Yifu is communicating now as much as he did during the Batch #2 fulfillment period. This cannot be a surprise. These chips are late, but so was Batch #1 and Batch #2. This knowledge was in front of you when you made the purchase. Tell me what answer you will give to the judge when he says "Isn't that curious. Tell me why you thought he would ship on time this time?"
Dude, they pre-mined the crap out of Batch #2. That's why there was no communication as they delayed as much as possible.
They mined until the units turned up covered internally with dust and preconfigured to pools. Way beyond that of 'testing'. It was so noticeable, that they had to halt sending the dust coated pre-configured pre-mined silver units and re-start Batch #2 shipping, sending out fresh black ones that were intended for Batch #3 orders.
Hence the obscene delay in Batch #3.
C'mon man, be fair, this behaviour is inexcusable.
I want to believe this wasn't the case, but look at the evidence. At this point ignoring the subject will not help.
In the context of pursuing a lawsuit, the important question is "will a judge believe this."
Well if one can provide photographic evidence. Check.
Reports from legitimate purchasers with photographic evidence at the time pf receipt of goods, as well as courier documents/customs dockets. Check.
Evidence that units were preconfigured to specific pools where 900BTC (approx equal to US$1m, of a an approx $1B currency, further directly manipulating it's overall supply) has accumulated to specific wallets within specific dates. Check.
I'd find it hard for a judge not to consider such empirical evidence.
Especially when further corroborated with the evidence that the manufacture of chips equal to all the community bulk orders in total was in fact in Bitsycom's possession from late June. Posted by one of their own design team, and a total blanket on any communication from those entrusted with the funds and orders for weeks subsequent, followed by continued ignorance of their existence and inconsistent excuses.
Not to mention continual promises to refund which never transpire, and an aggressive increase in global hashrate throughout he same period which cannot be solely attributed to another US based manufacturer with an awful track record of delivering anything.
EDIT: As I have been quite rightly corrected 900btc is not equal to US1m, yet is substantial. As such the pre-mining may be less significant in the supply of BTC, but holding or reselling the quantity of chips on order is not. That said I want Yifu to retain 'Hero' status, but this is beyond giving the benefit of doubt now.
