Alpha Tech has cancelled everyone's orders, they are refunding 30% for only the customers who paid in full, those who only paid the deposit are shit out of luck, and those who paid using BTC are completely SOL?
That's how they thank all of their loyal customers who funded this project. As investors the customers have taken all of the risk, put up with all the delays, and are now being thanked by generously returning 30% of the funds (to select customers) and cancelling all orders.
Wow, I'm speechless, they've gotten away with murder. As a business they were already making a profit on each mining rig they sold. Example, their cost on a 250Mh/s Viper is probably 25% of the MSRP. In other words, for each one they sell they bring in enough money to build 4 more.
Essentially they got a massive custom built ASIC mining farm for free? Sounds like this may have been the plan from day one. I wanted to purchase a couple of Vipers from them but, when I saw the picture of their store front and learned they were accountants, I hesitated. It looks like I had good reason to hesitate. These crooked accountants planned this out all the way. It obvious when you look at all of their actions holistically. They clearly don't plan on staying on the radar. I suspect their biggest fear is to lose their accounting licences. These assholes need to be taught a lesson and they should have their lives completely ruined. I hope they go to jail.
You guys are being too nice to these jerks. Yes you want to get your money back and you should do everything possible to get it. Someone needs to organize a real criminal investigation to help put them behind bars.
The problem is that it costs additional money to fight them. This doesn't guarantee any funds will be returned but does guarantee the loss of additional funds for the claimee.
