As I've said before, and will say again, BFL is not operating in a scammy fashion. It would be far too unprofitable a scam to run things the way they have. They are however operating in a fashion that shows poor project and PR management. Heck, Avalon put precious little out in public information releases, including actual delivery dates, yet there are plenty of people who praise them yet rubbish BFL, which puts out plenty of information. The key difference is the information being put out is not what you want to see. You get angry because the news is bad, and blame like no tomorrow about it.
The information I want to see:
Who works at BFL? Most startups & companies tell you who is running it so you can check for yourself if they have the skill to succeed. With BFL we just get first names.
Who are BFL's investors? BFL claimed they have a Venture Capital firm backing them, but won't say from which VC firm. Highly unusual.
Who are BFL's suppliers? Companies usually (in tech especially) make their large suppliers & partnerships known. BFL has not said who did the chip design for them or who is making their chips for them.
BFL does not discuss that sort of thing.
If you have the answers to these questions, by all means share them or point them out if they have already been shared.
Until BFL starts acting like a real company, one always has to worry
"Will they be there tomorrow?"Sonny K. disappeared when Sonny Vleisides appeared onto the seen. I firmly believe something nefarious happened to him. The last person to make mention of him was Josh, but Josh has yet to explain what ever became of Sonny K. I wonder if he had a family.
I may have to call the KC PD to go check it out. Clearly, a Sonny K. was employed by BFL, probably even one of the owners, according to Josh's posts.
