Re: And some more delays in BFL shipment plans / no shipment before 14th Jan 2013

Chinese New Year is not going to be a problem for a variety of reasons, so don't worry about that.

Translation: Chinese New Year won't introduce any unforseen delays, because we don't intend to release anything ever. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

I will be heading east at some point to babysit the process, as soon as I have dates for that, I'll let everyone know.

Translation: I'll soon be smoking cigars and drinking champagne from the navels of exotic beauties in Havana, Cuba, suckers. I'll be posting pictures of lighting my cigars with your dollars.

Doubtful. If it was a scam, they would have left a long while back. They are getting more refunds than orders at this point, so if it was a scam, by continuing to sit on it, they'd be losing money. What would be the sense in that?

...umm capturing a market they couldn't have captured honsestly? By repeatedly lying about shipping dates they've increased their share of the ASIC market dramatically while locking in pre-orders to them that would otherwise have gone to competitors.

They didn't lie, they had unexpected setbacks. There's a difference.

But what I mean by my statement is that they aren't leaving to Cuba, or anywhere else for that matter. If they were planning to leave with customers' money, they would have done so long ago. Right now, they are issuing refunds, probably in greater quantity than any additional sales they are making at this point. Which means it wouldn't make sense to stick around, since they would be losing money.
