Don't wish to be negative but is late to ask those questions, due diligence needs to be done prior investment not after, no one can claim his own clumsiness.

Yeah I guess he's criticising exactly those aspects. Man, it's sad... But it's wrong to call AM a scam from the start - they brought the investors a 600% ROI! It's just a shame they let greed get hold of the best of them!
I agree they were legit during gen 1. I think once competition hit the scene they just couldn't compete. After multiple failures they said screw it and bailed. It is a shame how they left it though...a simple we are done would have been acceptable.
Why put the effort into making a gen3 chip with sample chips?
Why create a cloudhashing fund?
Why offer prisma refunds to everyone who wanted them? (still not refunded and probably never will)
Why design a prisma 2.0 and ship them from China?
Gen2 was decent, not amazing. BTCGarden and Rockminer made some decent miners with those chips.
Gen 2 was a complete failure so I assume you mean gen 3? My guess is the samples were not as good as reported so they gave up on it. I think with the Prisma mess they were still trying to do the right thing and hoped gen 4 was solid. It is all speculation since it is not like AM would tell us or anything.
I guess I should have said BE200 instead of gen2. Gen2, fall of 2013, was a failure.
I was a prisma owner and I took up the option to get a replacement prisma 2.0. There was some damage once it arrived via CrazyGuy. Not sure when the damage happened as CrazyGuy took shipment from AM and then forwarded the box to me. I tried the prisma anyway and after about 2 weeks, the prisma 2.0 caught fire. Lucky I was home at the time and caught it.
CrazyGuy was helpful with the whole thing. CrazyGuy said that all prisma replacements would come from him but refunds will come from AM. I guess the whole prisma thing is now moot.
