I filed last week a formal complaint at FTC about butterfly labs and would like to see them before justice.
I am scammed by butterfly labs and they know it.
Have been sending constant email and messages to them about my complaint and they simply refuse to answer in a correct manner or solve the problem.
I am now searching ways to legally get them to either give me satisfaction or i keep trying to find ways to close them down.
Sadly i do not live in the usa, very lucky for them. Because i am a pitbull and will never ever give up untill justice has been served in any way
Who did me harm will one day get my fun on them as soon as i found a way to hurt you back, no matter how long it takes me.

Vote with your feet, by filing a real complaint - it only takes a few minutes at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ - The FTC will only take action if they receive a number of real complaints.

I did a while back.

I honestly don't see why it would take several filings before they act, when one letter should do it.

It's obvious even to most brain-dead person that nobody has or will receive what they paid for a year ago. Case in point, is the missing PSUs which, by the way, allows BFL to make more money on the shipping since the boxes will be lighter.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sonny Vleisides charges his employees for using the toilet paper.

The regulators and law enforcement have to make a conscious decision to pursue a matter of this type (which is why more complaints = more likely they will spend resources to investigate).  Even if they know about it (which they clearly do at this point) they may decide (for any number of reasons) not to pursue it.  With that said IF they do decide to "go after" BFL it will be methodical, slow and fact based.  They will take there time and build a rock solid case (remember a win is all that matters to these folks and their careers, not the consumers best interest).  Lastly there is a very real possibility that the AG may be diving much deeper than say UCC laws, FTC regulations.  If they are investigating BFL and Sonny they may be looking for other violations.  There as so many laws on the books that they may be looking at other avenues to pursue as well.  IANAL and I don't have specifics in mind but it's not hard to believe they may be looking at mail fraud, wire fraud, false advertising tax evasion and the list goes on for a long time.

Just because law enforcement hasn't taken action yet doesn't mean they aren't and won't however you and I won't hear about it until well after BFL does!  They will not tip their hand and they have all the time in the world so to speak.

How long did it take from Pirate disappearing until the SEC weighed in last month?  DO NOT believe Josh when he says that just because no one is doing anything right now that things are not being done.

In 2006 the USA passed the UIEGA which was aimed at stopping online gambling in the US.  A few brazen poker sites still served the US and they "allowed" two of the biggest sites to serve US customers for almost 5 years before going balls deep with indictments on those two corps.

They say this on the FTC website

Quote
Why: Your complaints can help us detect patterns of wrong-doing, and lead to investigations and prosecutions. The FTC enters all complaints it receives into Consumer Sentinel, a secure online database that is used by thousands of civil and criminal law enforcement authorities worldwide. The FTC does not resolve individual consumer complaints.

So there is power in numbers. It will take time, but we must all speak up by filing individual complaints.

Considering I filed a formal complaint with the FTC, it would be my pleasure to testify against them should it go court.

I simply figured the FTC would rather see a petition than read 100's of emails.

The link of this thread will be sent to the FTC if the yea votes surpass 200 and the nay votes constitute less than 25% of the yea votes.

To be fair, I have started the voting with a no, for I firmly believe this will be the only time that category will be ahead of the yes votes. I will not be using any of my other accounts on this forum to up the obvious side.

Let the voting begin!
