Put a lock on the door? If I'm reading this right, the "partner" was actually running the farm.
In any case this is fucked up, not only AM/FC part of it but Rockminer/Amhash too - why drag it out for so long? So they were running as a real ponzi for more than two months now and taking new suckers in (well until havelock keeled over) as if nothing happened. Brilliant.
Not quite. AMHash hasn't sold any contracts since around Christmas and even if they had that still wouldn't be a problem as AM could probably replace 5 PH/s pretty easily.
As for this news though, what the fuck is up with Chinese people and their complete lack of the concept of communication? ASICMiner, AMHash, Rockxie and Friedcat deserve to be punished for trying to hide shit like this, especially after people complaining all last year about their utterly pathetic communications and their promises to do better.
The only thing I can do is leave negative feedback and I will be doing so despite being an AM shareholder.
From the new farm that was said to be deployed? 5 Ph/s isn't that much for a manufacturer, for example, AM produced 60 Ph/s of BE200 last May according to FC. They also had trouble selling that hash power so nobody should really be surprised they could replace it.
