[Speculation and humor]

Date: July 24th, 2013

Rep: Tell me about the order we place "two weeks"® ago?
Chinese Supplier: Well, my records show nothing at two weeks ago...do you mean the shipment of parts you sent us on the 23rd of June?
Rep: Yes, that was it, two weeks® ago just like I mentioned.
Chinese Supplier: Well, it looks like we haven't yet finished tooling for your assembling line. It will be ready in two weeks, perhaps?
Rep: WTF, Two weeks®?! Is that really 14 days or 10 business days?
Chinese Supplier: Well, we don't know that yet.
Rep: <Starts sobbing.>
Rep: You don't understand, we have already delayed beyond what is considered a crime. We have the Unethical Patrol for Your Occasional Uncertainty Resolution Society calling our front desk! Ready to file against us. (U.P.-Y.O.U.R.S.)
Chinese Supplier: It may be up to 60 days, I am sorry, there is nothing more we can offer you.

Rep: <hangs up in disbelief.>

Rep on Forum: We are still waiting on your ordered Power Supplies. We know it has been a challenging "two weeks"® but it may be yet another "two weeks" before we have these in.

"Troll" on Forum: Hey! Hold up a damn minute. You said this "two weeks®" ago! Why don't you tell us the truth?!

Rep on Forum: STFUP, you shitty little troll. How dare you? If it weren't for our refund policy I would probably give you back your BTC.

"Troll" on Forum: WTF, Refund my ass! Thats exactly what I want!

Rep on Forum: FU, you'll get your shipment in "two weeks®" when everything is good and ready. <blocked and banned for good measure>

"Shill" on Forum: I would have done worse, great job Rep! You kept your cool in the face of all this BS. You guys are doing a spectacular job, Keep it up!

"Customer(s)" on Forum: WTH, he was right about everything!

"Slock" (hes special) on Forum: STFU you lowlifes, get a fucking clue!

"Shills" on Forum: What he said, you guys are just so fucking entitled. You think you get something when you pay for it....just stupid.

More like they are assembling 400 lies a day.

Master lie assembler Josh (and all the other of his forum sock puppets) are hard at work on this forum.

At least Josh only has to tell half the lies, with the other half coming from his equal, Jody Drake, as per her own admission.

I have to admit, this Sonny guy is good! He no longer has to post a damn thing, enabling to distance himself from the lies while he manages the books.

BFL once had 22 employees when they announced that more customer service personal were about to hired. Now, they're at 35 employees, with yesterday Josh crying about not having enough CS to handle the problems because there's only so many hours in the day.

Exactly what does a dozen CS personal do since they no longer have to deal with refund requests? We know it's no longer taking pre-orders, for that too has ceased.

We even learnt that the PSU line is currently shut down due to not being able to procure those parts. Remember, a shipment of 10,000 PSUs were shipped to Sonny's Walnut Street address. Surely, BFL didn't go through all those already, did they?

There have been some logistic problems with shipping. In the photo below, a shipment of Mini Rigs was delayed.



LOL!! Guess now we know why they are having issues with PSU supply line Tongue

BTW, when/where was this discovered?

Take all the CS people and have them handle supply chain issues, clearly they have no parts to build anything but Jalepenos and until that changes the Customer service demand will just grow and grow,

Soon they will have to fire all the CS people to fund the attorneys

For Sonny, it'll never be over, for just like his Daddy-O he'll jump from one scheme to another to another to another, ad infinitum, caring nada for the those lives he'll destroy whether strangers or friends.

Quote
1974 -- A Sun series rips the silver certificate scheme of James Ray Houston's Western Pacific Gold and Silver Exchange. It costs investors $3 million. Houston this year runs for governor on the Independent American Party ticket. He finishes a distant third to incumbent Mike O'Callaghan, who received 68 percent of the vote. Houston is convicted in 1983 of mail fraud (unconnected with the Western Pacific case). In 1987 he moves to Atlanta, where he enters the telemarketing business.

Quote
1980 -- James Ray Houston opens his Great Western Penny Exchange in Las Vegas, another stock scheme. Federal Judge Roger Foley, who must accept the jury's finding that Houston is innocent, calls Houston "a plain and simple crook" during a hearing in which the Securities and Exchange Commission requests that Houston be held in contempt of court.


In 1991, Houston is in Costa Rica with long lost son Sonny Boy putting together their lottery scheme. 1995, Sonny starts Webspawner, of which to this day directs traffic to lottery and sportsbook schemes landing pages. How the fuck this doesn't affect his probation is beyond me. Then again, maybe this probation officer is well aware of this fact and just waiting to spring the trap prior to Sonny Vleisides' probation to end on September 15, 2013. It's a shame that Jody Drake, equal in status to Josh Zerlan, will probably be charged with something as well. Perhaps they'll be lenient on a 63 year old woman.

Butterfly Labs shipped the Jalapeno 10 months after first orders. They're still backlogged 7 months. If you're thinking of buying a BFL Monarch, think again.

And this is exactly why for the past 30 days plus days I've been spreading the word about BFL on other forums, comment sections, etc., under a different pseudonym(s) because I don't want my innocent sockpuppet(s) to get sued.

I am surprised that Josh hasn't yet figured out who I am on BFL's forum. I'll give you a clue, Josh: Here's a quarter. That should help him narrow it down.

I went over to the Mexican restaurant and they had jalepenos, along with some cilantro and onions.

Ordered a burrito. It was good, but it still did not satisfy my craving for my hashing jalepenos.

Went home, and I had to go brush my teeth before the little woman would kiss me.

The good thing about BFL Jalepenos is that, in theory, they aren't supposed to give you bad breath.

But, I would not know about that, since I have not gotten mine yet.

But what laws could they have violated in local jurisdiction?  Eliminate all crimes against person (which corporations cannot engage in) from local jurisdiction, and you're pretty much left with traffic, substance abuse, and property code violations. 

Things like wire fraud are federal in scope; securities law violations are possibly state, but never local.
