Received the refund check via Fedex today! =) We will cash it tonight. Thanks AMT!

hey what am i, chopped liver?!

seriously though, I think this episode should at least put to rest the notion that AMT are scammers of some kind. They received my certified check (which fyi is traceable through bank accounts, which is why real scams don't take anything other than BTC) and very promptly refunded grumpybearsgirl's order (by fed ex no less).

Reviewing the basic facts:

(1) AMT has delivered bitfury products

(2) AMT is the "official" A1 chip distributor in the U.S. Acknowledged online and in this forum.

(3) The A1 chip is real, works and is "out and available" in several places - certainly the official U.S. distributor AMT would have priority access to this.

(4) AMT is based on the U.S., with real offices here (meaning: subject to U.S. laws and courts - which is why I took a chance on them to begin with)

(5) While AMT has been pretty hush hush about its A1 product, certainly less than we would all like, there really cannot be any serious doubt that products are about to be delivered. If AMT not, AMT's promises of delivery any day now, and repeated assurances of shipment within (or in my case even a little before) the original promised shipment dates ... would be a pretty big outright lie to make ... and given the facts of (1) - (4), I just don't see AMT as outright liars.

That doesn't mean they will make their deadlines exactly, because optimism is really an infectious disease in this industry. But with chips in hand, software working, and ample time for AMT to do board design and assembly, it should mean they will be close.

So, can we all just quit the whining and treat AMT with respect, at least until they do something to deserve disrespect (other than not responding instantly to every silly allegation here).
