Just my opinion here, and more for me to move on than for any of you to read..  I've been robbed so many times now that I am now a seasoned bullshyt detector.  I am fairly certain that this was an elaborate scam.  James, I am sorry, but I don't believe one word of what you have written the past 5 years.  You may be a genius con artist or a just an educated person who fumbled his way through this disaster.  My guess is that the miners were probably running the whole time.  I would be happy to take the broken/damaged equipment or whatever is left off your hands.  But I'm sure you have some excuse like you've "thrown them out" by now.  And whatever happened to the membership of SWMC?  That just disappeared.  So, I'm over it, don't bother replying and while I didn't lose alot of btc, I did gain an invaluable ability to avoid clever thieves like yourself.

I hope you're broke..
