Look I know this is not want you want to hear, but there will be an update soon, that's all I can really tell you right now.[/b]
Not can - want. That's all he wants to tell right now.
He could at least tell if the news is positive or negative. Actually if the news would be good I am sure he would mention it.
They want to be as far away as possible from ground zero before the bomb drops,
or run out the 5 month refund window on customers.
Believe me, if they had any good news to deliver Fiaz would be on every forum, and all the reddit threads touting it. They've posted full updates for something as inconsequential as the final case design (which looked exactly like the old case design).
If fiaz knew the chips had a deliver date of 10 days he would be talking it up. Scheduling deliveries, getting the payment processor up and running. Lol he would even put up the tracking number so everyone can see how transparent they are. If Drexel had any information for them it would be posted here. BUt Drexel doesn't. Drexel probably completed the final tapeout but won't mask until fiaz delivers the next payment but AT doesn't have the capital to make the next payment so Drexel won't start the next phase. This is probably why fiaz is so quiet now and he won't even come on here to respond to these allegations because he has no proof to counter them.
Even a stack of power supplies and cases would suffice. How long would it take to make a few hundred cases? 2-3 weeks. Shipping? another 1-2 weeks.
If A-T did have manufacturing in motion how hard would it be to call up your foundry and ask them to take a few snapshots and uploaded them to dropbox so you can shut the naysayers up? It would probably have the rest of your customers stop dragging feet and wire transfer the rest of their money to AT. If AT had any proof they would post it. But they don't and the only thing Fiaz can say is...."Look I know this is not want you want to hear, but there will be an update soon"
