Could you show me where in this thread I said that BFL getting a bunch of refund requests would be good for BFL?
Sure can.
You said it here:
Again, following the idea of this hypothetical if all orders were refunded, new customers would be lining up to give BFL money as they already have been - with the added bonus of no more people in front of them any more.
and here:
This entire post is based on a hypothetical. An absurd one at that, which would have the exact opposite effect of what it foolishly intended.
and here:
My argument is also leveraging the past history where BFL refunds aren't given out instantly, but over the course of a few days. '
So, more simply, if $5 million (or whatever number you want to put here) goes out on the 14th, the current demand in the market for ASICs would easily dictate 5 million+ being right back on BFL's books before the 21st when all of those refunds were sent.
I guess now that the refunds are actually beginning to show up, you guys have start working to get that "$5 million right back on BFL's books".
I am glad you are not dodging this conversation like you were the earlier one.
PSA:
If you have ordered from BFL and have not yet received your product, you are entitled to a refund whenever you request one (per FTC rules).
First ask BFL for one, they will probably say no but you might get lucky.
If you ordered via PayPal you can file a complaint with PayPal even if you are outside the 45 day window. One customer has already gotten a refund from PayPal that was outside the 45 days.
If you ordered via BTC or Bank wire, you can fill out a complaint with the FTC and they will advocate for you with BFL to get your refund.
