Nice idea Syke ... I never saw a contract though, not sure there ever was one ... If you got one then please share.
I'm not a lawyer, but I certainly had to have an understanding of contract law when I studied management all those years ago.
Even today contracts are a normal part of my business life.
In a nutshell that is
Offer
Acceptance
Consideration
Certainty

Of course there's no "official" contract. This was a "business" run by a novice with no understanding of how to run a legitimate business.
But being the wise scammer he is, he quietly changed the details and deleted posts to hide the conditions promsied.

1. Of course we are hashing, otherwise we would be paying our users out of our own pockets and that would eventually make us bankrupt. We are here to succeed and have paid out our customers on time since our launch.
2. There are no mining pool fees to the customer. We cover our own mining fees from our pool workers which the customer will never have to see.
Instead, the customer is payed based on this fixed formula, taken right from our PHP script:
$per24 = ($totalHashingPower * 25 / $difficulty) * (60 * 60 * 24 * 65535 * pow(10,6) / pow(2,48));
This formula is standard with all Bitcoin Profit Calculators. Our users do not mine directly with our hardware -- the advantage of this is that we are capable of insuring them during any downtime or performance reductions. PB Mining guarantees a fixed rate of hash power at 100% efficiency -- a luxury you will not find anywhere else.

If it was a case of disagreement with a shop, then yes it would be a civil matter. However in this situation the shop has a disagreement will all of its customers and that changes things. Because of the potential size of this and the way it appears to have been structured, there is a much larger set of legal remedies available and potentially criminal too.
The criminal element would be, if it can be proven Boyko knowingly setup a ponzi scheme with the deliberate intention of defrauding the people that invested in it.
That is a common element of the law in many countries, I cannot see it being markedly different in Canada.
Other than that, it appears to be a case of a business, a company failure and as such normal receivership and liquidation under company law would apply.
There are likely to be legal remedies and charges that could be laid against Boyko under Canadian Company Law which could see Boyko being banned as a director and fined and if the offending is deemed severe enough there may potentially be more significant punishments.
This is all pie in the sky at the moment ... Yes, something has gone terribly wrong inside PB mining and we the customers are bearing the brunt of it with the possibility looming of total failure and complete loss. But there is a way to go before we get to that stage.
People can yell and scream as much as they want, but there is a set legal process and procedure that will need to be followed and adhered too to bring the company and it's directors to justice. Baying for blood and making threats is not going to help matters or speed them up.
It appears several approaches to authorities in Canada have been made. Those must now be left to investigate and decide on what actions are appropriate. As much as it sucks, all we can do is wait and see what happens.

To date, PBM are still paying a weekly "consideration" even though it's much less than is desirable, it's still being paid
It could be claimed that there is no "certainty" of the future for the contract, this is moot and yet to be tested, but is likely.
So on that basis, it's going to be a long tough call to prove default of contract, and frankly, I think that at the moment the ability to prove default is lacking because there is a difficulty proving "intent" on the part of Boyko to default.
Once weekly payouts stop or an announcement is made that the agreed 5 year term will not be honored is made, then there will be a clear and potentially provable breach of the contract.
But as the "offer" and the "consideration" have never been defined in "terms of the law" it's going to be a difficult case.
Dunno what the phase would be over there but here (UK) it would probably be classified as a "civil matter". Same as if you have a disagreement with a shop, you cannot have them arrested for short changing you. You take them to court and eventually you may get some recompense.
I think we can kiss the "5 years" goodbye and at best hope they split the remaining Btc proportionally between us.
From now on, getting your knickers in a twist that "he said this but did that" is as useful as posting your account details.

As long as he pays something he is not reneging on your contract
Not true. Contracts were sold with a specific payout formula. He is no longer adhering to the original payout formula, therefore he is violating the contracts.

* hey, investor respect, is that enough for you to accuse me of being Jason Boyko again ??
If it's not, let me know and I'll try and do better next time OK ?
According to this insane logic the Yankees would be able to pay A-rod the minimum salary this year instead of the 21 million they agreed to because they are still giving him consideration.
He said he would give you the payout from x hashes, he isn't, he is a scamming scammer. If you can't see that please find someone to manage your money and your life because it's all going to be gone soon.

Consider one of the oldest scams ... the shell game ... everyone knows it's a scam and it cannot be won, but it's still around today ...
Not that it has anything to do with unregistered securities whatsoever, but being around doesnt make legal: http://articles.latimes.com/2009/dec/10/local/la-me-shell-game10-2009dec10

The more of this kind of psycho garbage that gets away
the more this whole fucking marketplace will go down the
crapper. That´s why I keep saying that a message has to
be sent to improve marketplace behavior. The way to deal
with garbage is not to pile it up in your kitchen, right ?
You take it out.

I hope you dont actually believe its that easy to scam people without breaking a bazillion laws.
I'll just (re)state the most obvious, since PB was claiming to get its revenue from "other sources": selling of unregistered securities. Thats all you need to demand a full refund.

taunt their victims. They know that there will be no consequences.
If people think that psychopaths can be reasoned with they´re
obviously totally delusional.
