According to Allen, an employee of Genesis Mining, Tony Alex(a shipping company representative who supplied Bitmain's mining rigs to Genesis Mining) has not reached an agreement on operating profits with Genesis Mining.

The shipment from China to Ireland was almost exclusively owned by Tony Alex, an Irish native, so when Tony outed, Genesis Mining have difficulty in supplying mining rigs.

Marco Streng(genesis mining CEO) contracted immediately with a new shipping company. However, the shipment market between Ireland and China is so small that it seems to be difficult to supply rigs.

Allen also said Tony had squeezed Jake Martin, a mining equipment technician at Genesis Mining. So now Genesis Mining is preparing a lawsuit against Tony.

He said new S9 rigs will be in stock in March 2018. But it is said that the quantity is very low.
