After all the BFL threads, and people still order from them...
Unbelievable.
Dude, it's not like it was $7M USD in the past 9 days or something. Oh, wait...
And, this was penned two months plus prior to HashTrade's infamous $1M USD via BTC down payment via BitPay for their multi-million dollar order.

Ownby went on to say Butterfly Labs has quadrupled its 65nm production in the last six weeks and has doubled its production staff.
“Funds received for 28nm Monarch products are used for production of our 28nm Monarch cards only. We expect to begin delivery of Monarch cards in December,” he concluded.
Either these guys who were/are in good standing with BFL either got shafted royally since being at the end of the queue, or are happily hashing away for a while now on their Monarchs. Either case is not a pleasant scenario.
