Given that bobsag3 did not keep on top of this despite repeated requests for tapeout info in early Jan from myself and others, I would agree with above comment.  This disaster could've been averted.  To then continuing selling batch 2 without tapeout confirm was just plain wrong.

BA has not levelled with us right from the start.  By early Jan, they would've already known the delivery target of Feb 24 was unachievable.  I no longer have trust in BA or bobsag3 in the way they have conducted themselves.  Very piss poor.
