For some reason I read the title as BFL filing for bankruptcy NOW. It turned out to be just a poll and not confirmed.

I do hope these sleezbags go out of business ASAP.

I figured at some point bfl would go bust and with all the complaints I definitely see to happening pretty soon. They'd have to pay lawyers to defend them and it doesn't seem they like paying anyone to do
Anything. So maybe they'll just file for bankruptcy to keep as much money as they can.

YOU GUYS DONT WAHT TO BELIEVE ME BUT BFL WILL FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY... LETS SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Customers in 24 countries have made 283 complaints to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) against Kansas-based mining equipment maker Butterfly Labs since 2012, as we reported earlier this week.

Since detailed information about notable companies in the bitcoin economy is thin on the ground, CoinDesk wrangled the data on two dimensions – geography and order value – to see what it could tell us.

You should open this up as a bet on one of those Bitcoin prediction betting sites. I'd definitely put money down on them going down by the end of this year.

I am not sure about this. Checking their forums, I am still seeing a lot of people pre-ordering their mining rigs every day. You know, in this world there is no shortage for idiots.

ButterflyLabs Customers Appeal to FTC for $1 Million in Missing Orders... I believe BFL is sooon to be extinct ...

Quote:
"Federal penalties possible

The FTC complaints are only the first step in a process that may see Butterfly Labs investigated by law enforcement agencies.

The firm could also face civll penalties imposed by the agency, which is charged with enforcing a variety of antitrust and consumer protection laws, including fraud.

However, there is no guarantee these customer complaints will result in any form of restitution, according to a FTC spokesperson, who told Ars Techina:


“Complaints are used by FTC and partner law enforcement agencies to detect patterns of fraud and abuse, which may lead to investigations and eliminate unfair business practices.”
