So it sounds like the partial refund that came out in emails is still in process, here's the email response I got from Bitmain CS :

"Good day!
the refund application has already been delivered, and it is processing now. please wait, for it has to go through a series of procedures and be dealt with by different departments.

feel free to get back to me if u have additional queries,thanks!

Best regards

I'll take it with a grain of salt , but if first batch B3 buyers are to get a partial refund they initially said a few months, and then 30-60 days , it's been about 30 days so I'll keep an eye out for updates...
