Call me crazy but wouldn't it be much simpler to just deliver what they promise? Buying up websites that are critical is just window dressing. They simply do not seem to comprehend the power of business ethics or a lack thereof.

That assumes they want to deliver for them its more like lets have people loan us money to make more miners that we can then use to mine Bitcoins after they are useless we will ship them out.

Still a better model than delivering their promise for BFL lol.

Can't believe no has shown up to any of these Bitcoin conferences and stuck a camera in their faces while proceeding to ask them what the hell their problem is and then broadcast the crap out of it. On a side note, hopefully people that are interested in Bitcoin will stop by here first and do a cursory search before getting hung out to dry by these guys. I will say that BFL did ship me my shit...6 months after I ordered. Of course, the miner died pretty much 6 months to the day that I fired it up. Boy, do I wish I could take that one back and the 13.5 coins it cost me. Roll Eyes

Well hello there!
Absolutely amazing.  Just when I didn't think that BFL could stoop any lower they come along and manage to get er done.  Absolutely ridiculous company.  Hopefully this result(s) in some sort of investigation that ultimately get's those felons shutdown.  They've been bilking the bitcoin ecosystem for far too many years now!

techcrunch: Bitcoin Mining Company BFL Buys Critical Site To Improve Search Results


You’ll be excused for not being aware of Buttcoin.org, a bitcoin site that has been critical of both the endlessly optimistic spirit of the bitcoin community and, more important, of the broken hardware users have received from so-called bitcoin mining providers. One company, Butterfly Labs, decided to turn that double frown upside-down, so to speak, and purchased the site outright in an anonymous sale. The result? A search for “butterfly labs scam,” which once returned a link from Buttcoin excoriating the hardware based on user reports, now returns a story with the headline “The $22,484.00 Butterfly Labs Mini Rig bitcoin miner is a sexy bitcoin mining machine.”
