I've never seen legitimate companies act the way these fools do.
that makes two of us. it's unreal how unprofessional these clowns are.
I like how we are all referring to these guys as AMT - like they are some legitimate business with numerous employees. EVERYTHING POINTS TO THIS AS A 2 MAN OPERATION. Just because they have some part time help or friends, the person financially accountable for this debacle is the founder of AMT (JOSHUA ZIPKIN). I like how he'd downplayed his role/involvement with AMT in this thread (look back).
They have some rented office space in Pensylvania. Big fucking deal. Anyone can rent out some office space in an attempt to prove they are legitimate. So what if AMT goes under? Well, no need to worry! They are incorporated and likely have limited liability!
AMT is composed of 2 people:
JOSHUA ZIPKIN(FOUNDER / THREAD POSTER)
http://www.crunchbase.com/person/joshua-zipkin
http://vk.com/joshzipkin
and
JIM BROWN(TECHNICAL SUPPORT PHONE/EMAIL BITCH)
From all the videos we've seen, it's been Joshua Zipkin representing AMT - including this thread, he has been posting here as AMT_MINERS.
I advise everyone to keep emails exchanged with these guys and even copy them to this thread so everyone can see.
These guys need to be held accountable for their actions (or inaction I should say). At the end of the day, Joshua can fly back to Bulgaria with everyone's money while we sit here in the U.S waiting for miners to arrive. Read the past posts in the thread started by Augusto Croppo, there is a lot of aspects of their business that is shady.
Thanks for digging into this for us Augusto - you are an asset to this community.
Note the e-mail address attached to the paypal account I sent payment to way back.....
Thank you for this information.

Hi XXXXX,
I am sending you the wire information for order No 1088. You will find it
in the attached file.
After your payment is confirmed we'll issue you a
paid invoice for your coin miner in full detail. Remember to put your
order number in the payment details section of the wire as well.
Also if you can manage, please send a scan of the wire receipt or email
verification of the wire just for organizational purposes and so that we
can give accounting a heads up that your payment is on its way.
Kind Regards,

Ok... will do that, one minute, I have to open an find out how to post an image
Hey every one!,
I'm new here. I wanted to pass some information that I found during my search in seeing if this company is a scam or not. I found their flicker stream. I then downloaded their photos and ran each image in exif tool i( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchangeable_image_file_format). They uploaded it with their cell phone. This gave us a GPS location where these photos were taken. I have also included a google map where this GPS data takes you.

I hope this helps anyone out in making the right choice here.
