I know this has been pointed out before,
but people should take a good look at how the last project ended that lifeforcepools and Xircom pushed: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=485237.380
Over the course of the whole sad story the same promises were made and the same stalling-tactics were used.
In the MAT-case hundreds of people lost their investment, averaging around $7k per person.
This project might be targeting a different pricepoint, but the pattern that shows in the development of this thread is just too familiar.

My advice: if you payed using paypal or something similar that has a buyers protection period, DO NOT LET IT PASS!
Recall your payment and get your money back if they do not deliver in the timeframe advertised.

M.A.T. just declared bankruptcy: http://www.wijlimburg.nl/nieuws-overzicht/bitcoinbedrijf-maastricht-bouwbedrijf-van-den-heuvel-landgraaf-en-hanssen-electro-hoensbroek-failliet/
Of course Marc Coumans must have known about and planned for this for a long time. Proving him to be the liar and thief everyone suspected him to be.
The contact of the bureau dealing with this bankruptcy case is: curator mr. C.F.M.P. Spreksel, Wilhelminasingel 63, 6221 BG Maastricht tel. 043-3432859

Happy new year!

So the german Mimocloud have also removed any sign of MAT, their former partner, from their website.
Would be interesting to know if they ever got their money back..

Meanwhile MAT is STILL advertising their 6TH Titanium and the Excaliburs on their website.
Also Marc Coumans and his team apparently are still sending out emails on a daily basis, telling people lies about how their miners/refunds will arrive soon.
The criminal energy with this guy is just amazing. Even his LinkedIn profile is down..
It cannot possibly be worth it for him in the long run.
Or can it?

As a short update on December 18th:
contrary to their announcement https://www.mining-asics-technologies.com/newsflash-mat-24-11-2014/, MAT has not reopened their shop on December 1st. They only offer extremely expensive hosting contracts. Also they are not refunding customers who have bought excalibur miners. In their last 'newsflash' they said that they had turned the refunding-business over to a third party without any explanation whatever that may mean. They do not answer questions about this matter. The only people who are known to have received their refunds are people who hired themselves a lawyer and sued. In all known cases MAT agreed to a settlement (payed refunds).
Anyone without legal representation is apparently very much out of luck at the moment concerning their investment.
MAT has been sending emails for months now telling customers that they will receive their creditnote/refund soon, without anyone ever getting their money back. This is exactly the same stalling tactic they used when they were pushing the delivery-deadlines from July to December and further.
Everybody who wants their money back from this company is well advised to stop giving in to their deceitful manipulations (promises via email/website, sockpuppets, psy-op photoshoots) and get legal counsel now!

To Dida, Chong Chaw Yhee and the others who had their picture taken at the MAT-office:
you are doing the community a great disservice by lending credibility to this criminal through your pictures and posts!
Marc Coumans still owes hundreds of customers their refunds. EVERYONE who preordered from MAT lost money.
From shipping dates to powerconsumption to the actual non-production of the bitcoinminers (the list goes on..), it has been nothing but lies and manipulation by this sociopath and his cronies.
Now you are playing along in his game. This way you are helping him evade justice and even more gullible people might fall for his scam.
You have let yourselves be manipulated into becoming his accomplices AND you have lost most of your investment anyways.

Unfortunately this still doesn't prove anything.
The orders apparently are not being shipped in numerical order, one after the other.
it looks like MAT is shipping out a couple of random orders in hope of stalling the lawsuits that are rolling in and keeping the community confused.
And last but not least, these machines look so much like rebranded alcheminers it's uncanny.
Oh, and then there's the fact that NO ONE has received a refund yet. Many people have applied for a refund half a year ago and have seen nothing so far...

...every weekend. This has been going on for months now!
