Anyone also notice that in the video, Simon Barber walk like he is physically handicapped.

He made a good impression on me. He looks like to be the most honest of them.

Yes, I met Simon at a Bitcoin Meetup back in May. He is a honest and stand up guy. Definitely more the techie type. He is not out to screw you over, he really wants to develop the best mining ASIC available. His association with HF was the leading factor for me to pre-order with them.

Someone with deep pockets needs make a example out of this company.

We need to do that ourselves. What's the problem in sharing some money for a lawyer? I'm ready to put 10k$ in myself (i'm sorry to keep repeating that).

This is actually not that easy.

After my refund request was rejected I have contacted 2 attorneys that cover consumer law (http://wblawpartners.com/ and http://ohellaw.com/), however both have given me a notice of nonengagement so far citing "lack of experience in the subject matter". Likely because of the Bitcoin aspect.

I might reach out to a few others in the future. Note that I'm not out to sue HF, merely to get a full refund in BTC as I am a day 1 customer covered by the original ToS. If I find an attorney that specializes in consumer litigation that is willing to take this case the most likely way forward is that they will draft a Letter of Demand. That would put the ball back in HashFast's court.

Because I only have one unit on order I'm not as motivated as some of you to see this all the way through. On the other hand I do think that we need to counterbalance the actions of HashFast as currently it is a one-sided affair where the customers consistently gets the short end of the stick. I've been through a couple of similar cases before, most notably BFL and Bitcoinica. Doing nothing will get you royally screwed, but legal action is not as easy as it sounds.

The best outcome would be that HF ships a.s.a.p (Dec 16) and takes steps to compensate customers for their own failures, for example by shipping the MPP units with the original order.
