Well then show me friedcat's posts predating March 12 mentioning plans to expand beyond 50 Thash/s (or beyond 12+50 Thash/s) or plans to sell hw -> There are none.
I'm not going digging for posts, but you should be looking about 8+ months ago. Also, if you think the 50, or even the 200TH expansion for that matter, and selling a few boards is all that is in store for asicminer.. well.. you need to do some DD. Let's not even talk about next gen as you're a little behind already..
Here I dug one post up for you: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1529563
As of Feb 15, friedcat had no plan to sell devices. He was merely "considering it", but had no plan.
I think you are the one who is behind or, at best, misinformed
He is referring to that particular batch, not a company mandate to sell. The plan has always been to mine first, sell second, since day one.
