Nice find Phin! Up until this point, I was giving Tom the benefit of the doubt. It was very plausible that bASIC was just a failed business, and I accepted the risk that the project might fail when I preordered. Really, the only part that bothered me was that CC customers were given preferential treatment. If Tom had been extremely transparent about the project's finances, announced the project failed, and then paid back a good chunk of the preorder money, I wouldn't even be too mad. With the rising BTC price, it might have been possible to return a good chunk of money to customers even if a large amount of USD had been spent developing ASICs. However, if Tom really does have a history of scamming... I can't sympathize with him. Tom owes me ~$8600 (8x 72Gh/s, paid in BTC). I will contact a lawyer this week. what ever happen with this? did he give you a refund??? |

Berkey Drive Chittenango NY 13037 unclejohnsband unclejohnsband He went by the name "lohnlennon" on an auction site, Recently but he got banned from there. Also Has a Young Nephew That's Around On The Boards & Is Just About As Bad As His Uncle Is email names: tomvanriper@yahoo.com and unclejohnsband2k3@yahoo.com. He offers to trade you high grade Canadian buds for pain killers, you send him the pain killers & he never sends you the buds, & then he try's to blackmail you that if you do NOT send him more pain killers he will turn you in for mailing narcotic pain meds with out a prescription! " This should have being dug up BEFORE people brought FPGAs. |

What are you talking about? Last I heard, 100% of credit card orders were refunded a long time ago. |

Discover started the dispute process... and I was told they received communication back that didn't make sense.
Ugh oh! He's been drinking again! |

Lets see what happens today, i haven't received any BTC at the moment. But anyway, the scammer tag should have been given to him and be removed when and if all the refunds are finished  |

GOOD MORNING, BITCOINERS!  It's Friday! And we all know what happens on Friday, don't we boys and girls. That's right! We play the game "Who gets a refund, and who doesn't". If you recall, last week I didn't send out any refunds because I had to pay two big investors. But that won't be the case this week, for I've had all week to come up with another story. You'll goin' love this one. Stay tuned! I'll be back later today after me and my hungry family raid the refrigerator. During the interim, please don't read too much into my word choice--raid. |

Hold your horses there, bud! Can't you see the refrigerator light's still on 'cause the door's still open? The family's still eating. If we've learnt anything, Tom works best with a full belly and cold beer when at his desk. If it were NASCAR season, you'd then have reason for concern. |

Has it been proven that cablepair is holding the money? There are still many ppl waiting on a refund. And if you take into account his own post it seems fishy he posted https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137876.msg1562513#msg1562513 where he states he sold at 15 dollar price. and if you go back to his forum the one he took down right after i posted his post over here he stated refunds will be issued starting today https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140472.msg1562507#msg1562507 he would of only had to buy back in at the 16-18 dollar range. thats from his post not mine noone else so hes proving hes a scammer by holding on to the btc and issuseing when he feels like it. I belive if a man says somthing he is to be held to that and nothing less. |
