I will bet there is not a big data center of Zeus macines.... this is a silly thing to say. Zeus was never sent to dogie, I believe they said they were going to do a blade or something and just never happened (please correct me if I'm wrong Dogie).
If they shipped them a picture would have ended up here or somewhere else. There simply just is not a Zeus out there. If you find the data center of them please take a picture for us.
That it is not completely true. Some examples I found on a simple Google search:

Can they be scams as well? They can, but as Alibaba acts as an escrow I see it pointless. Are they using mining chips from other companies? No doubt, they are probably simple OEMs, but actually I don't care as long as they sell a functional miner. Are out there many previous gen miners? Clearly not: maybe they manufactured few units, or sold them in bulk to few costumers, or simply they werent able to sell them due to high prices and they are using the stock for the cloud mining facility apparently they own.
Is everything a big and long term elaborated scam? It may be as you are the experts and me the poor scammed costumer. Or maybe not and I will recieve my orders. At this point we don't know: there are points that suggest they are legit, and points that suggest they have no real activity. At this point we can't discern it, so maybe is pointless keep discussing it. So by my side, I will just wait and update in this thread any news about my orders. But...
LOL, use your logic, the Zeus was a miner with 5 Hashfast boards in it, boards and chips from a company that went bankrupt over 6 months ago, a company that couldn't even supply its own customers let alone a third party. You think there are 1000's of Zeus miners sitting in a warehouse waiting to be sold by two unverified scam accounts on alibaba? LOL sorry but this is so "scraping the bottom of the barrel" that I can't even believe you tried it. Either you are just blindly trying to justify throwing away your money, or you are part of the problem.
