Concur.
Count the errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, typos, use of CAPS, spacing, etc, and compare to his posts from November and earlier.
Sure, the earlier ones aren't 100% clean either, but I see a marked difference.

Dear Friends, Lovers, and Enemies,
First off. Sorry for the scare. and believe me it was a SCARE - we had to refund over 200k and we were happy to do it because we claimed from day one that we will honor any refurequest until we go into production and we meant it. And As crazy as fuck as it is to say so , we will sill honor it. We took multiple 20k+ refunds left and right without batting and eye lash because we believe in this project and we know we will be releasing our bASIC Bitcoin mining units sooner than everyone else, especially our good friends BFL.
Love us or hate us, I have some good friends who are original Bitcoin "old money" and they gave us the additional funding we need to finish the chip fab / packaging and take this thing into production. (THANK GOD!)
we WILL be shipping bASIC bitcoin mining devices in March 2013 and I am willing to put my own money against anyone who says otherwise.
The Design is done baby. The chips will be state-side as soon as Chinese New Year is over and for those who could not stomach the wait I don't blame you but I'm sorry to say you lost you place in line my friends.
March may seem a long time away as we all have ASIC blue balls right now, but its really not that far away, and I salute and congratulate all of you who have had the testicular fortitude to stick it out with us because you my friends will receive the ultimate reward. Sure Avalon may get some units out before the Chinese new year but that is sure to be a very limited number. On the other hand our assembly house has an unlimited assembly capacity and as soon as the Chinese new year ends we will have 16,000 freshly fabbed and packaged ASIC chips and we will be assembling those PCB's at FULL CAPACITY !We will be shipping ALL CURRENT ORDERS IN THE MONTH OF MARCH AND WE STILL HAVE ROOM FOR MORE ORDERS SO Get IN WHILE YOU STILL CAN! I stake my personal name and word on that. So hold on tight my friends because its going to be a wild ride in the month of March.
Now Let's Get ready to mine some serious coins

This is not the same Tom that I pre-ordered from. He seems to have developed some mental health issues and/or a drinking problem in the meantime... sad but true.
Does Tom even realise that this is no longer just about raising the funds to complete the project? It's also about convincing people that whoever is leading the project is competent and Tom's "word" is not evidence of that.
Quoted for emphasis.
"HURRY HURRY STEP RIGHT UP! THIS HERE IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY! THESE BABIES ARE GOING FAST! GET 'EM QUICK BEFORE THEY'RE GONE GONE GONE!"
Way to add some value to the discussion.
Thanks for the fish.
So Tom's post confirms what we all suspected - that they didn't have sufficient funds to take the project to completion.
Which actually makes Tom's comment about being willing to put his own money against anyone who says they won't ship in March ridiculous - why wasn't he putting his own money into completion of the project if he's got spare cash he can afford to lose lying around?

Forum still on lockdown.
No explanation for the chip delay.
Many refunds still outstanding (were any BTC refunds at all given since Friday the 11th?)
Oh, but we get plenty of empty hyperbole. "HURRY HURRY STEP RIGHT UP! THIS HERE IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY! THESE BABIES ARE GOING FAST! GET 'EM QUICK BEFORE THEY'RE GONE GONE GONE!"
Good luck with that.

yeah. too much back and forth going on here. weren't the new team members supposed to post/update about proof of work so far?
i appreciate tom's tenacity, but at this point he needs to show concrete evidence that the chips exist and actually work ... in whatever form. a single chip on a test board...anything concrete.
