Say what you will about Minersource, but it seems like they were at least trying to do the right thing in the winter/spring of 2014 when this giant clusterfuck started - namely, refunding people whose orders had been delayed due to BA's repeated lies.
Not even close. Minersource refused refunds to as many people as possible.
I suspect that was on order from BA - or at least a message from BA that they would not credit Minersource for the refunds they gave their customers. IIRC Minersource refunded a few orders initially, then stopped.
Yep, I think they did. Then IIRC they lawyered up and started the same shit BA was pulling in trying to deny refunds and jam product on people that had requested refunds.
Problem for them is, in the US you can't pull that shit. Very likely why they rolled up shop and took off, as the long arm of the law was likely coming for their ass PDQ. They are still liable, although I have no idea if anyone is still going after them or not.
There was that jamming of product on people, and the fiasco with the chips and boards that they tried to help organize.
It looked to me like Matt was at least trying to help, but got fucked by BA, who was refusing to honor refunds, and then Technobit, although I have no idea what happened there as I decided to stay out of that.
Then there was the accusation of them stealing a gazillion dollars worth of miners. Seems more likely to me that they were looking to go after BA for something and the criminal assholes at BA cooked that story up completely as some sort of payback or something, as that whole thing never made any sense to me.
The problem is, nothing this company has really done has made any sense to me...
Why not ship everyone a miner that they paid for? It seems like a lot of people haven't even received their miners, if your making them, why not at least ship them out?
The whole email list being stolen thing?
My apologies, I have been sick the last 2 days and my head is still very much so swimming. I am sure there are other examples, but it literally hurts to think right now. I am sure someone can fill in some more.
OH! The whole data center thing. Just remembered that one.
They get off on fucking people, that's more important to them than the money. Ask a prison shrink about sociopathic fags like Sovu and he'll tell you there's one in every cell. By screwing Bitcoiners they're also ingratiating themselves with the banks and credit corporations who have the authorities & politicians in their pockets.
If the read the document from the Romanian government it states that Sovu is part of a "network that deals with committing computer fraud through Internet" and being a homosexual and sociopath really allows him to make some powerful social connections.
