WTF! Removing caps like that can easily leave the pieces of the leads attached to the pcb and cause a massive short.
Not to mention manually twisting them off with your hands while they still hold charge. |

I would suggest all victims to chip in whatever amount you can in this law suite in order to escalate the process and cover associated fees or if someone needs to go Hong Kong to meet Police / Hong Kong Consumer Council if necessary. Ofcourse, this is up to Bticz who is organising the campaign.
People don't realize one thing, even if you take everyone and go for refund, if company really spent money on parts they won't be able to refund you and will file bankruptcy instead, that means no one will get anything, not hardware not software if i understand that part with bankruptcy correctly. Or if someone could explain how it works. Tell your boss / lover / other side of your brain (whichever it is) Alex Sovu that the only way to get out of any of this is to refund all pending orders that he has failed to service. |

The deletions are on almost perfect 15 minute intervals, +/- only a few seconds.
It's an automated script that's targeting certain user accounts.
From what I understand the public-facing Bitcointalk API does not support that, so they took the time and effort to develop it directly communicating via https.

Awesome job staying firm with BA over the pm's. It was déjà vu reading it because this guy said a lot of the exact same things to me. The whole thing reeks of desperation from their side.

Just as a procedural question here, is there a certain date that we should resubmit to you by if we don't hear from the lawyers?
My questions above concerning vetting were purely hypothetical and not intended to constitute any kind of allegations, I just thought from a common sense perspective that given how brutal BA's tactics have been, a lot of people are likely to be paranoid about the situation. I actually sent my info several days ago, I figure worst case scenario, what more could BA actually do to hurt me?

It's very disturbing that you're getting this defensive over simply suggesting that you need to be vetted in some way to be organizing this kind of action.
The reason London is suspicious is because Alex Sovu is in Reading.

Satoshi doesn't necessarily need to actually be anybody famous or prominent that's on the radar of any of the relevant academic disciplines.
There are a lot of intelligent people out there with backgrounds in technical areas such as engineering, the basic sciences, applied mathematics, etc. who are likely to have an understanding of coding on a non-professional level, and have the general aptitude to be able to understand enough about cryptography and the work of people like Szabo, Back, etc. on a hobbyist basis without professionally or academically appearing anywhere whatsoever in anything relevant to Bitcoin.

Just ignore Professor Chinavolume, he's not interested in real conversations, he just provokes you so he can launch into tl;dr preconceived sophomoric monologues. Very stereotypical inferiority complex behavior for mediocre professional academics filling a hole in their heart because they do not get the esteem they expected from their real life interpersonal relationships.

I'm quite happy to talk with Pentax and see if i can put his mind at rest.. maybe we can work out a calling time or something. I work in london, so if anyone wants to meet for a pint and discuss it  well.. im open for that too ! I would recommend doing something like this as soon as possible, because people need to know that this isn't Black Arrow themselves collecting a list of names of people to target, as well as sidetracking their own legal efforts by convincing them they're involved in a class action. The London location also will arouse suspicion in alot of potential claimants. |

I need proof. I need something tangible and solid. There's a lot of people here making a lot of claims, that sound really feasible, but I have no facts to print. Submit news tips to CCN with proof, and I'll print it. You want BA's bad side to be shown? Show it to me, with hard evidence. That's what I need to print a story.
What proof can people that haven't received a miner give you? There are plenty of proofs of miners catching fire and proofs of deleted forum posts available around here. Bingo. That is exactly what I'm dealing with. I have a horde of people making possibly feasible allegations, but they can't provide proof because they physically have none. Then I have Black Arrow defending against those allegations, but they can't really provide proof either, making this a big "he said she said" battle. My back is against a wall here, and I'm getting blamed for "taking the side of Black Arrow." The only hard evidence I've published is the miner catching fire. They had pictures. Those were published, and I don't think anyone has any doubt in their mind that miner caught fire. So that's a start, but that's all I've got. So if I'm to understand this correctly, you want to write articles without doing any research, so it's the responsibility of the customers to seek you out and do your work for you? And so far the only person you've found who is willing to do that for you is Alex "Berk", the criminal alias of Alexandru Ion Sovu, Romanian fugitive wire fraud felon, so you parrot whatever he says about the situation, agree with it in the article, and then also get to say that your report is objective? I have a better idea, if you're not willing to do actual journalism by doing your own research and following leads yourself, then don't write articles. If you can't be bothered to do your own research/investigation, then you're a flak just typing up press releases. Which is EXACTLY what your "articles" read like. |

Alright everybody, here's the deal. I'm the journalist behind the CryptoCoinsNews article about BA responding to the accusations we received in an anonymous news tip. Since then, I've been tipped on a lot of other happenings in the BA world that sound malicious.
I'm on mobile, and for some reason can't post the article link. Excellent. If you want to look it up, it's on CCN.
So I did the digging, found truth to the accusations, and reached out to BA for response. They responded, so I printed it. If you all notice, I did not take sides. I presented each side, laid everything out on the table (including pictures and facts) and printed their response.
BA did not trick me. They simply addressed the accusations. But some people may have took CCNs printing of that to be taking a side, and that side is BA. That's not the case.
I need proof. I need something tangible and solid. There's a lot of people here making a lot of claims, that sound really feasible, but I have no facts to print. Submit news tips to CCN with proof, and I'll print it. You want BA's bad side to be shown? Show it to me, with hard evidence. That's what I need to print a story.
You've got to be kidding us. You go ahead and parrot and agree with Alex Sovu's ridiculous claims about competitors infiltrating threads on the basis of nothing, and then ask us for "hard evidence"? |

The invoice screenshot is definitely fake.
CardReaderFactory is Black Arrow, and Missouri immediately makes you think of BFL.
That seems very deliberately chosen to push some buttons.

Sadly I think all of you people with the black arrow problems will be wasting your time suing. I hope I am wrong but I doubt criminal charges will result of these lawsuits.
With that sad I wish you all good luck! I hope the people responsible are punished so hopefully this will not happen so often.

The most difficult part would actually be collecting, but it's very important to follow through on this, because this Alexandru Ion Sovu guy is really dangerous having all of our personal information pertaining to the orders. We need to go after him even if it doesn't necessarily easily result in restitution. |

I've decided that you guys are welcome to keep my money, as long as Alex Sovu uses it to visit a psychiatrist.

This isn't like before where he could just flee Romania and lay low as a fugitive.
By the looks of it, it's actually better since there is nothing going on. Maybe you can prove me wrong by taking him to curt. Please elaborate exactly how you know there's nothing going on? |

What are the odds that this Sovu criminal just commits suicide once he realizes how much shit he's in?

Seriously, and this is from a professional company? Lawyers and consumer organizations will love this! DebitMe, I suggest you start a new thread with almost the exact title and add [unmoderated] and we'll use that one instead this one. Agreed. Whether or not DebitMe is a current customer, former customer or just an outside observer is irrelevant. This kind of extreme unprofessionalism is the kind of behavior that could well be the nail in the coffin for BA when this debacle lands in court somewhere. This is no longer just deceptive business practices and fraudulent activity, this is a full-blown personality disorder we're witnessing right before our eyes. |

I've suspected this for a while in hearing from them on the forums, but this basically confirms that Alex Sovu is mentally ill and needs to be forcibly stopped. |

I'm sure the Hong Kong CC will be very interested in this manner of dealing with the most simple customer inquiry possible:  |

The only real impediment to filing a complaint is that BA is constantly feeding us amazing statements to include in the claim. That last hissy fit is definitely something that Hing Kong authorities need to see.
