Sounds fair, you early "investors"  funded their mining ventures.

I don't think filing FTC complaint against BFL is really enough. Just think about, they use my money to build a hardware, which they use to mine a currency. I mean even at their website, you can see the picture; lines of servers filled up with mining cards, we are waiting for. In mean time they sell the hashing power we've paid for, to other people. They offer it like its available. And they tell me, I should wait. Actually they don't tell me anything, cause they don't respond to my emails.

Like I said, we should file for dividends, not for refunds.

Well, I don't thing is about loosing potential gains, its more about right and wrong. If we let people like that run businesses in this country, we gonna end up on the streets.

You can't be really timid about it, business is about contract between buyer and seller. If the seller doesn't follow good business conduct, the seller becomes liable.

I just wonder; they hold my money for five months, and it wasn't a loan. They either refuse, or can't deliver the promised merchandise. More likely refuse, because it makes so much profit for them. I would say I am an investor in the company, and they should pay dividends on my investment. What's your thought on this, and how many of you out there, waiting for the promised hardware.

And don't forget one thing, the hardware you have ordered in June, is obsolete, and substandard today. Last but not least, the amount of bitcoin, is set, it won't last forever. They will run out next year. Not much time left...

Peace.

Sorry to hear, jarr.  There are a lot of people who jumped in late and are eating the very end of the stick with this company still.  I'm glad they changed their product and raised prices which forced me to turn way from buying more equipment from them.  The only thing you can do is only wait or try to get a refund.  Keep querying them about your order status maybe. 

Lots of people lost out huge potential gains because of this company, asking for BTC only payments originally for the early adoptors.  Not sure of your situation but it's a life lesson.  Always do your due diligence, in everything.

It's not some case of a guy scamming people on ebay. We're taking about large company, with large production capabilities. When this thing brakes, they gonna see FBI braking their gates, and helicopters will fly above them. I guess the greed knows no boundaries.

People who work there, know enough about what's going on in there, and keep their mouths shut, and that's a felony.

We got our miners - it did take time, but they arrived. Be patient. The ROI (despite what people are saying) is still easy to obtain. In 6 weeks of mining, we've recouped almost 50% of our investment. No logical reason not to break even in less than 3 months and have 9 months of pure profit this year alone.

It's been 144 days, since I've placed an order with BL for mining equipment, well..almost five months.

No equipment have arrived, they don't respond to phone calls, they don't respond to emails.

I tried to file dispute claim with PayPal, it won't even go through, I only wonder how deep this thing goes. It must be the biggest scum of of the 21st. They use our money to build the mining equipment, and then they use it for themselves, and obviously make millions in process. It's a well known secret that Butterfly Labs runs a large mining operation, while pre-ordered customers are waiting for the hardware.

Well, I don't intend to waste any of my time anymore, I'm gonna alert every government agency in the country what's going on their turf, under their noses. We all know about Butterfly Labs CEO, a simple criminal. I'm sure people who work for him, know it too, and cover for him. The time will come for everybody to answer.

Looking for a few good, ambitious lawyers, to start class action suit against mullti million dollar company.

Let me know what you think about it.

Peace.
