Even those group buyers who have received refunds are still screwed by Yifu if they offered assembly services. And all the group buy customers who got a chip refund are still screwed if they purchased assembly services. Those that have received chips are also screwed as they won't make ROI.
Not to mention that time, labor, integrity, failed business models by GB's, and the ultimate let down by the total failure of this project has not only potentially ruined many GB organizers, but their project momentum, hopes, and reputations have been put on the line. Group Buyers are people and the energy they have invested, hours they have put in, and the farce this has turned into - it can ruin some one, if not put them into bankruptcy, by robbing them of their motivation and strong desire to see future projects succeed. Legality aside, this whole episode is highly unethical and immoral.
Sure people can say don't risk more than you can afford to lose, but Yifu did a pretty good job selling himself as an individual that would deliver the product with integrity, no BS, and wouldn't mine himself. GB organizers, as well as customers, trusted him based on his speech, and placed their faith in the words coming out of his mouth.
The shame is that this could have been something really great, and led to long lasting business relationships, and Yifu would have been a hero. Where and why did this all go so wrong?
China & Greed... 'SURPRISE'!!
