... might as well put some of that refund money to good use ...
That is absolutely disgusting. We all know what BFL are doing, just need hard core evidence. But in reality, we know what they are doing, they know it and they know they can get away with it atm. Just matter of time before the cookie crumbles in the glass of milk.
2. "Shouldn't be judged by one action". Well BFL has approximately 20k+ preorders and that is being quite conservative. Should I assume that taking PREORDERS for 11+ months by many thousands of customers as ONE ACTION? Come on that shouldn't even be used in the same page of text when writing about BFL. ONE ACTION? Hardly...
I don't care about preorders.
If they were denying refunds as well, or making zero progress (they have made some) that would be a different story, but they aren't. People are more than capable of getting their money back any time they please. And yes I know it's dollar denominated, every business does that, even outside the "bitcoin world". Kinda seems hypocritical to ask for a scammer tag, while at the same time willingly allowing them to hold onto your money (yes I know you don't have an order with them, I mean in general).
Here above in bold, "no offense Xian01" has any real legitimate member like yourself, or mod or really trustworthy member have gone through a refund process, of a major order? This is just a conspiracy theory, but BFL could be behind these accounts stating they are receiving refunds, to make it look like they will/are refunding customers. Imho, scams can go pretty deep, as we seen with pirate40, and others on this forum.
