Steamboat (Liquid Synergy Designs Inc.) is taking your money to build the infrastructure for his business.

If there are any unrecoverable costs, it falls on the corporation owner. Those are the sunk costs of running and operating a business. The costs do not fall on the customer who does not benefit from the product or service. It was agreed that he would have a working product within 72 hours of chip arrival which was an agreement he breached, therefore he cannot keep a single bitcoin/dollar. I kept telling you guys to be careful from the start, but no one would listen. This is clearly going into fraud territory. If you do not receive back 100% of what you paid, you are being scammed. 25% returned, while he invests the 75% into his business and you get no stake in his corporation is fraudulent.
