To sit here and complain its the Moderators fault is just stupid. The fault lies in the people that have given their money to this company and they deserve to feel the pain of bad judgement. As I am recalling that is what capitalism is all about.
Prosperity is in general the result of the working of free markets. The one caveat to this observation is that market participants have to be responsible. It doesn't matter so much if they are intelligent or not, it doesn't really matter if they're good christians or devout muslims or anything else, but they do have to be responsible.
When some people behave irresponsibly the result is that they lose their money, which flows, albeit indirectly and circumvolutedly but nevertheless unerringly, to more responsible participants.
When a small majority* of participants behave irresponsibly however the net result is not just pain to their own fortunes, but pain spread across the board. All of a sudden you have to be very intelligent, and very experienced, and very well informed to manage to keep your money safe, and often enough even that's not going to suffice.
Learn it already.
Yeah, karma doesn't bring your money back when you send someone $20k.
I want to ask everyone here a few questions. I don't really need anyone to reply as it will attract people that will say negative responses.
When you placed your orders for minirigs or singles(like me) did you get any gut feeling when things were going wrong? I had a KNOT in my gut for 30 days after the 1st month. It became worse when I found out about Sonny and it grew in intensity after every delay from BFL.
Did anyone else feel that? I sure did.
Did anyone feel like they were being attacked by BFL parrots spouting "just request a refund so I can be move further ahead of the que" and how you had to have faith in BFL as they are not a scam as they have delivered before?
Anyone?
I always trust that feeling. This is why I believe people deserve the punishment in the form of lost funds. I know its harsh but this is not suppose to be a lottery. You purchased a product and it was to be delivered to you. So faith has nothing to do with it.
