This is such a fucking scam, but, I do love a good "security breach" excuse.
Time for ALL information to be released. Gather up those pitchforks!
I will give him until the end of the weekend to respond with all the information. I don't want to release the info until it's clear there is no progress. I spent a significant amount of time and some money getting all his data. (watch for the Tip jar!) Put up or shut up. This guy hasn't responded. if you have the info make it available. This can't happen to other people. Scam jobs like this are what keep people AWAY from bitcoin. Let someone take legal action and make an example of him and his sockpuppet. Hmmm, your previous message got edited real quick, glad you thought better of it.

I am glad the conversations and pressure I was able to apply has moved the process along. Will keep the pressure on until everyone is satisfied.
If you feel it appropriate, here is the tip jar:

I already have a lawyer lined up in California for anyone that is interested in joining in.
Just PM me and I'll do what I can.
I'd prefer not to release any of Amirs personal information here as there's no need for that, the justice system is here for a reason.
Amirs last name is out in the open, as is his home address in the photos of the chip orders. Besides a phone number, what's the big secret? Does anyone know if they have asked for a refund on the chips?

The DC/DC mosfets are a little hotter than I'd like, they're probably going to require airflow over them or heatsinks on the bottom side. We'll see once the production boards get here; there are layout improvements and a move from 1 oz to 2oz copper vs the prototype, so we might be able to avoid needing to heatsink them. With a couple small RAM heatsinks from an old VGA cooler I have on the underside, I'm seeing ~65C MOSFET temps, so cooling temp without deafening fan noise should be pretty trivial.
Not sure if you might wanna test the MOSFETs you're getting to make sure they actually meet the data sheet spec. Reading between the lines of BFLs (mis)adventures, it seemed like they had that issue. I've also heard rumors of counterfeit parts, meaning you think you got a big name 20A part and it's a remarked POS burning up at 5A. As I recall the issue BFL had was that the boards traces were not hefty enough to handle the unexpected increased power requirements.

Their singles are flying out the door!
Is that because production has ramped up or because orders were thin oct/nov 2012?
Orders were thin for sure. When they hit March/April it will be like June 23rd all over again

At the current rate BFL will knock off approximately 1 month of Single orders every two business days. If they only were doing this back in July ALL the public complaining, Paypal and CC chargeback forced refunds really are having a positive effect on shipments after all I don't think they will. Unless they do it at the expense of Little Singles and Mini-Rigs.

Got a shipping notification from BFL this morning. 60Gh/s Single, order date 11/13/2012; USPS priority
I wouldn't call the shipping estimate a failure, they are clearing 14 days worth of singles in just 1 day.
It's just simple math, They said they estimated they would clear all orders up to April 30th cleared by the end of September. Using your narrow view of just Singles. If they continue to clear 14 days of SINGLES orders a day and they worked EVERYDAY between now and the end of the month they will ship 140 days of singles which would mean they would be close but they DON'T work everyday, they claim full production 6 days a week but the numbers haven't reflected that and they have 2 other product lines to clear as well. They aren't going to make it unless something radical changes. P.S. Until you see an initial scan in your USPS tracking record, it isn't on it's way.

Again Prodigits7 will be in charge of refunds now. He will post to confirm this. He just emailed JohnK all the bank account info.
You don't seem to understand, money/ BTC etc were sent to YOU not Prodigits so unless Prodigits wants to get on here and say "I am now 100% responsible for this entire process" (which he won't) you are still on the hook.

We will be having Sam Cole posting as well and keeping everyone updated. Like I said, keep googling my name and my info all you want but I am not going anywhere. I am not a criminal. This group buy went wrong due to crisis that happened recently in my life.
Gathering of all your information is already complete as I mentioned in my email. Name, Address, City, State, Zip, Phone number, Birthday, photos, where you went to High school, college, facebook pages - Everything So if you are a criminal you are a stupid one (trying to help your cause here) Asking on behalf of the group: Have you cancelled ALL KNC orders? What is the status of the refund from KNC? International Wire transfers do not take this long unless there was a problem with the info provided. Provide a list of refunds you have provided via BTC with transaction records Provide a list of refunds provided via Paypal with transaction numbers Provide an estimate of what is remaining to be done. Your best course of action is constant communications and daily updates. You have handled this all poorly but you can make it right, the choice is now yours.

Is there anyway I could get my BTC refund before the end of today?
I really can't have money tied up in this venture anymore, ragin or prodigits can you please refund me today. You have all my details.
If only huh. Raging/prodigits: What's the status of the refund with KNC? Was a refund actually requested yet? Also, when are they scheduled to ship? Yes refund was already initiated last week daniel. The process is taking time since KnC said the refund to an international bank could take a week or more. We started the process last week with Carl, then on Thursday he came back and asked us for more bank info (ie. routing number, etc.) to make sure the funds get routed properly and it doesn't bounce back. I completely understand the group's frustration and it's truly the worst when you have funds tied up, especially BTCs. I personally had to deal with the whole TradeHill debacle a few years ago so I know well. So that's why right now, I'm trying to refund people back in full from my own BTCs and out of my own shares just to not further delay this process any longer. I've personally already refunded Daniel in FULL, txid: dada844469e8fb3ebdffc249292bf67b93db422025d047b0b6862df5e023efc7 I've also partially refunded piecinitup. They can both confirm this to the group. Please PM me if thats something you guys are interested in. I think a screenshot from KNC that the refund is in process will calm people down.

74 75 198 days of Jalapenos to ship [Updated for Joshs 9/11/13 New Date of April 30th 2013] 152 154 175 299 Days of Little Singles [Updated for Joshs 9/11/13 New Date of April 30th 2013] 178 209 257 404 days of Singles [Updated for Joshs 9/11/13 New Date of April 30th 2013] 280 311430 days of Mini-rig orders. [Updated for Joshs 9/11/13 New Date of April 30th 2013] 684 749 product line days left to ship They are shipping 21 product line days (product line days is the combined amount of days of all products) on average each day. They need 32 35 more days (shipping 7 days a week) to get to the end of April. They have 10 days left until their latest self imposed deadline. guess wild ass guess estimation goal. I am thinking Thanksgiving to clear all product lines to April 30th, then to end of February (just before Monarch) to finish. Timer removed. End time: 2013-09-30+23:59:59UTC Oh and here is the new bullshit update on shipping the balance of the backlog posted last night: "We will have shipped all of the 65nm product before we begin shipping Monarch products."and the bar moves again! This, I assume supersedes the comment made on 9/11/13 that said: "The goal is still to get through ~April orders by the end of September."https://twitter.com/BFL_News
