Yep. Pretty much that people like you cannot read.

no shit *rolls eyes*

MPOE-PR's Ignore link is orange for a very good reason...

Pretty hilarious thread.

If you intend to take legal action in a country other than your own the first lawyer you need to hire is one who actually has the right to stand up in courts in that country.  Indian ones don't in the courts which an action like this would appear in - you need a US one.  Having hired a US lawyer why would you then hire 20 Indian ones as well?

If you want to take legal action in the US you need American lawyers.  It really IS that simple.  You send them their $10k or $100k retainer then get down to business (doubt you'll find one who will file on your behalf without $10k in their account from you first - my experience is that's the minimum retainer they'll take for representing a foreigner in a civil case, though that's on a pretty low sample size).

It's not about getting lots of cheap lawyers, it's about getting ONE lawyer/law-firm who can actually do what needs to be done (and that most definitely includes the right to appear in the court in which your claim would be filed).  Then they add a team if necessary.

If OP thinks being a lawyer in India allows you to show up in a US court then he has some serious learning to do.  There ARE situations where foreign lawyers can present - but those aren't situations relevant to a run of the mill civil dispute.

I'll happily throw some cash in to get BFL taken out of action (by whatever means is cheapest - they're low-level shysters so any means of getting them out of business is fine by me provided there's no risk to me personally in it) but Indian lawyers have no part in it unless there's some US/India treaty I'm unaware of allowing civil judgments in India to be enforced in the US.

Did someone say Zerg?

But seriously. What is this? Kindergarden?

Right, because vague threats utilizing Zerg labor are way better than vague promises utilizing Zerg mentality.

Rather than wait for third parties to eke out some tasteless morsel of vengeance, people would do well to read, learn, and take careful notes when the authoritative sources are kind enough to point out why something is not worth their time, money, energy, blood, and so on.

Do any of you have a copy of the original shipping terms? It looks like they've changed the pre-order language to REALLY ACCOUNT for the fact that there might be delays. I don't remember it being this explicit.

I'm going to run this by my contracts professor

...seriously.

i will pledge 1 btc.

we should list it as an asset on a trading site under the name "KARMA".

Yeah pretty much on the USA lawyer part i bet you we could find someone via this thread or forum who's just waiting for their rainman moment and will have the backing of (let's be serious for a second) 5-10 lawyers.


I should just do an IPO for a crypto law firm who will take payment via bitcoins (divs) not just for this purpose of bringing down Avalon and BFL but to have actual properly trained crypto lawyers from scratch and that are hungry to win.

Go GO Go!! I am in! I have 3 singles ordered and I am not happy with the fact that I was verbally promised a July 31st delivery date.

No, they get trained on US law and work as outsourcing for US lawyers.

You really need to hire some lawyers here in the US for this to work, though. In order to actually file lawsuits, you need to hire lawyers who passed the bar in the state you're suing in.

Team of 20 super cheap India lawyers    Good luck man

What want a indian  lawyer to do? They only know laws from india and not american or chinese laws..

Lawyers get anywhere from 10-30%, definitely nowhere near 90%. And it is obviously more about sending a message to these disgraceful quitters and liars than making a profit.

versus having nothing back? It's more about discouraging scammers from trying at all.

Class action lawsuit wherein 90% of all settlement money goes to the lawyers? - genius!

Total all in cost of this?

Great start to the lawsuit there.  

We're coming.
