In crypto-speak,
bitroll, e.g., BFL and BitPay announced that HashTrade paid a $1M down payment to BFL using BitPay as the third party payment processor offering up an image and link to HashTrade's
1QAHVyRzkmD4j1pU5W89htZ3c6D6E7iWDs bitcoin wallet address as proof of said transaction when said address belonged BFL and it was said address that the FTC briefly had control of after their raid on BFL, with moneys still being laundered by BFL via BitPay via said address to some unknown bank account under Sonny Vleisides' control days priors to said raid.
The
bitroll was designed to garner tens of millions of dollars of sales of which it succeeded. Now, thousands of BFL customers are awaiting their refunds of which BFL is claiming that their coffer is about dried up while still sitting on millions of dollars worth of bitcoins, not to mention that Josh Zerlan is residing in a fully paid for home purchased via bitcoins linked indirectly to the
1QAHVyRzkmD4j1pU5W89htZ3c6D6E7iWDs BWA to the tune of over half a million dollars, said home cleverly dubbed the
BTC-House.

bitroll here:
BF Labs, Inc. Processes $1 Million Bitcoin Merchant Transaction for Institutional Bitcoin Mining Hardware Purchase: Butterfly Labs Announces $1 Million Down-Payment on Multi-Million Dollar Order for Next Generation Bitcoin Mining Hardware. Deposit will help enable production of innovative 28nm Monarch card.
If you ask me, that's a pretty big-ass story, but nary a Bitcoin-themed periodical has yet to touch it.
WHY!Here's the kicker...
Deposit will help enable production of innovative 28nm Monarch card.
At the time of the PR, the dollar amount that was in BFL's
1QAHVyRzkmD4j1pU5W89htZ3c6D6E7iWDs BWA equated to ~$50M, as in 50 million dollars.
That's getting
bitrolled to the nth degree, not to mention we're still getting
bitrolled due to the fact that this truism has yet to be reported on by any periodicals.
