Hi all,

1st of all, AFRICA IS A CONTINENT. Try to at least speak like y'all got a western education.

These assholes took me for 7.4 BTC a couple of months ago. I assume most of you other victims got the email yesterday talking about refunds? I mailed info@asic-market.com and some guy answered back saying that Asic-Tech is 'blackmailing' him by forwarding their unsatisfied customers to them.

Now I don't know what the hell 'blackmailing' means, but it sure as hell sounds suspect to me. Has anyone managed to find more details on the owner of the site? Whois gives:

Phone number is dead or just a long ringer. Has anyone managed to pinpoint where their server is being accessed from? I think with the combined evidence of posts on bitcointalk about this company (and boy there a quite a number of threads on Asic-tech) we can take this guy down if he's found. If I can get an address, I can send somebody there to check it out. There have been nothing but naysayers and pessimists every-time I bring the subject up of tracking this motherfucker down but I think the more he scams the more tracks he's leaving behind.

No one ever said Africa wasn't a continent, actually my comments about Africa, which can be referred to as such, as it is a single continent with a single name, were about how big and vast it is and how there are so many differing areas of governance and also none at all, that it would be next to impossible to find him if he was in Africa, anywhere in Africa. Especially if all you knew was "Africa" as being the most information you have to go on. I know its off topic but your simple quick comments that you probably weren't thinking about were misguided, misinformed, and baseless. Unfortunately people who think along these lines usually do fall for scams rather easily, as they don't read the whole of the situation and make educated decisions. My advice would be read things in full before you comment or buy.
