"How can you expect the same amount of BTC back   You are an idiot!!! You will get back the amount of BTC at CURRENT blah blah woof woof"

I am an idiot for expecting back what I gave him?   If I paid him 10 potatoes, I would expect 10 potatoes back.

I posted a message directly after that one that Tom posted, asking him to spend time refunding my money rather than asking for more trust.  It was deleted...  

Ive been in talks with members from the Bitcoin community and thank God

it Looks more like the Bitcoin community itself will be buying this company - not some un-known asian company

I encourage all of you - please see how things develop over the next couple of days before you make your refund.

I give you my personal word BitcoinASIC is under new management and we guarantee delivery by March.


Give us a chance to get organized and then make your decision because bASIC is moving forward. Any customer that sticks around will have a bASIC unit hashing away in March GUARANTEED.

Tom - Quite frankly:

-I have seen how "things" develop when you are involved - you failed / not interested

-I have witnessed the use of you giving "your personal word" numerous times - doesn't mean anything / not interested

-I (along with many others) have given you a chance to get organized  - you failed / not interested

The number one priority right now should be YOU and DAVE processing refund requests until they are completed with little work on a "buyout" or "change of management" deal.  You at least after all this nonsense bullshit storm owe us the courtesy to quit jacking us around and honor the refunds NOW.

There should be a "Refund(s) Received Thread" started to track this as this will be my last attempt to wait before I hit up charge back land.

Would be nice if Dave would focus 100% on getting people back their refunds.. keep seeing him dabble on the forums which isn't where the refund requests are sent to.

I'm waiting on refunds for 4 x 72Gh/s bASICs, and mortified to learn that it's up to Tom to process my refund, when he gets around to it apparently.

Also I've noticed someone deleted my msg on his forum asking Tom to refund my orders rather than waste time posting asking us to "believe him" or whatever he's saying now!

I have such a bad feeling about this now, I am planning my next step.  I know my chances of getting my BTC back are slim to none, but I now wonder which law enforcement agency should I be contacting about this?

Tom & Dave, if you're reading this - understand that those of us who want refunds DON'T BELIEVE YOU ANYMORE.  Stop making excuses and refund us our money!  How long does it take to send btc???  wtf?

Return my funds for my four orders #s: 945,1375,1480, 2090 by sending the BTC to 1CVmb947c2kGmQcQTjJFWAxMGRmEuLnnfW. 

Anyone interested could see that Tom isn't a scammer after all by looking at the balance:

what better way to give some confidence to the customers who still believe in you than to give us our refunds now!

I'd like my money back IMMEDIATELY (what I sent, not the $ equivilent today, I'm not interested in subsidizing you), otherwise I will do everything I can to go after Tom, Dave, and the non-existent btcfpga through all available legal channels. 

Due to the delay with chip fab, the new team believes we *must* provide proof-of-tech.

Here's the latest -
Tom has been working very hard to find a way to keep project bASIC moving forward.  I believe he has found a way to do this.  He will pull back from the project day-to-day and act as an adviser only.  He still has lots of valuable knowledge and contacts for this project and it would be terrible to lose him completely.

Tom wants to find the best solution for the customers and doesn't want to introduce any further delay, but he needs to step back from this.  He's shouldered a tremendous amount of pressure and stress and its become too much for him to bear alone.  However, he has brought us a very long way toward the ultimate goal.

There are new player(s) that have come to the fore pledging to support this project - this may come as a complete buyout or by taking a cash equity position - the details are being hammered out over the next day or two.  Tom has already put this project in the hands of a new team who will be able to realize his original vision, delivering all customer units by March.

These new people have a few things the project can really use: active involvement with Bitcoin, technical expertise, connections, experience, money.  No its not any of our competitors.  You will learn who the players are only when the deal is done and everything is nailed down.

Due to the delay with chip fab, the new team believes we *must* provide proof-of-tech.  Tomorrow I will post up a hard date by which we will deliver a video showing a hashing unit.  This will not be a production unit, but it will show that the hard work has been done (the chips work, the PCB design is complete).

Thanks to all you who are taking a supporting position on this project - you really prove to me that there is a positive community here who really wants to see bASIC succeed.

Even if Tom did spend the preorder money and the company goes bankrupt without being able to refund all the preorders, I think a quick search of the forum would show he doesn't have a lot to worry about. It's not like Pirate's identity is hidden, and after Pirate's blatant scam fell apart all the keyboard rage here didn't produce anything.

Pol Pot killed 1.7 million people. We can't even deal with that! You know, we think if somebody kills someone, that's murder, you go to prison. You kill 10 people, you go to Texas, they hit you with a brick, that's what they do. 20 people, you go to a hospital, they look through a small window at you forever. And over that, we can't deal with it, you know? Someone's killed 100,000 people. We're almost going, "Well done! You killed 100,000 people? You must get up very early in the morning. I can't even get down the gym! Your diary must look odd: “Get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death – lunch- death, death, death -afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower…"
