just to quote what you said:

"(ASICMINER) have created thousands and thousands of pissed off customers that thought they were going to "print money" but got taken to the cleaners"

AM didn't tell them they were going to "print money", the customers didn't do their due diligence. Not AM's fault.

Presumably all these thousands and thousands of "pissed off" customers won't come back, and that will be the end of AM's hardware sales. Or perhaps they will sell out in days again?

I'm just struggling to understand why you are having a go at AM? They made no false promises with their products, did not guarantee or even suggest any returns, simply put a product out there that people couldn't get enough of. Nobody forced anyone to buy them. People want mining equipment now, not vaporware that may appear or may not appear.

If people can't use a ROI investment calculator then they shouldn't be in this business. Again, their responsibility, not AM's.

Ah yes, the old there's a sucker born every minute line. Fuck them, I'm out for me.

Who cares that ASICMiner sold the first USBs at 2BTC apiece, quickly making $1,000,000 from less hashing speed than a $30,000 1.5TH minirig? And that was from only 4,000 units. The customers were too dumb to know they were being fleeced, it's their fault for being stupid, not ours for deceiving and fleecing them!

It a sad day when greed makes people into assholes.
