I'm just glad I got my two Monarchs and refund. The 2nd Monarch was delivered last week and I received the refund the same day the 2nd unit was shipped. Now I don't care if they fall off the face of the earth.

Good riddance!

Well I understand those monarchs are prone to failure so you may not be done being upset with BFL just yet.

And I'm certainly not going to earn back my original investment. But I'm still happy to wash my hands of that stench. I just hope the other ASIC manufacturers are paying attention. If there's any justice in the world, the Swedish equivalent of the FTC is making plans to raid KNC as I type this.

So far there hasn't been a single link to a government website containing a press release about any "raids".

Every "report" posted here and on reddit has been carefully crafted to sound plausible and informed.  It could very well be that this is nothing but a FUD campaign and that absolutely nothing actually happened.  (i.e. you've all been played)

Has anyone actually bothered going to BFL's offices in KC to check things out?

*sound of crickets*

Didn't think so.

At least three people are on record on this forum stating that they did indeed check it out, verifying the claim. Again, if it were not true, don't you think that Bruce or Josh would be here sticking it up our asses for spreading false rumors? They have not going on four days now since this past Friday, ergo a major event occurred at Camp BFL, and chickens are not being fed due their owner being in jail in an opposite ward where Sonny Vleisides is also currently being held. Josh is playing the Schultz card...


Posting under a screen name on a public message board is hardly "going on record".

Pics or it didn't happen.  Let's see some timestamped, geotagged selfies at BFL HQ.

The MSM and the FTC are saying it now. Acceptable enough for you mate or is it all still rumours as far as your concerned?

Id feel like a real dick about now if i had taken such a combative attitude on the issue.

Why was this moved to service discussions?

this is how I feel now about BFL going under



after the classic 2 hour shout box fight with josh last summer (my proudest moment) and getting banned ..I was so p/o'd that I
bought a KNC 550gh Jupiter (50 coin so far) and then BFL refunded me on my deluded 65mm upgrade to a monarchs in june ($8.5k)

SO as a result I basically cleaned up from you being such a bunch of as*w*pes....


he who laughs last and all that...schmucks ....

have a good time in prison ....

I never denied it, just questioned the report due to a lack of real corroboration.  I've witnessed enough of these dogpiles to know that you can't believe everything you read on the internet (or anywhere else for that matter).

As far as being a dick is concerned I'd feel more of a dick for joining the mob and finding out later it was all FUD.

You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

If it had been anybody but BFL I might agree with you but nobody deserves this more than those a-holes.  And Josh can't seem to refrain from telling lies and being a complete dick to everyone he deals with so in my book the entire bitcointalk forum can be totally excused for wanting this to be true and dog piling even before it was fully verified.  BFL earned this in spades.

Game over Josh.  Any intelligent person saw this coming a year and a half ago, but I didn't want any energy engaging you since you don't really engage in conversation, you just try to muddy the waters.  I just hope the feds can find all of BFL's and Josh's BTC they tried to hide away.

Maybe Inaba is just a new implementation of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA ? His keyword-oriented response generation is effective in emulating the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA_effect to generate voluminous discussion threads.

Well, aren't you still seeing what you can do? Maybe you should clarify the situation for the poor guys that are still in limbo?
