Is fair and healthy skepticism a "strange" thing? I am the guy who merely observed that a number of odd facts seemed to surround Halong Mining and that the "company" was behaving in an extraordinarily unusual manner, based on widely accepted business norms. Principally, I wrote about: (1) the unverifiability and lack of Halong's incorporation documents, (2) the anonymity of its management and ownership, and the fact that its only known manager goes by a pseudonym, (3) the lack of a physical mailing address, phone number, or registered agent, (4) the mystery of its jurisdiction (country) of operation, (5) the inability for us to hold Halong Mining accountable in a class action lawsuit should Halong put out dangerous or defective hardware and refuse to honor its warranty, (6) the unverifiability of the DM T1's claimed FCC certification, etc., just to name a few of these legitimate concerns.

There are still many unusual circumstances about this company, but I've already made that case in previous posts and won't go into any more detail here for now, unless it becomes relevant again. I'm on record making many fair observations about Halong. This community has given Halong the opportunity to address those concerns, which it hasn't.... Halong's refusal to answer basic, fair questions about itself has undermined its credibility. It's a shame if the company truly wishes to be a legitimate player.

Now the conversation seems to have shifted from Will Halong Mining ever really ship the DragonMint? ... to ... Is the DragonMint's failure rate unacceptably high? .... I'll be curious to watch how Halong Mining behaves in honoring its warranty.
