Sometimes you gamble and loose... Life goe´s on
Just this.
"Don't spend more than what you are ready to loose to an unknown. Do take calculated risk."
My words Bro
It was definitely a calculated risk without a thought of loss involving consumer protections and rights present even though the company has violated them. The law is on the consumers side in this case, and the customers shouldn't loose their money when it's all done.
Also remember that this startup received I think less than $8,000 from family members and have proven their negligence repeatedly. I didn't know any of that until I came to this thread. If I had read this thread before July 14th when they asked for final payment even though they knew about failed chips earlier in the month, I wouldn't have given them anything. There is not one photograph of any of the pieces of hardware, while 6 other companies have had chips and products being used by customers for 3+ months.
Really, it was a calculated risk on your part? You just NOW realized that there is no evidence of any sort of hardware or prototype? You didn't think to look for that BEFORE sending them thousands of dollars? What surprises me so much about this whole thing isn't the direction this thing took, that was obvious many many months ago. What still to this day shocks me is the complete lack of any sort of due diligence performed by so many of their customers.
As for getting your money back, that ship has sailed I think. Some months ago, when people were here calling them a scam, there was still a chance to get your money back. It is more difficult to hide assets when you are still actively taking in money. Now that there is no more money coming in for them, and probably no operating costs either, I am fairly sure they have long since hidden whatever money may have been left. They ARE accountants after all. No, you will get your judgement and your court orders and find that the company has no cash or assets to pay them.
Correct. It was a calculated risk on every customers part at the time of pre-order. All of us realized they had missed their promise of a prototype several months back, but in terms of their partnership with Dexcel being published and everything functioning correctly for months there wasn't much worrying going on. I am not as unfortunate as others and didn't send them thousands of dollars. Half the customers got saved by using credit cards and not having money to pay for it. I did due diligence it just wasn't at the right time or the right depth that would've included reddit topics and this thread which had people calling Dexcel, planning to travel to Dexcel in India, and other locals visiting the businesses and other communication accounts such as their phone being disabled. You are damn right that my own research wasn't as thorough as what was occurring elsewhere, otherwise I would've found out that it was teenagers with a loan from their parents operating out of a shack. I was too busy enjoying life to do any of that of which the others did. Only when the tune changed from "we are on track for a July shipment" to CC ability withdrawn, to absolutely no communication for 2 weeks is when I became heavily involved with every single thing that was occurring every day. That's when I and others discovered every negative red flag action that related to the company and it is sickening.
The child director is not an accountant, nor are the other two employees of the company, nor the 4th that just jumped ship. The only accountants are the dad and his son that distanced themselves from Alpha. I have already secured my Paypal payment through my CC company. I'm just trying to get my poor judgement BitPay payment back, and if it's a loss or comes back in pieces through legal means later on then I'm ok with that.
