It is looking bad, but this has altered the risk reward ratio.. More risk and a much higher reward. I've bought some more as I love a gamble.. The whole premise of this from the beginning was a 1 in 10 shot of it happening. Now they have chips, but they are fucked or the pcb is fucked. Either way I don't believe it is vapourware or a scam. Ill be a bag holder if it is a scam, but that's why I've invested what I can afford to lose. I won't be bankrupt, I will be pissed off that I made a bad call. If people are investing more than they can afford to lose then they are the fools
Read the past 5 pages to aknowledge this is guaranteed a known scam, you are not gambling you are throwing your money down the bin.but hey maybe you hit my sell orders
There hasn't been a single scrap of evidence showing that Labcoin is "guaranteed a known scam".
copy and pasted from reddit as i can;t be bothered to write this all up my self........
All this info is public so does not count as doxxing or a witch hunt. This is merely connecting the dots of Labcoin. So one of the founders of Labcoin is 'Fabrizio Tatti' owner of iTec-Pro.
People discovered his sister Alessia under her skype account Delaria, chatting about beginning the Labcoin project:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/labcoin-120219Searches of Alessia(Delaria) point to a prior scam involvement with Alberto Armandi. They are husband and wife.

Fabrizio plays dumb:

EDIT: Labcoin responds:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=263445.15960 "We will explain everything tomorrow on IRC"
Not a scam?
?
So where's the actual evidence?
Someone called "agath" and someone called "delaria" had a conversation involving bitcoins and ASICs. There's no mention of Labcoin or iTec Pro Ltd. Doe that prove Labcoin to be a scam? No.
The forum profile skype name does not confirm that Labcoin = delaria. I could set mine to "delaria" if I wanted to and there is more than on user on the internet called "delaria".
That ripoffreport is just a rant from a single dissatisfied customer.
There is no evidence showing that TheSwede took 950 BTC, just FUDsters suggesting it.
What TheSwede was buying with his BTC at the time of the IPO is irrelevant.
So, your "evidence" for Labcoin being a scam boils down to Fabrizio Tatti being Facebook friends with a scammer.
