Can you elaborate a bit on the "long con" game reference?
It seems that BFL must have made a substantial investment
in producing a functiong ASiC and usable product.
From the very first days this startup started with a lie. They lied they have attracted VC!
I have never witnessed another "business" taking pre-orders ONE YEAR ahead, lying they have attracted venture capital, using customers money for R&D and treating their customers like investor to share the risk but without investor rights, refusing full bitcoin refunds, now they stopped all refunds, and lying all the time month after month that what they need is just two more weeks and everything will be okay! Have you?!
