Makes me wonder as well, especially the pricing structure.

You can ask the seller for escrow or better wait till their scrypt miners are released on ground .

At least one member of the corporate staff has an interesting background though:

Christopher Tarnovsky.

Yeah, this is verified to be the same guy:

Not sure what this means though.

They have been reported by market watch:

Guess they are a real company.

They are indeed incorporated in California as a for-profit coporation.

Virtually all involved are foreign nationals, not residing in the USA but that may mean nothing.
