Well, I have been procrastinating this post because I was slightly embarrassed to admit I did place a order early on in this ruse.
Someone from the Gmail "
[email protected]" account acknowledged receipt of my order, and stated I would be receiving a shipping confirmation on Monday May 11 2013. Of course, no email was received. A few days later I sent a inquiry and of course I did not get a response. Nothing has been heard since. Of course I did consider this could be a scam prior to my order, but I took a gamble.
I can confirm for all, it is a 100% complete scam. Everyone who did the previous due diligence was correct; there are no ASIC's here.
Oh well, a fool and his precious btc were parted. Thank you community for all your skepticism. Feel free to point and laugh at me now.
Prosperity is in general the result of the working of free markets. The one caveat to this observation is that market participants have to be responsible. It doesn't matter so much if they are intelligent or not, it doesn't really matter if they're good christians or devout muslims or anything else, but they do have to be responsible.
When some people behave irresponsibly the result is that they lose their money, which flows, albeit indirectly and circumvolutedly but nevertheless unerringly, to more responsible participants.
When a small majority* of participants behave irresponsibly however the net result is not just pain to their own fortunes, but pain spread across the board. All of a sudden you have to be very intelligent, and very experienced, and very well informed to manage to keep your money safe, and often enough even that's not going to suffice.
Please, stop giving BTC to scammers. It's bad for everyone.
