In case you hadn't heard, or wanted the news from someone with a more trusted history here. VMC/AMC is a complete scam. Ken Slaughter is a thief (as said so by his own family - who are supposedly employees - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=459861.msg5808232#msg5808232). He has taken thousands in BTC in the ~100 range, and never delivered a single product or service. He lied about using the funding to land a deal with eASIC, promising for months that the chips were next in line. Instead he recently slipped up and said they're still shopping vendors. He doesn't respond to emails, refund requests, or any other business communication, but deletes posts within minutes of them being posted. A complete piece of shit all around.

p.s. - Expect an influx of new accounts to bombard this thread and state what a wonderful gentle soul Ken Slaughter is. I will bump this thread everyday.

Ken,

Any thoughts on your own family calling you a scammer, thief, and criminal? Surely it can't be good for such a prolific venture like VMC/AMC.

Well guys, we are mining at 5th/s

It's a good start!
Several thousand BTC collected (and not spent on eASIC like previously stated) and a few months shy of a year, all for $10k of mining equipment.

Release the doves, let the paupers rejoice!

I'm trying to place an order with btc but still am getting nowhere.  i used the "call us online" link and never was connected to anyone, tried email and haven't received a response, and tried calling the 855-663-2482 number only to go to a voicemail box.  If anyone from the company is monitoring this I'd like to get an order in, so please respond to my email or voicemail.  thanks.

Quoting for visibility.

Ken, fix the contact info on the website and the cs@virtualminingcorp.com address. You have people wanting to give you money that can't, and pissed off pre-order customers.

I will be fixing that next week.

Make sure to get that order processed for finlof soon, not next week.

Due to our system using MtGox prestashop pluggin, we are not processing BTC at the moment.
LMAO. Complete technical ineptitude.

I have been scammed by Ken Slaughter of VMC - He promises action on the refunds this week. He;s been saying the same thing for 4 months.

Those being owed money should club together to hire an attorney to recover money ~$600 for a simple theft claim.

Here's a list of refund statements by Ken given to me on PM.

January 30, 2014, 02:25:51 AM
We have a back log in refunds and are processing those as fast as we can.  If you have requested a refund from customer support then it is being worked on.

February 05, 2014, 01:11:34 AM »
That should have been processed, please contact customer service and tell them it has been 7 weeks.

February 05, 2014, 11:04:02 PM »
We had a little problem in December with BTC processing, so all Bitcoin refunds have to be checked, so that may be the hold up.  I will look into why you refund has not be sent.

February 27, 2014, 07:13:29 PM »
Virtual Mining is currently processing and confirming pre-order refund requests.

March 10, 2014, 12:10:40 AM »
Refund to you ASAP.

March 11, 2014, 01:28:16 AM »
I have just hired a new customer service rep.

March 17, 2014, 03:57:11 PM »
Refunds will be processed in 2-4 weeks.

April 01, 2014, 07:29:34 PM »
Me:Ken, Given that refunds will never be processed, I'll take this deal to accept product from you instead of a refund.
Ken: I don't think so, we will just send you a refund.

April 07, 2014, 02:26:10 PM »
We will be issuing you a check soon.

VMC's own deadline has come and gone.

Time to get legal with these scammers while they are still 'in business'.

Apparently the 'refund account' was kept on Gox, thus all refund monies are gone. LOL @ these excuses.
