Hey guys, could someone please explain the history and current status of BFL, I want to get caught up on those events and I got here late. Could you also explain what it might be like if I ordered one of their products, they look so tempting!
Thanks so much I love you guys!

BFL's history is simple. They over promise and under deliver at every step. They constantly lie about shipping dates and specs while channeling resources into advertising to continuously generate funds for pre-ordered products that they also cannot deliver in a timely fashion. They're in blatant violation of FTC prompt delivery regulations and ignoring FCC regulations regarding emissions and their CEO is a convicted thief that should not be trusted with bus fare. Most of the whopping 35 5Gh units they've finally shipped after months of lies about shipping dates have been sent to media, devs, and early paypal customers that eBay has been(rightly) hassling BFL about failing to deliver.

Do not order from them, you'll be lucky to break even if you receive anything at all. If you still insist on ordering from them order their 5Gh model as it's the only one they've even demonstrated to have functional at all nearly a year after beginning to collect pre-order money for their SC line. Even this product bears little resemblance to the product originally pre-ordered in June of 2012. The price has nearly doubled and the power consumption has increased 5 fold.
