Lets see what happens today, i haven't received any BTC at the moment.
But anyway, the scammer tag should have been given to him and be removed when and if all the refunds are finished  Smiley

Discover started the dispute process... and I was told they received communication back that didn't make sense.

Ugh oh! He's been drinking again!

no I'm sure his communication was "compromised".. theymos will be round shortly to clean up the mess.

Well.. finally making progress on my chargebacks no thanks to Thomas McScam

Have two paper checks FINALLY being ripped and sent via mail...

Opt'd to keep a negative balance on one card and just use that one more..

Thanks for all the hassle Tom McFuckFace!
What are you talking about? Last I heard, 100% of credit card orders were refunded a long time ago.

He offers to trade you high grade Canadian buds for pain killers, 
you send him the pain killers & he never sends you the buds, &
then he try's to blackmail you that if you do NOT send him more
pain killers he will turn you in for mailing narcotic pain meds with
out a prescription!  "

This should have being dug up BEFORE people brought FPGAs.

Wait till you learn how Pastor Tom fucked his flock.

Nice find Phin!  Up until this point, I was giving Tom the benefit of the doubt.  It was very plausible that bASIC was just a failed business, and I accepted the risk that the project might fail when I preordered.  Really, the only part that bothered me was that CC customers were given preferential treatment. If Tom had been extremely transparent about the project's finances, announced the project failed, and then paid back a good chunk of the preorder money, I wouldn't even be too mad.  With the rising BTC price, it might have been possible to return a good chunk of money to customers even if a large amount of USD had been spent developing ASICs.

However, if Tom really does have a history of scamming... I can't sympathize with him.

Tom owes me ~$8600 (8x 72Gh/s, paid in BTC). I will contact a lawyer this week.

what ever happen with this? did he give you a refund???

He should already be flagged as a scammer since mid-Jan.. but he has a protective blanket within these forums..

Oh I see. So basically what I have been seeing is that the whole site is corrupt from the top down, Is that accurate?

Looks like if your a "buddy" or "donor" you can scam.   

More like a blind faith / forgiveness to their good-old-buddy-tom, who had a hard time (*snif*, stealing our money is not easy).

No.
It's difficult to know without a list being published, but of the six people I know personally that have BTC-based ASIC orders with him, five are still awaiting refunds.
The credit card orders did get refunded but we're all still waiting for our asic money back.
