Right now he has 68*900 = 61k Tied up which could buy a lot of hash rate imho.
If $61,000 is causing Ken to delay getting miners then this venture is over. Please think about what you just said:
Can't tell if FUD or seriously stupid. Ken has 1400 BTC ($1.4M) from the Avalon refund and you're worried that he's delayed the entire operation for a measly $68k? Nowhere did JoTheKlan imply anything to that effect either... that is all a figment of your imagination.
Please read.
Not all we can do!
So until this situation is resolved I do not think we will be ordering our hardware and will not be having an announcement about said hardware. Or maybe there is another reason he needs that BTC desperately. At this point I don't even think we're waiting on Ken and more so waiting on Ukyo.

When calling someone stupid, just make sure you're not the one being stupid. JoTheKhan is clearly implying that the operation is being held up due to the 61 bitcoins.
My post was to counter his argument and offer a reason to not hold up operations for the 61 bitcoin.
