My bitcoin bASIC order ended up in address 19Ysizrie7XAGcqSTzhCTsMTuUaFU1hCEa. Several bitcoin bASIC refunds came from that address. As of now, 2/3/2013, that address is empty. I still haven't been paid. Perhaps there are no bitcoins left for bASIC to refund with.
So more evidence that the BTC payments were NOT converted to USD and thus you guys should be getting 100% of the BTC you paid into this failure, regardless of exchange rate.

I requested my refund on the 13th of Jan. Dave answered me on 17th of Jan and told me that he added me to the btc refund list. No sign of my money yet.
This is sad
..wonder if we should setup a collection bounty at this point of time.

As far as I know, no confirmation of a BTC refund after 12th of Jan.
So no BTC refund yet?
Just wanted to report that I received my second CC refund yesterday. No sign of the last remaining refund though, which was in BTC.
Also waiting for my BTC refund 3 weeks now.
At first all these ASICs manufacturers were not scammers since they were also FPGA developers
and they did deliver!
Now, i wonder....

Well, I don't remember Pirate refunding 2/3rds of what was owed before running off with the rest, but I could be wrong.
Even assuming he wasn't lying about the proportion of payments, those 2/3rds were credit card payments, which means that most of the customers could've got their money back via chargebacks. Now when that happens, Tom's credit card processor is forced to pay out from their own funds and get the money back from Tom, meaning they'd lose more than enough money to justify legal action against him. They also have his name, address and ID. Bitcoin customers tend to be a lot more reluctant to sue and a lot less capable of doing so.Don't bother replying to idiots who still think Tom isn't a scammer.
Because of these idiots, this community will get scammed again and again.
If all of you work together, you can pay a small sum for PI to find exactly where Tom is.
Like I've stated earlier in this thread a couple days ago.. it amazes me how many people are still "Team Tommy" after all this.. lol

Im pretty sure he knows none of us would come after it if he did run off... this community barely does anything to get their scammed money back. oh wellz.. If I dont get my btc back, its probably the end of btc for me. Had enough of this BS
This is becoming more frustrating as each day passes and no answer from him. Even if this turns out not to be a scam, its totally unacceptable. I did get an answer from Dave though, however he once again explained he doesn't have direct access to the BTC purse, so there goes our chance for a refund. I think this is it. The end of this week is pretty decisive and with all this money involved, Tom better be prepared to run or be gone already. Thats all I'm saying.
What does it matter how much Pirate he is.
The fact that he refuses to communicate with us itself is unacceptable and should get him scammer tagged (as we don't have a "maybe not a scammer but don't do business with" tag). Till he refunded us we're still his fucking customers. What kind of business refuses to communicate with it's customers? Srsly, wtf is this shit. Not even a small "btc refunds might take x more days cause y" post (not that I would put a lot of trust in it but still).
