BFL is liking waiting for all the dates to expire by which users can return items, so they can take the money and run.

Because waiting for return policies to expire makes taking the money and running any more legitimate?  If they were going to run, they would have done so long ago.

Still enough braindeads here who still buy into their "queue". With every day they do not run off they make more money...

Well at least we now know that the fab isn't in China, so no Chinese New Year delays.

But we do know that it's in Asia and other Asian countries have their own Lunar Year holidays which need to be taken into account.  Plus a lot of people don't think of Taiwan as being "China" but it's very much affected by Chinese New Year traditions.

All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

Just curious how the months of November and December add up to 4?  By my count, that is two.  Even if you include all of January, which is unlikley, that's 3.  So where does 4 come from?  Last I checked, 1 + 1 = 2 and 1+1+1 = 3.



Hey dumbass if you read the guy's post he was posting in August and said it was 2 MORE MONTHS UNTIL YOU ASSHOLES WOULD SHIP YOUR FAIRY TAIL BULLSHIT UNITS.

So now it going on 4 months after his post in August.

Comprende?  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy LOL!!!

HERE IS THE QUOTE JUST FOR YOU SO YOU CAN KEEP UP OK? ROFL!:

If they had never, ever delivered a functioning product in the past I'd be far more suspicious.  But they have.


I Agree Also, that's the only reason why i have faith still in the company

Please do explain how they make more money every day they don't run off?  They're giving out refunds, while I haven't heard mention of a new sale in days, maybe a couple of weeks.  To me, it seems they are losing money each day they don't run off.

In my personal opinion there is something very stinky about BFL:

  • No certain delivery dates.
  • No pictures or schemes or anything.
  • Very limited information (actually there is no information on the ASICs).
  • No one answers their phone.
  • They answer your e-mail within 2-3 weeks.
  • All their answers are with a maybe or possibly.
  • I never got it why are BITCOIN payments preferred.
  • The broke the law of e-bay - 2 months to appeal and ask for a refund with their 2 to 4 to 6 months delivery - maybe.
  • They are a business registered in Massachusetts on the name of some Mexican woman.
  • They are playing with millions yet their website is made with WordPress.
  • Up to today no one has either seen, touched or heard their ASICs. (even remotely)

So what is your opinion, I personally believe that they are developing something but they are quite away from delivering it or with the given characteristics.
Some of my friends think that all of it might be a lie.

EDIT:
So after 3 months this is what BLF has to say:

It is understandable why no specific dates will be given on anything at this point-  they have been burned pretty bad by over-promising.

I think people should understand when having millions of dollars and at such sudden rate company's would and will do anything to keep it until providing the actual product. they didn't have maybe have the interest of the people when telling everyone the shipping dates but dont get me wrong they are trying to keep a hold of the amount they have without people asking for refunds so its kinda understandable.

I think that them having millions of customer funds they should deliver when they promised. Making more excuses and being vague only shows how unprofessional they are. They should have estimated better on timing before putting out their TARD order form back in June for pre-orders that "will be" delivered in October of this year.

Bullshit.

Bullshit.
It is obvious that they are total amateurs, with the funny excuses they give us, just like my teenage daughter - "daddy it wasn't my fault, she made me do it" Cheesy
But maybe they are geniuses, making us think that they are amateurs, while being professionals at scamming people.

I'm convinced they dumped most of that money into btc investments and are cashing out slowly and refunding people while making filthy amounts of money on the BTC growth over the last months. They will end up sending out a soso product after the first company or two beats them to the punch then will claim they still sent out what they promised performance wise which at this point I wouldn't trust.

When did they start planning their ASIC production? 3 months seems like a short time for ASIC production from scratch.
