You might want to post your correspondence with BFL about your refund here.

I have a chip that hashes twice as fast as BFL's best chip, costs half as much, and ships two weeks earlier than their stuff.
Send me your BTC and I will send you the chip.
The company is named AFL2.0 or something that markets well.

(space reserved for things that tap into the reptilian brain of people with more BTC than sense)

Almost April, and nobody has a Monarch?
I wonder if Luke will get paid to claim he had one shipped to him.

Except you are actually a shill, according to the definition supplied. I am sure all the gifts BFL has given you are just like donations given to Congresscritters. No official quid pro quo, but BFL sure would appreciate it if you could white knight them on the forums. I am sure the PR department at BFL was very kind to you and you are just returning that kindness by tirelessly championing them on these forums. After all, if you had gotten an early release Monarch, that would be a very lucrative "gift" and would make all this effort on your part pay off.

The only evidence you have presented for me being a troll is that I bring up facts that are inconvenient to your task of BFL white knight.

As for the power supply, just because BFL gave you one that works does not mean they gave everyone a power supply that works. Apply Occam's razor:
a) Your BFL power supply does not contain the manufacturing flaw that others of it's type do.
b) BFL gave you a high quality power supply, but some others received lower quality power supplies.
c) Bicknellski has organized a group of people from around the world to falsely represent their experience with BFL on various internet forums.

See? When someone corrects you, you reach for the "troll" label.
You have consistently supported BFL in the face of massive evidence to the contrary.
You make statements that defy belief in your many attempts on these forums to legitimize BFL.
You were part of the junket trip to BFL where bitcoin and devices were handed out in return for unnamed services rendered.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill
A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization.

You fit the bill for a shill.

BFL is as legit as Mt. Gox, MF Global, and Madoff Investment Securities LLC. 

Typical BFL shill, calls us trolls for being able to do basic physics. Straight out of the Zerlan playbook.

You should keep facts away from bcp19. The two tend to react violently when mixed together.   

FYI, everyone who ordered from BFL and has not yet received their equipment is eligible for a full refund. If they don't give it to you, take them to small claims court and get a judgement against them. Then get that judgment enforced in Kansas. You don't need a lawyer, shouldn't cost more than $50.

Technically, they are below the mean. But since half the people you tell the joke to don't know what the mean is...
 

Dumb people will always fall for the "too good to be true" scam if it is sold well. The left side of the IQ curve will be there no matter how much the supply and demand even out.

From the original post in the topic quoting Josh:

Current chip production has an expected delivery date in early/first half of December. We expect to have chips at that time and hope to have our first units shipped out the door by the end of December. We did not reach our goal of November delivery.

Today we find out the chips won't be ready for another 5 weeks.
BFL ran the exact same scam as last year, and may have made even more off it this time around.
Meanwhile difficulty is at 3,815,723,799 and growing.

So, BFL is going to be even later than they were with their first chip. Is it "5 more weeks" TM?

The problem was positively identified and the fix is already in progress; however it will take approximately 5 weeks before we get packaged chips in hand...

People who pre-ordered a monarch back in Sept of 2013 paid about 20 BTC for it. A monarch will probably never mine that much BTC even if it could do 600 GH/s and was delivered tomorrow. More likely, BFL product will do less than advertised and will be delivered sometimes between April and Oct (just like in last year's nooblet roast).

Those who pre-ordered in December might have only paid 3-4 BTC for one. They might be able to mine that much back with it (if it ever arrives), which would be amazing.

That is actually true. By the time BFL develops and ships a product, it is way past it's end of life.

They are testing their new Google AdWords campaign to ensnare more unsuspecting nooblets.

So another 2 weeks and no progress? BFL.

Half way through February and still nothing from BFL? November 2013 looking SOLID!

BFL cannot ever deny a refund for product that has not shipped. However, BFL has systematically denied refunds (even during the time frame mentioned).  Most people who got refunds did so by badgering Paypal or their credit card companies.

BCP19 has too much ego to admit that he has been white knighting a company who ripped him off (along with several hundred other consumers).

All the plaintiff need do is demonstrate how much BTC a device in the first batch of Avalon mined to demonstrate potential earnings lost. BFL was to deliver in 3 batches, the first batch would have mined a mint had it been delivered on time (or anywhere near it).

No. You did not "know" the risks. BFL misinformed you. Had BFL been honest and forthright with their issues instead of regurgitating "two more weeks", then you would have known the risks. Mr Meissner has a case, it is up to a judge (and possibly jury) to decide what sort of damages are in order.

Why are they "trolls" if they accurately point out something? Do you have to ridicule people who present facts inconvenient to your argument?

We also don't care what color your cat is, what kind of car you drive, and if you have erectile dysfunction. However, this being the internet, if any of your lady friends have nice tits, we would appreciate pics.
