Delays are normal in this kind of technology in days, weeks or month. We cant get rid of unexpected errors, the sense that they are really working for the project and always active in answering in social medias, it is already enough. What more important is they can deliver it despite of any circumstances.
Delays might be "normal" in some projects but for project managers and owners to
BLATANTLY lie that they have deals in place with banks just to keep up the scam is more criminal than a lie or "normal"
People such as you defending just one point of view is also a very shameful thing to do. What evidence do you have they are working very hard? Why are you defending them?
