Philip, the initial buy in was something like 1.55 BTC, not .6 BTC...
While I agree that $200 is not THAT MUCH, when HashFast started this out, they were leaning toward full BTC refunds, one person even has an email where HashFast got back to him (after a short delay, to go up the chain) saying that refunds paid in BTC would be in full...

Hi Jim,
Thank you so much for your patience while I got the answer for you, I greatly appreciate it.
The answer is if you buy Baby Jet for 51 BitCoins today and it does not ship, you will be refunded the 51 BitCoins you paid.
I hope that helps and hope you have a good weekend!
Thanks,
Cara
Plus stuff like this...
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=262052.msg4213062#msg4213062Plus you had cypherdoc mention that (at least HE thought,) they were holding all the BTC until the end of the year in the event that they did not deliver:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=270363.msg2894478#msg2894478they want only those committed to leaving their BTC with HashFast until the end of the year. if they fail to deliver, they have said they will give full refunds in BTC.
again, anything i say here needs to be confirmed by the officials of the company.
I'm not saying there is all that much basis for a legal battle, but..."wtf" kind of comes up in the head.
