So many complaints filed against them. But still, I don't think that the customers will ever get their machines or refunds. The BFL staff should be jailed, along with its CEO, for cheating hundreds of millions of $$$ from the unsuspecting customers. A fine is just not enough.

Just +300 , then some still have faith in them apparently. Considering the terrible delays and non-existant useful CS -useful as in saying something actually helpful- . If people could get there refunds this would be more useful than getting them jailed IMO.

Well... if a thief robs someone of his life's savings, his crime does not vanish away if he returns the money. A theft of any sort will be treated as such, although some lenience in the punishment can be given.

It's really amazing just how many "early" companies in the bitcoin space failed in one way or another.  A lot of lessons should have been learned. 
Brunside did an A+ job shutting down his sites, but it's unfortunate that many "companies" didn't survive afterwards and some assholes just ran off with "investors" bitcoins. 
Sorry again to everyone who lost out here. 
I was very close to ordering units from this company, thank goodness I didn't!
