I saw that render and laughed my ass off. That should have been a red flag to anyone with a pre-order.

This will be the third time I've brought this up and still haven't seen it answered.

BTCFPGA is a grassroots organization that was founded from within the Bitcoin community in May of 2012. It was founded by Thomas Van Riper and Stehen Cupp (cablepair & stcupp) and otherwise created, contributed to and financed by other Bitcoin early adopters and mining enthusiasts who had a vision;
Where does Stehen Cupp (stcupp) fit in in all this?
If it's a "grass roots organisation" then liability for the actions of BTCFPGA may well extend to the other members of that organisation. For something "grass roots" it's extremely opaque.

Im pretty sure he (stcupp) was the designer of the modminer.
Correct. I always got a chuckle out of cablepair when he'd talk as if he had some sort of hand in it.

Deadline for me is 1 week for CC refund, and If I see NO money, next project will be class action suit
Cute. I very much doubt BTCFPGA has collected 5 million bucks which would be the minimum amount for class action.
Not to mention the problem of getting both a cause of action and a class certified. Class actions are pointless unless you have a plaintiff with deep pockets and there's a good chance of a substantial award of punitive damages. They suck as a means of debt collection and were never intended to be used for that purpose.
I can't even recall whether there was an LLC formed for the bASIC project. It would be kind of interesting to know its legal structure and whether Tom is actually the only one with legal liability in respect of the project.

Edit. Looks like they are, indeed, an LLC.

As some people read, there won't be any BAsics

So nobody will get BAsics! The problem is, people got before the big REFUND action their money, anyone before the 20th of january should have their money.
The big problem is now, what about people after 20th of January!
ANYONE who got Refund after 20th of January please provide information here!
My theory is, all money is GONE! *cough cough*
Deadline for me is 1 week for CC refund, and If I see NO money, next project will be class action suit
----------------
Its still just a theory that the massive refund action killed BTCFPGA! We won't have 100% trustfull proof!
Besides that the BTC price is riskly high, BTCFPGA is getting a heavy loss! How can this be hold?
SOLUTION ATM:
GET REFUND via $ that would give to EVERYONE more
What about BFL and Avalon?
