If you think like that, I think it's impossible because china just banned bitcoin trading and not prohibits the sale of mining hardware, did you had taken legal steps because you send money through bank transfer, I think you have strong enough evidence to prove that they want trying to commit fraud as you allege but honestly I do not believe they do that.
You can find miners available in aliexpress and ebay china to buy the antminer series in these sites. When you exchange the bitcoin in fiat who limited amount via IMPS transfer you will never into any legal issues. Still bitmain delivery issue ongoing in the site. I noticed of the people created a thread about delivery issue for Bitmain direct purchases.
No, but if i'm not wrong Bitmain is headquartered in Beijing with offices in China even though any in abroad but in this case he purchase miner directly from bitmain sites. of course, he can complain. why i said he can take legal action because he pays by wire transfer.

Nothing is impossible when it comes to the scale of Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency scams/fails. Just look at the Mt.Gox or Bitfinex, they both top exchanges that disappointed everyone.
I am not saying that Bitmain is a scam, and considered their current strong position I wouldn't say so. In their defence, I say that bank transfers of all types can have delayed confirmation times.
Still, it is the best to reach their official help desk first then start a thread here where basically no one has access to their internal system and we can only speculate.
Yeah but bitmain had an office in china, of course they have permission to open a business. I think this is different from the mtgox case because the exchange site does not necessarily have a business license. sorry if I am wrong.
