The point is, why did people even bother buying anything anymore from BFL as they KNEW and KNOW they are either NOT getting they're producs or getting them LATE.
I call that pure ignorance and sorry but buying from them just proved you are plain stupid.

Okay you must be trolling, no one is this obtuse. I used to wonder how BFL thought they would ever get away with this, but I guess they figured with people like you in their customer base.....
im not a customer.
but your missing my point entirely, as to the purpose of using a debt collection first.
ask yourself why credit card companies do debt recovery first, court room second..
seriously, i mean it, ask yourself why.. then look it up.. google is your friend.

Okay I see you aren't that bright so I will use small words to make it simpler for you.
The debt collection company has no power to force payment of a debt or do anything at all to BFL until you have already gone to court and gotten a judgement against them. BFL would have to be willing to agree they owe the money and work out a payment schedule with the debt collector. Obviously, if BFL was willing to do that we wouldn't be having this conversation, as it would have already been done and the debt paid. The whole point of all of this is they deny they owe anyone any money.
It would never get that far anyway because you go to the debt collector and try to hire them to collect the debt for you, the first thing they will do is ask you what proof you have of the debt. But since you haven't gotten a judgement yet, you don't have any proof to give them.
I know you aren't that bright but not even you are stupid enough to think if a debt collection company shows up unannounced with no judgement they are just going to hand over the cash.

silly man... debt collections agencies can do pre-legal collection services. but hell. its too late now as the legal wheel has begun..
but to answer your point. i know BFL wont hand over the funds, just like most people ignore bills and threats of debt collection agents when they see their credit card headed letters for instance.. but thats the point.
1) it gives the defense more ammo
2) if BFL were going to own up to the debt of refunds before it went to court, then the person would get paid. (which we know BFL wouldnt do)
the point is to not have the legal process take months-years just to establish the fact. even today the courts do not know if BFL intend to repay, even if a judgement is made.
its called ammo, to hurry the process along and save time/costs
see you guys in a year or so because i can already see what is gonna happen next

If you win a lawsuit against someone you get a judgment against them. This judgment will allow you to attack a lien on any of their property that the court has jurisdiction over so you would be paid if the money is there (assuming they do not successfully appeal)
weldone now put some perspective into it. after the court has made judgement.. allowing you to attack a lien on any of their property. think real hard.. i mean real hard. get your mind to master how exactly the process works after judgement.. have a cup of coffee.. sit there and really imagine the process after that first judgement.
ok now you have had time to realise that its done through debt recovery agents..
ok now your upto date...
so BFL had the judgement th debt recovery agents would try establising a repayment schedule.. BFL would show the recovery agents an empty FIAT bank account, (because they are hiding bitcoin).
so the debt recovery agents go in and assess the value of the property, and then go back to court with the audit, where the court.. second time round would force them to hand over assets listed to the value of the claim or get sent to prison.
hmmm
how about .. get the debt recovery agents in first to arrange the repayment schedule and audit the property. saving time and money..
..... thus avoiding the endless cycle of court cases.
you do realise that MTGOX saga could have been sorted far sooner by doing debt collection first.. now everyone is waiting till after february 2015!!! all because of the court run-around.
lawyers should be last resort. not first..
but oh well BFL customers see you in 2016 when something may happen with your lawyer first route... lawyers love run-arounds as thats how they get paid. they hate swift actions
i have saved this message for prosterity. lets see in 2016 how many court room hearings and run arounds there will be..
so far dates of importance involving expensive lawyers and/or judges where payment schedule or asset auditing has not yet happened:
april 4th
april 29th
april 30th
june 4th
june 25th

lawyers only care about getting paid..
the best solution is to get debt recovery companies involved first. then get lawyers.
the reason/logic:
going to court first, may prove that BFL owes funds, but then it gets passed onto debt recovery agencies, which BFL can then just avoid answering their office doors to.
but by going the debt recovery route first (its cheaper option too initially as no retainer is asked for upfront) and if BFL hide away from paying. this can then be used in the court as evidence that BFL will not pay. making the sentence more harsh and more actions instead of debt recovery would be given.
EG, prison time, seizure of assets/whole company, stiffer fines.. rather than just a set small fine, with low/slow re-payment schedule.
do you really want to waste court time where BFL show an empty FIAT bank account AFTER a court asks them to pay a fine? or do you want to pre-empt that defense by proving they wont pay. and then get some actual positive result

You realize what you said makes no sense right? Your argument, if I understand you correctly, is to NOT file a lawsuit, because if\when you win, BFL will just ignore the debt collectors you send to collect the debt. Instead you suggest they go straight to debt collection, so that BFL has to ignore them, which you can then use in court to get a judgement against them, which.....you just said 2 seconds ago BFL can just avoid answering the door when the debt collectors show up. Brilliant!
July 01, 2014, 12:05:09 PM
Did you read the lawsuit? BFL denies all allegations. Showing up in court and saying they wouldn't pay you doesn't prove anything because BFL denies they owe the money in the first place. That's the whole point of a lawsuit, to get a legal judgement against them which means they are court ordered to pay. You can't do anything to them without a court order. I don't think you know how these things work.

read it again... by proving that debt collection does not work. THEN do the lawsuit adding the ammo that proves they wont repay via collection agents ...the court will offer a different solution!
no point going to court, getting it palmed off to debt collection agents, BFL refuses to open the door. which then causes another court case to be sought...
its called saving time/money and ensuring BFL cant just waste people time, but to instead ensure BFL get a punishment that cant be ran away from the first time, not second time round. because there would be no need of a second court case, cause you have already used up the debt collection card.

Ding ding ding, this man is right. This is why MtGox operations should have been ordered to resume ASAP as a non-profit aimed at reimbursing the lost bitcoin.

Attention Lawyers & BFL Customers. Here is a very good argument for a Class Action lawsuit against BFL (Butterfly Labs) for incredibly late Monarch development, refused refunds and misleading grossly inaccurate estimated target dates.
This is due to extremely late Monarch development and refusal of customer refunds. Links to supporting evidence below, as well as estimated delivery dates which were not kept and estimates and impressions given customers which turned out to be completely false.

Also, please up-vote it on reddit so it gets more attention (and hopefully a lawyer's):

Perhaps we can get something accomplished.
