Topic: Time to sue ButterflyLabs - Big Single-SC owner let's league for class action - page 5. (Read 39351 times)

There's nothing in there about BFL or Bitcoin.  Why would there be? 

It is United States sales contract law that applies to all sales.  Somebody could easily sue your company for sales of late and/or defective hardware.  Since you made sales within the United States you are bound by contract law. 

That link specifically tells you that you don't need a contract to exercise your rights.  You making a business sale to a consumer binds you to certain regulations in the US that are common law when it comes to sales contracts.  "A Remedy at Law is a right that is automatically available to a contracting party."  When you made a sale to a consumer and they paid you, you entered into a contract to deliver that product at a widely advertised date that you didn't come within countless months of meeting and refused to refund people their money.

You unquestionably violated those provisions, which is why I stated earlier that I am surprised nobody has sued your company yet for horrendously late delivery than what you openly advertised all over the internet in your giant big budget advertising campaign.  It would be simple to prove in court that you widely advertised a deadline and made thousands of sales to people based on that deadline and then refused to refund customers when you failed to meet that deadline.

Do you see any other companies that operate this way in the US?  No?  That's because it's against the law and if somebody does pony up for a lawyer it would be an easy case to prove that you violated basic United States sales contract law.  It is also why all of your payment companies reversed your payments.  It simply is not legal to operate a business like you do.

If you wanted to bring yourself into compliance with the law you would refund anybody who wants to cancel their preorder on the grounds that you have failed to deliver in the specified timeframe.  Eventually somebody with deep pockets is going to get burned by you and you are going to have a lawsuit on your hands.

I'll give you a free tip.  If you want to bring your company into compliance with the law then you need to refund orders when you haven't delivered within your timeframe you have publicly advertised that the product will be delivered.  Not only is this the right and decent thing to do, it is also the law of the land when it comes to sales contracts.

 

bullshit baffles brains ! Don't no what ur talking about man.

Huh, funny, I don't see BFL or Bitcoin anywhere in that link.  Can you show me your contract?  You wouldn't be lying, would you?

Of course there are.


Here is an excerpt from a site from an ACTUAL (not internet) lawyer.  Sales contracts have certain automatic protections that don't even have to be in the contract.  This is common law in the United States.  If you want to read about sales contract law yourself on a site by an actual lawyer, click this link where I got the excerpt:

Well, BFL is still holding 250 dollars of me after the confirmed that they refunded me.

That is stealing and a criminal offence. If i was living nearby there would at least be some casualties at there office. Got to let my anger reflect at something

It still is just plain funny that some people are still happy when they receive there bfl bag of stones. Thats what the BFL's are.

Even when the Monarch wille ever come in 2014 you should be happy to ever make a bitcoin.

Man...this forum is full of "internet lawyer", every one want sue BFL...no day without a new Pitchfork style treads like "Time to sue BFL vol. 15"
It's boring...

No one have balls...and something to actually sue for... 

Is that why you stopped accepting PayPal and credit cards after you guys got your asses handed to you in all your disputes and chargebacks?  Because nobody had a legitimate case against you?  It would seem that every professional financial company disagrees with you which is why you have to do business in BTC only now.

... Except for that entire part where real lawyers view your actions as a legitimate breach of contract case.

 You are absolutely right that you need something to actually sue for; your current product offerings are arguably worthless - much like your estimimates.

*mumbles something about reality*

That would require having something to actually sue for.  Piss poor internet lawyers aside, a real lawyer would tell you that you have no case.

I'm surprised nobody has actually done this yet.  They sold a bunch of those minirigs for $20k+ and nobody can afford a lawyer to sue these guys?

Funny how BFL fails to follow FTC regulations. At some point it won't require a lawsuit.

Funny how many people say law suit... Anyone ever actually filed one?

Josh is calling us animals lol


Josh in his respond:

I'm sorry that you feel deceived. I have never replied to anyone on Facebook to speak of, so I don't know what you're referring to, perhaps if you can provide a link?

Please stop lying about the forum moderation. The only time posts are "cleaned" is when they are redundant, trolls or spammy. There are plenty of negative posts on the forum and anyone with any ounce of integrity would already know that and admit the fact that these forums are not censored beyond removing the most useless or trollish posts. If your post was removed it was because it held absolutely no value and did not belong on the forums. If you want your posts to remain, you have to post like an adult and not a kid throwing a tantrum, which many of your posts are. I'm sorry that you feel the BFL forums are too mature for you, but if you want to act like a child please go to Bitcointalk... that is the playground for people acting like animals, not here.

How did that work out for you Josh... did you get free cable?

Seems like someone should investigate the link between the pool Inaba runs and BFL shipping delays. Sort of like GM making a car driving it around for 12 months and then rolling back the odometer and saying it is a new car right?

if you sue - you only get the damages lost - there is no way to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that mining income had been lost and furthermore to identify what that exact amount of mining revenue is.  There is no way to prove the value of the income lost because they would need to establish a bona fide shipping date within the receipt terms...it wasn't.  The law makes judgments and issues punitive damages on past proven figures...not subjective speculations - as someone here points out earlier, you only see your money refunded to you...not the speculated gains that could have been mined and/or sold.  I am no lawyer...that was just my opinion at work.

BFL is the easier target and people really need to look at making the FBI aware of Inaba's pool operations and BFL... maybe they need to look at money laundering?

I really believe a CLASS ACTION should be given....

So other companies will not FOLLOW their foot steps...

BFL started it all... (YEARS)

then AVALON...    (MONTHS)

then bitfury (not sure how many days... but I have seen people saying about delays)

and now KNC... (still not too bad with only weeks delay "for now", but still unacceptable...)



PS. bitfury/knc... I cannot really say much... as im not that active in forum but I saw a few threads about their order DELAYS...

They only show up between the 1st and 2nd post on each page.  That means on average you should only see them every 20 posts.
