You keep quoting a 'retracted' statement and the owner of that statement is yet to reply to a few people to explain fully if his statement is legit, if it was deleted/moderated, he can come and let everyone know what happened and expose it all for everyone to see, it's really easy to do, but still nothing...

Take a walz over to the bitmine thread and you'll notice what a complete mess they are in, scam accusations, locked thread and all and it seems as though Giorgio is quite comfortable with deleting statements, even on their website. By what is going on there I don't believe anything that has been said so far and I doubt they secured anything in the rush to amass money... it's starting to look more and more like a BFL every day.
