All,
I have been monitoring this thread and also replying to personal messages as I have no way of getting in touch with people due to the website being closed down.
Yes that 4.78 BTC transaction was for a pre-order of a miner from gokou2001 and I have been in touch with gokou2001 to arrange his refund.
After going through all BTC that were received for this project, I now feel confident that with this refund that I am looking to issue now, all refunds will have been issued to everyone who placed a pre-order with me.
I shall update the forum with a TXID once the refund has been issued as I have done previously after issuing the last refunds.
I am also looking to part ways from this forum and bitcoin altogether after I have done so.
Michael
EDIT - The full refund to gokou2001 (which is the last of all refunds to be made) has been sent.
The Transaction is here ..

No one comes up with an idea to make a 5TH/s miner with a 20nm foundry hiding in their back yard and expects only BTC payments, and then posts a fake name and images of some unknown female person as information about who they are, unless they are trying to deceive people.
I do hope that you (and whichever forum members are acting with you) do go to jail.
What you have done does carry a possible jail term if you are caught and convicted.
Giving the money back does not absolve you of that.
Oddly enough, a court will commonly require you to pay it back as well as giving you jail time ...
