Has anyone heard anything about this? I caught a snippet of this discussion -somewhere- but when I wanted to go back and read in more depth I couldn't find the article again.

The premise of the article was:

BFL chips = 20 days from the foundry. Delivery to chip buying customers=100 days. Float = 80 days.

Accusation: BFL is selling chips and using the 80 days worth of float as a way to have chip buyers finance their chip purchases. They are using the float and that free financing to obtain chips - at no cost to themselves - that they are building production units out of.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? Can anyone point me to the article/discussion concerning this? There was a lot more depth to the article than just this, but it seems to have disappeared.

You are referring to Kernel32's group buy.

Go to the Group Buy section and it will refresh your memory.
