That's nonsense. Every cloud mining service, regardless of them actually operating hardware or not, they all mess around with people, and that basically legally due to their terms. As soon as you sign up and proceed with payment, there is nothing that you can do anymore, because from that point you operate at the mercy of that specific service. Mining in general is just a wasted and unprofitable market to jump in. The only advantage of buying your own GPU's is that you have some resale value at the end of the ride, and that's basically it. The average person should just accept that mining isn't a viable option to go for, especially not with how the difficulties keep climbing up. It's just not worth the hassle for people strictly interested in profits....
