That doesn't make them criminals, and neither does this.
This is the business world. You signed a contract* and paid money. Asicspace failed to deliver as promised, thus defaulting on their side of the contract. That is not theft, that is default.
Sorry, but you clearly have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to legal issues.
You do neither know the content of the contract, the details that have been agreed upon nor the exact chain of events.
Yet, you jump from one assumption to the next assumption, where your clearly lack the required facts upon which your statements should be based in the first place.
That is just not how it works buddy.
They attempted to operate your equipment per the contract and the heat it produced damaged it. They are not criminally liable for this by any law. This is a civil and contractual dispute. I know you aren't in the U.S., but do you really not have this concept of civil court versus criminal court? Theft versus contractual dispute?
I give you a couple hints here, legal lessons for free: the contract is void, due to their inability to perform in the first place. It has been virtually impossible for them to fulfill.
Your lawyer will explain the rest to you. Or wikipedia. Where ever you get your knowledge from these days.
You demanded your equipment be removed long before the contract had ended, and before any investigation that any court would expect could have been completed. You defaulted on the contract as well.
Again, you mix up things where you have no idea how the legal system works: I have at no time given up my ownership of anything. This is like you claiming, that a car parked in a parking garage is during that time the property of the parking garage owner. This is pure nonsense.
Both sides are in default. In my opinion you should get part of your money back, probably most, but I am in no position to judge how much and don't want to be. That's why we have courts.
Jeez, you are contradicting yourself in two sentences: First, you claim both sides are at fault, then you state, that you are in no position to judge at all. Stick to the latter, please!
Asicspace has not blundered.
I'm not sure what you call a long network outage followed by high temperatures on a hot day, but I'm pretty sure someone screwed up somewhere. If they had criminal intent they would have taken everything from everyone and fled. But they are still there, still mining, and they still have paying customers, some happy, some unhappy. What part of that doesn't sound like a blunder?
Again: You are the customer any criminal wishes for. I have seen plenty of your type during the boiler room days.
The intent, the sole intent of the whole operation is not to deliver services. It is to screw their customers over and over and over again.
Be it that the miners are set to mine into their own pockets. Be it, that they deliver less power than paid for. Be it, that they manage and administrate the property of other parties recklessly with no regards to ownership.
This is all the big picture and the driver behind this is criminal intent.
A blunder is an accident. This "blunder" however is an event that happened due to a gamble: the gamble from their sides, whether they could despite their lack of knowledge and technical capabilities deliver a contract that they had nearly no means for to deliver. And which they knew.
At the moment they accepted that gamble, they were hiding the truth, lying and cheating. They did this with intent and hence they did this with criminal energy. Fraud.
They were desperate to get the deal, desperate enough to not care what would have been best in both interests and reckless, when the time would have been right to take responsibility and get things straight again.
