Important features to observe here:

Static dissipative flooring
Ceiling tiles are flow through, typical of a well designed clean room
HVM equipment, not a pile of hobby shop junk
Hair nets and gloves to keep everything clean
Staff wearing static free smocks (tiny conductive fibers in those prevent charges from building up)

From left to right in the image:
Paste printing tool - either flux or solder paste depends on what they are doing
3 High speed pick and place systems with tape and reel for chips and passive devices
A reflow oven capable of running hundreds of boards / hour

You know they mean business when they have the Go/Warn/Stop indicator at each station  8)

BFL might have had that too.  But I bet 10 months of the 'equipment idle' alarm going continuously got to be annoying.  ;D

You are one smart, but evil SOB. (That is a compliment my good sir.) Your knowledge and background put Josh to shame.

Yeah, doesn't look like Avalons are being built on recycled eBay equipment in a small office.

Oh yeah? But do they have 2x4s to rest their machines on? Didn't think so.

Josh kicks my ass on scamming.  A little birdie told me you can find settlements in his name for click fraud and illegal satellite decoders. No wonder Sonny welcomed him to the BFL club.

As for evil... well, I'm more of a bastard.

Evil is:
Announcing a vapor product last June because professionals were entering the FPGA market and about to clean your clock
Taking millions in pre-orders promising a delivery date that was impossible
Creating the false sense that you'll be shipping next week, when you are months away, and keeping it up for 6 months
Advertising all over the internet to get more investors suckers without documenting how many orders are ahead of you in the queue
Pretending that you can build thousands of units / week when you can't even demonstrate a functioning prototype

I could go on all night, but I need to scrape together a few more coins to buy the only real ASIC in Bitcoin.

Can you please give us some proof for this?

It's all public record.

Translation: no.

Translation google it yourself.  I can be bothered to weed through all the SEO sites Josh bought to try to bury the data.

Feel free to post a bounty for the information in BTC, and I might be motivated to find it.

may just be a coincidence that a guy with the SAME name from the SAME state had this "happen to him.   Sort of like all the lemmings they got to post that Sonny the lottery scammer was a DIFFERENT person then the BFL Sonny (the ASIC expert).   They even got that magazine to write an article explaining these coincidences.

lol

BFL's company officers have more skeletons in their closets than most anatomy professors. What a sick joke this is turning out to be.
