I am making this post to put the most up to date and relevant information to the general public as possible. Everyone share this as you like I believe it is the most substantial information on Halong that there is anywhere right now.
I contacted Halong to place an order of 1000-10,000 units. In response to my original message I was contacted by a "Richard Hogan". After asking about secured methods of payment and assurances for such a large order I received "only BTC or Wire" for payment and not much else.
Next, I asked to fly any day of the week to meet with Halong and see their factory and unit in action. At this point he responded and cc'd MyRig and a guy named Yoshi; who, after doing some research I found was previously "bitmainwarranty" who has done work with philipma1957. I found all of this from thread posts and also saw that Yoshi hasn't been active since June of 2017. This was about 3 days before they made the announcement that MyRig would be their distributer.
I then asked when they would be available for a factory tour, wanting a future date since they "aren't set up to accept visitors right now" to which I received the same response but was asked if I wanted to go meet in Miami on the 20th for "demonstration day" of their machine. What is interesting is that at this point they cc'd Myrig <
office@myrig.co.jp>
Scott Offord <
sales@halongmining.com>,
Halong Corp <
corporate@halongmining.com>
..... as you can see Scott Offord is clearly working with Halong and he is using the email "
sales@halongmining.com"
So at this point I resubmitted that I wanted an estimate for a
date in the future for clarification.
They then replied that they will
never have factory tours.I believe this scared them into a corner as they saw that I am adamant and that I want to see their "factory" and "company" in real life and they suggested that I not go to the demonstration day and that I wait for a may order cycle. Presumable to get me off this chain of questioning since in all likelihood they cannot prove anything.
I would love to be wrong but there seems to be way to many red flags right now.
After I then said that I still want to go to the "demonstration day" they said that all of a sudden within 24 hours all their meeting times were booked; but, that they that might be able to squeeze little ole million dollar order me in to see a demonstration of the unit.
It seems that the whole company is 3 people: This Richard Hogan who is the name they gave themselves in china, Scott who has the only rig in existence in america, and then MyRig who threw together a site and is acting as their "distributor" and repair company for warranty work. Also, it seems that Scott is just going to ferry the one existing unit in the world to Miami to show these people at "demonstration day".
Right now I have a "meeting" on the 19th in Miami, to see the unit and a address to go to. Lets see how far this goes.
Currently I am waiting to see if they follow through with their invitation to go to Miami, I have a feeling that they will not provide any information as I seem to have gotten as far as I can.
HOWEVER, if they do provide proof and I go to Miami I will follow up. After all I am ready to place a multi million dollar order; however, only if there is substantial proof that the product is real and that my company will receive our orders. If the product is real I will place the order and keep you all updated on their reliability and output if the orders truly exist and come in.
If anyone would like copies of the email chains you are more than welcome to message me.
