Ars Technica article on Butterfly Labs

Or... maybe there's just nothing to find and BFL isn't some sinister black box that some people so desperately and pathetically want it to be?  Ever consider that option? 

Some people so desperately want to find wrongdoing and maleficence somewhere, even where none exists, that they will believe anything. Any sort of rationality and intelligent thought was lost long ago.

The fact that super scammer, anti-semetic, racist like Bryan Micon is the best and most quoted person in the article should be indicative that there's not really anything sinister going on that isn't part of some mentally unbalanced persons tin foil hat conspiracy theory.

You'd be more convincing if you weren't so emotional in your responses.

And I believe that Bryan Micon is Jewish ..  So it'd be weird of he was anti-Semitic wouldn't it?  You did come off like a jackass in his video, and you knew you were being video recorded.  Less emotion, more reassurance from you and your brand would probably do you wonders.

So why all the secrecy? Why not just answer some of the easy questions in the article?

Ghosieri also told Ars in a Skype interview that there are “under 10 owners,” but “I can’t really say what exact roles there are." And he could not or would not describe precisely what Chris and Sonny actually do for the company.

Who are the owners of BFL?

People who have something to hide.

What do Chris and Sonny actually do?

BFL can't even ship power supplies with their products. So I am guessing they do very little besides own bank accounts.

Who owns the Bitcoin Development Fund?

BFL. They weaseled out of the last bet by pretending to ship to LukeJr. Luke got a free 25GH/s out of it. They weaseled out of this one by donating to themselves.
Moral of the story, don't trust BFL when it comes to money.

What is its official status?

It is probably "donating" power supplies to worthy ASIC mining firms.

When are you going to donate 1000 BTC to actual charities?

Good question.

Maybe do some dumpster diving, look for records? But yeah isnt this the same blog that posted about some  asic device a while back that ran on liquid nitrogen or some crap that was really a scam (no not bfl, lol i know what you guys are thinking)?

Cryonics, that was truly awful, zero research or any kind of reporting, the 'journalist' interviews the 'CEO' and lapped it all up!
