Let's say I have a website. I sell product. Business is very, very good. So good, I suspend sales and paste on my website the following: I inform my salesperson/staff to NOT accept any more orders, thus no reason to be manning their sales emails on a Saturday evening
while probably in a bar. But, if they do reply to emails from those inquiring, the response should be along the lines:
This is basically the response you did receive. He's saying you can't have any until late February, but in a way that makes you want to discuss it further.
I guarantee you that if I happened to reply to James' response, he would have supplied me a bitcoin wallet address, but doing such now may be too late, assuming he, or others at HashFast, are reading the latest posts in this thread. What the hell! I'll go ahead and reply and see if James takes the bait.
How would taking your money be damning? That would just mean that they are still the same HashFast that they were yesterday, taking our money. They probably won't ship to you in late February either, changing nothing, and they probably would refund you in USD, even if BTC went up by 10x, which is not new either. A new low would be if they delivered to "you" before everyone else, but that's an expensive test and not really a lot of bang for your buck.
I'm not saying they are or are not treacherous, I'm just saying that this specific email exchange does not make them any more or less treacherous than they already are.
You guys ready to take this to a whole new level? Thought so. Enjoy the ride (no pun intended)!
