What I'd like to see is an explanation for the "CAN electronics" stunt.

Tom actually answered my email today, so that worked.

Maybe this time you do, lets see. Last 5 emails got ignored, like always

Hello Tom/Cablepair, since your ASIC project fell through. Please show us evidence that you actually had started with the project. Any details will help of course. You always kept quiet about the entire project, did you have an ASIC protype that hashed until they didn't hash anymore (died). Can you show us any proof at all that you actually had anything other than good intentions?

I had an order with you for 1 unit, which you did refund. I would just like to see proof you actually had a project, and it wasn't all just words to get more orders. If you actually showed proof of your project, even though it failed. Maybe people would be a little easier on you.

anybody searching for Tom, this will help you identify the correct one;

If it wasn't already clear, I pointed that out. If he does that, the list of refunds is probably larger than those that are bugging him. If he can get a few people that are really mad calmed down, likely some people have given up and their orders never need to be refunded.

Also, 100 BTC on the way. Woohoo! A whopping $4500! It would be interesting to see how long the to do list is. If it's 1000 to go, and he can do 3 a week, everyone will be refunded in 6 years. Not too bad.

Tom, what keeps you from posting a list of order number with a refund status and maintain that list in public?

Update: I submitted more information this past Friday to the lawyer I have hired in this action. No further news is available at this point.

Try posting the order # each time you refund someone.

Glad to see people are willing to take legal action, will this be the first bitcoin suite? (apart from bitcoinica's which appears to be going nowhere)

EDIT: you could one more poll option - I am just an observer curious how it ends.

Yes, we are angry, we are also very disappointed in how you have behaved.

No it does not.
Give us a plan of action.
The only way to forgiveness is atonement, time to act like an adult and face people directly and honestly.
You used the pre-order money after you stated that you had not or would not. In my book, that's embezzlement.
This is business, you wanted to play with the big boys, you failed to follow up and hid like an abused child. Time to man up and make things right.

And you still won't consider posting order numbers or even amounts that need to be refunded? Because... ? You're hoping some of the people have given up and your debt is no longer valid with them?

I am sorry if I left this out, I have purchased a couple hundred BTC and have some more on the way - As soon as my block chain downloads
34700 left to download now I will begin todays refunds. If anyone emails me I will reply today.
Everyone will be refunded starting in 3400 or so blocks - people will post confirmations today. I hope this is enough information for you
Im not going to bicker with anyone Im just going to refund them, I dont care about the scammer tag anymore have a nice day.

Credit Cards that were charged backed and 100k to one person who did a wire transfer (if you didn't it could be considered wire fraud).
 

Have them post here. You haven't communicated to anyone directly that you still owe BTC refunds to. You have all of the email addresses. The only communication I have seen are your post here, apologizing for you failures and trying to convince people to have sympathy for your position.


Another chicken dung excuse. You've been around long enough to know how to back up your wallet.


Your actions or better yet, your lack of action is what gave you the scammer tag. Try reading the thread - it clearly shows who tagged you as a scammer.

The recent fork will have no bearing on it,


You again show another one of your statements as false.

I do not care about your opinion of BFL or it's people, good for you and your contributions, you can add them to your resume, this is strictly business.

Your arrogance precedes you.
Again, another attempt to negate your obligations.

So instead of doing the right thing and showing what is still owed and the plan to pay it back, you whine that people are attacking you.

You're so deserving of the blue ribbon. Does that make you feel better?

I'm sorry your angry. I fucked up. I poorly managed this business. I completely fucked it up and its my fault but I did not do it with the intention of scamming anyone.


I will admit that although my FPGA business was going well until they became obsolete, I was way out of my league when it came to making an ASIC - I fucked it up, I ruined my business and if it makes you feel any better I feel like a piece of shit every day.


I should have a couple hundred BTC by the end of the day - the entirety of that will go to refunds.

There's nothing I can do other than pay people back and believe me or not I will continue to do so util everyone is paid.

I am sorry about my attitude, I did not mean to come off like that - please everyone can you find it in your heart to forgive me for my poor attitude. This is a very humbling experience for me.

When I feel like  I am being attacked - I tend to act immaturely and fight back and I am truly sorry.

Your right its no ones fault but my own that this happened but you can ask the people I was working with I never once had the intentions of scamming anyone. There's no point in it for me, I made nothing from this and I am spending my own money to pay it back.

I don't want you to feel sorry for me I dont want pity I just want you to work with me.

thanks to those who can feel at least some empathy towards me. My wallet has 36920  blocks left to download and then the refunds will begin.

Wow... BURNED!

Another email sent to tom. The scammer shall vanish, but only if evry1 is repaid. I was not refunded yet.

You have no evidence that he didn't.
