more or less safe holes. Everything else is everyone else's problem.
Think about it.
BFL is next I would bet.

Jail? Soon?
Sounds like the Bitcoin Police are on the case!
I got my BTC refund from them, and i am happy about it - because i suggested my chances 50/50 . Wish luck to Tom take control the situation !
When did you request it, and when did you get it?
Dave sent me an email saying I would receive mine today, but haven't as of yet.
Man, you're crazy to still be backing BFL.
Maybe they will produce, but if it doesn't happen soon, the refunds will start mounting and you'll be in the same boat.
Now that bASIC has collapsed, the panic is building. Once Avalon ships and friedcat's project comes online(if they do), then the pressure will increase.
Less projected profitability + competitor already capsized + BFL's shady background = refund city.
Good luck.

So let me get this straight: the only reason people were getting BTC refunds was because Dave and Lukas were urging Tom to. Then Tom is supposed to provide crucial information about the ASICs, and instead he packs up and leaves town. Their bank account does not have enough funds to process CC refunds because Tom was in charge of that, too. Now, we have no idea where Tom is, we don't know if people are even going to be getting refunds (CC or BTC), the BTCFPGA forum is still under lockdown, and we have absolutely zero information about the status of the bASIC's development. And all of this is directly from the 2 remaining bASIC team members. Talk about a shit storm!
BFL is next I would bet.
Bummer, requested a refund on the 8th and he didn't pull through. How hard is it to do a chargeback?
Call your credit card company and "dispute" the charge. They should walk you through the process.
