It certainly makes you lose faith in our legal system, the AG's office, the FTC, and the owners and moderators of these very forums that they continue to allow a business with such morally and ethically-reprehensible business tactics; allow polarizing, smug, and antagonistic figure heads to be allowed to profit in the way they do at our collective expense.

 The heat has been on Butterfly Labs for some time, and all their monetary contributions have bought them asbestos suits and immunity from sanction.
