1) Highly experienced in their industry in general is what I would take that to mean. I would assume they mean that they have engineers onboard who have designed ASICs for other projects before. Obviously, they hadn't designed an ASIC for Bitcoin mining before. No one had. 2) They've probably developed ASICs before, which are most certainly microprocessors. 3) You have no proof of them lying about this. 4) Ok, I agree, a lie, or at the very least, a half-truth. They should have clarified this by stating "procuring and installing high-speed equipment". However, I still put this statement in a much different pool than I would put them in if they said the same thing and they weren't actually buying any equipment to install. 5) You have no proof of them lying about this.
See how you have to bend over backwards to believe their claims. They're the one making claims that no one can verify. And no, I wouldn't believe you, because you haven't given me good reason to believe you. However, if you began to post verifiable indicators of your vast store of wealth, such as photos of you driving your Ferrari and pictures of your Bitcoin miners inside your mansion, I might believe you.
How did you know I just bought a Ferrari? I'm installing it in my garage right now. https://i.imgur.com/dIlxd.jpgcreativex has another opportunity for me, so things are looking very bright for my retirement.

They have chosen not to allow some of their claims to be verified. That is NOT the same as lying. Again, I believe them because they have given me no reason not to believe them. If they had a history of lying, then I wouldn't believe them. Thus far, they have had a history of bad estimates and poor wording, but no broken promises or outright lies. Because of their history, I expect their estimates to be off and I request clarification on anything important that isn't cut-and-dry, but I don't expect them to lie. When you post a picture of you driving it (as well as some image verifying that the driver is actually you, perhaps by holding up a sign of your bitcointalk username), then I might start believing you.

How many times do they need to break a promise before it is considered to be lying? Hundreds of customers over many months were promised products "in 6-8 weeks", and none of them got it when promised. They have a clear history of distorting and stretching the truth. To me that indicates a strong likelyhood that anything not verifiable is likely a lie from them. Shipping of new units is still anticipated to being late November or early December.
Think they still might make that "late November" date? Since they don't specify the year, I guess they mean 2013 so they're not lying, right?

When is the Jalapeno getting FCC approval?
Maybe two weeks? We are waiting for the test lab to issue the test report. It has now been more than a month. Who is the test lab? What was the result?

What was the result? <Face Palm>, I didn't realize this until just now. But in the response, the statement of two weeks is actually posed as a question rather than a statement.... Lets hope for the best. Visit the following thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=128840.msg1381541#msg1381541

BFL reps are still peddling the prospect of late December shipping to customers, that's just flat out lying given what we know about the state of their assembly process.

Well,I understand how hard it is to make something noone else has ever made before. So,I'm not giving up on BFL......or anyone else for that matter,bASIC,Avalon,etc.... These devices will come when they come

Anyone one that gouges senior citizens out of 22 Million USD then has the balls to say they made a bad investment after serving his sentence is obviously trustworthy. And if your not going to trust a company chaired by a ex con who only stepped aside as CEO when his past was revealed then why not trust the man child Inaba, he is just waiting to type up an agnsty 3.5 pages of teeth gnashing & insults. BFL lost the good will required for the benefit of the doubt a long time ago, see asshat inaba's post history for justification. You are dealing with a convicted felon, an immature ego maniac and a company that has record for dishonestly only matched by Pirate's Ponzi.

another gem from inaba Hypocrisy comes with pathological behavior, Mesarah. It's often the only way a pathological liar can reconcile their behavior and/or words in the face of incontrovertible evidence to the contrary.
