Unfortunately it is a Feb minirig so no small claims.
Have you contacted the FTC and Kansas AG? The FTC will go to bat for you to get a refund.
I was waiting on hearing that the FTC or AG had done anything for anyone so far considering the numbers of pissed off customers. That avenue has turned up a big nada currently.
Have you heard anyone have any success with a refund from BFL that was not related to paypal or CC?
The regulators and law enforcement agencies have to make a conscious decision to pursue a matter of this type (which is why more complaints = more likely they will spend resources to investigate). Even if they know about it (which they clearly do at this point) they may decide (for any number of reasons) not to pursue it. With that said IF they do decide to "go after" BFL it will be methodical, slow and fact based. They will take there time and build a rock solid case (remember a win is all that matters to these folks and their careers, not the consumers best interest). Lastly there is a very real possibility that the AG may be diving much deeper than say UCC laws, FTC regulations. If they are investigating BFL and Sonny they may be looking for other violations. There as so many laws on the books that they may be looking at other avenues to pursue as well. IANAL and I don't have specifics in mind but it's not hard to believe they may be looking at mail fraud, wire fraud, false advertising tax evasion and the list goes on for a long time.
Just because law enforcement hasn't taken action yet doesn't mean they aren't and won't however you and I won't hear about it until well after BFL does! They will not tip their hand and they have all the time in the world so to speak.
How long did it take from Pirate disappearing until the SEC went balls deep recently?
