They knew they won't going to ship. They waited to see how clever there consumers going to be, and when they found out. Well let's just say they found the cash from somewhere To fund the attorney.
WAKE UP! Their attorney is a Bitcoiner and has been in bed with them (L & F speaking) from day one.

Cedivad, I don't suppose you are willing to relinquish hashfast.org so we can loosen up the editorial control a little bit?
I want a site dedicated to Hashfast that is factual and "non-defamatory" too. But unlike you, I see lots of ability to post the kinds of things I am researching, and things that Phinnaeus is turning up.* These things are not defamatory or libelous in the United States, since they are demonstrable and documentable (and often unpleasant) public facts about the Hashfast people.
I don't want to take on the whole project, but I can contribute parts. There are a couple other possible domains I see...
* In Phinnaeus' case we'll have to tone down the homophobic bit and make sure it's just stuff we *know* and don't merely suspect, but there's some good material there. From what I can tell, Long Dong does indeed appear to have been involved in prostitution, and Scrotum's involvement in selling pretty abusive and distateful pron is absolutely irrefutable.

It's always interesting to see how hashfast promptly reacts to their customers action by digging a bigger hole for themselves.
Yep. The "circle the wagons" mentality.

Do it, i will donate for the hosting if needed ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I agree with my lawyer that there is no need to risk - so i won't risk.

We have enough content to talk about already. http://hashfast.org/List_of_LiesWhile I'm sure that Phinnaeus would like hashfa.gs (<-- joke, I'm not serious!), I'm thinking about another name. But first, are there any co-conspirators here who would participate in the management of the wiki? I'm willing to write some articles and edit submissions to avoid legal issues, but would be looking for help keeping the back end running and a least a couple other people that have articles in mind. Please respond by PM if interested.

To be clear, I'm not homophobic, but will tone down nonetheless. I may make fun of a myriad of demographics, but it's only for humor purposes and truly mean no harm. That said, I'm trying to bring to the table anything relative that might support claims against HashFast and their principles due to the way they've conducted themselves. WAKE UP!

Your amount of refund will be the same as the USD amount shown below and in your order confirmation. Our products were purchased based on the purchase price stated in USD. We accepted payment in Bitcoin and other currencies as a convenience to our customers. For the great majority of our Batch 1 customers, we never received Bitcoin, but instead received USD from our payment processor, BitPay, and used the money to pay our suppliers and costs. Most early customers received a preferable exchange rate that reduced our revenue by 8%-10%. We also have customers that have paid in Bitcoin when the exchange rate was far higher than it is today, so our approach to providing refunds in USD is not a policy designed only to benefit us.
Didn't they provide a bitcoin address for some customers to send direct bitcoin payments not using BitPay? cedivad (or others who will sue their asses) don't forget to tell that to a judge. I don't know how many paid using BitPay, but i'm sure that not all batch 1 customers did it.

My lawyer didn't forget to mention that in my letter. As i said before, not only they are blatantly lying another time with that email, but they are giving me even more bases to build my legal action against them (i didn't need them, but thanks anyway, hashfast).

I don't know how many paid using BitPay, but i'm sure that not all batch 1 customers did it. I paid with a direct BTC address, not bitpay. And, don't forget that one can set up their BitPay transactions to go to another wallet oppose to having the funds converted to fiat then deposited into their bank account. Why an entity may opt to pay the small BitPay fee to do such is because of the ease of the interface. Also, it makes the buyer feel more comfortable, i.e. in HashFast's case, if such is the case, of which I have reason to believe happened. In fact, one can turn on and off the option on a wimb depending on where they desire the funds to go, including changing the final bitcoin wallet address (not the receiving address set by BitPay of which is only good for 15 minutes).

I may make fun of a myriad of demographics, but it's only for humor purposes and truly mean no harm. @Phinnaeus Gage Nah, don't tone it down at all, I think it is perfectly fine the way it is now. The laughs you bring to this thread is a great consolation, reading through all the bad news.

And don't forget the reports about their technical capabilities. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1u2a3m/running_timeline_of_hashfasts_actions_lies_and/cee2gn7@fenwick, sure! I'm not sure i can do that, sorry. Reasoning: i already receive at least one letter per day with return receipt of people asking to remove content from my websites (you know Berlusconi? even from their lawyers! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ) - so i think to have an experience background about this. And given what is involved, i can't risk. Free to blame me to death, and i'm sorry.

So you are saying, writing something like "There is this other page with lots of other allegations, but I can't say whether or not they are true, and I don't endorse it in any way" could be considered unlawful, on "the land of the free and the home of the brave"? Or lawful, but somehow still risky? Not being a US citizen, this sounds ... strange to me.

If I request a refund, am I still eligible for the Miner Protection Program? No. The Miner Protection Program (MPP) is a benefit of Batch 1 orders. Therefore, you will not be eligible for the MPP benefits or any changes we make to the MPP.
The plot thickens.
