Thats what security and cops are for. Your protection....death threats...etc.
Honestly you seem pretty ignorant to believe that threats are what held up Avalon's production for 5 to 6 months. Are you seriously that stupid? I don't mean to offend you but your argument is quite retarded and only on one of Yifu's many excuses.
Put yourself in the hypothetical situation where you have received a death threat, and consider this critically. What are your priorities? Do you REALLY think cops and security solve the problem? They can't be omnipresent, and even if they are, they can't un-bullet your face, just shoot at the guy who killed you. If presidents with huge security details can get assassinated, what do you figure the odds are for some American kid in China if the wrong person wants him dead?
And no, I don't think 5 or 6 months of production delays were due to this. That was a logistical failure on Avalon's part that Yifu ought to apologize for. But the month or so of chip delay, and the concurrent lack of communication, can plausibly be explained by customs issues and death threats. I am not waiting on a Batch 2 miner - if I was, I'd probably be more irritated.
I challenge anyone to provide proof that the threats did not exist, or that the customs issues are manufactured. I would be just as interested as the next guy to know about that, and it would provoke an angry and rather generous donation to the class action lawsuit legal fund.
