BINGO, shop.bitmain.com is ALIBABA
traceroute -A on shop.bitmain.com gives AS45102 - Alibaba (China) Technology Co., Ltd., China
So there you go folks, whenever you pay, or order on BITMAIN.COM, alibaba is taking care of that ORDER.
Now go figure why ALL english accounts and non-chinese accounts get sent to the /dev/null pool??
Of what interest does bitmain.com have other than off-loading hardware, in pre-payment, of course alibaba is a resale place and loves to make 500% ROI on a quick deal.
What's left for the minion? NADA

Note they twitter show today the faux gl link at the top of the sale, leads directly to this site, a alibaba site.
Don't be prejudice ...
Alibaba and aliexpress are very good e-commerce site.
if bitmain sell through alibaba/aliexpress , i believe it will be smooth as they are comparable to amazon and ebay.
If I can suggest to Bitmain, maybe they should channel the order through amazon store , ... what do you think ?
