While it was somewhat foreseeable, I held the unreasonable hope that things would turn around, because financials were always unclear.
With the amount of money AM made (they paid out 240k BTC!!!), how can they be broke? It seems as if they paid out too much, or money was misappropriated in the last year. Also, the chips had good test results, so I don't see how they weren't ordered _3 months ago_. Before all this unfolded. Should have been first order of business.
As bitter as I might be about the lost BTC, I made a few 10k in fiat, and 10x in BTC, so it's hard to be too pissed off about it.
