Oh man, don't tell me you paid 18k without even seen the hardware working with your OWN EYES!

My bank account manager told me that its not possible to revert back a wire, only with receiver's consent.
You can revert if you make financial security agreement between two companies, its just like escrow and the escrow is the bank. But without that agreement you cant do nothing.
;-) Exactly and we have a signed contract from YM/PYC as well.
This make no sense!
If it is a scam, you have a worthless piece of paper!
Why do you think they will honor the contract in that case?
Do you know the past from Mr Studier?
Call him and ask him if he was ever in jail!
Ask him if he was involved in the Jansen kidnapping.
Than think again why you should trust that small company without any proof or experience in chip design, claiming to do a better miner that the major players.
They could sell it like sliced bread, but they refuse to show any proof and sell with very high discount.
Why do they not try to maximize their profits?
I ask you again:
Would you do a bet with me?
