Title: The AVALON Apology Thread
Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on January 31, 2013, 02:16:08 AM
Only post with your apology.

Upon seeing that Jeff has received his unit, no further proof is needed on my end to know that Avalon is probably not a scam. I wish them nothing short of having a successful Batch #2 sellout.

With that, I sincerely apologize to Team Avalon, and thank them for not having their lawyers contact me concerning my libelous post(s).

Rock on Avalon!

Also, I 95% firmly believe that BFL is not a scam.

~Bruno K~

Any other, feel free to also post your apologies like a MAN.

Team Avalon, I apology on behalf of the others who've yet to apologize.

(Note to self: I sure the hell hope that my sincere apology doesn't backfire.)

Good on you for being mature enough to apologize PG. I hope people will keep in mind that Avalon was acting pretty creepy and had some accusations coming IMO.

I would likewise like to apologize to president Obama, and thank Secret Service for not contacting me. He's (probably) not a shape shifting lizard from Mars. I also apologize on behalf of David Icke.
If I don't hear from their lawyer within 24 hours, then what I stated above is indeed fact.

I thought it was a scam when no tracking number was provided.  Avalon did everything a scammer would do right up to the point of telling us that they'd be opening up a second batch for sale, without proof of the first being shipped, available to order in Bitcoin only... They did all this when they could have provided so much more in terms of information and updates.  I mean, could they not show some more pictures... video... mine for a little bit on a test pool... etc...?

It made no sense if they were legit, and huge sense if they were a scam.

So Avalon did the equivalent of a guy running away from a bank with a duffel bag while wearing a ski mask.  Now that we have good reason to believe he didn't rob the bank, all his friends want an apology from the people who thought he probably did.

I was wrong, Avalon is not a scam.  I think they are the first large Bitcoin investment that was not a scam, congratulations :)  Good luck on filling all the orders!

Looks like we currently have two official apologies. Any more?

NOPE
My personal opinion is that :

Jeff is in the AVALON scam too.

24 hours after he received it, he posts 6 real photos and some shit a kid can do with Photoshop, when he knows there are close to a million $$$ at stake.

Why would I apologize for calling out sketchy business practices?

This is, what, your fifth post about this? I can see why your ignore button is piss yellow already and you've only got 95 posts :(


I apologize, Avalon, for thinking you were a scam. I continue to have some shallow doubts, but it appears you are legitimately trying to maintain your business. I wish you the best of luck in completing the shipment of your first batch, as well as the fulfillment of your second batch. Congrats!

If you took the time to read you will see that most of my ignores are from BFL staff, cause I destroyed them in this thread.

Wait, you found a way to get a list of the people who are ignoring you?

I want to see my list, too! Who do I have to suck :-* off? (and kiss?)

The following is what I really wanted to post when I revisited this thread:
