Given that China is cracking down on bitcoin exchanges and banks supporting them, it's possible that BitMain's capital is caught in the ruckus.  If that's the case, then they may not (currently) be able to pay their suppliers, which obviously would have an impact on BitMain's ability to produce more devices.  In this scenario, I can see them trying to evaluate their options before releasing a statement on the situation. 


Having said that, it would be a good PR move for them to make SOME kind of statement, at least acknowledging the requests for information from their customers...

I'm willing to let Reactor hold my payment until we get a better idea of where we stand as a customer... as long as it's not too long!
