Can someone please explain why a bitcoin refund takes DAYS to process...

Has anyone else encountered this? they emailed me this offer out of the blue, when i first asked for my refund i asked for bitcoin and they denied me as i only have 1 neptune preorder(mid apr)...now they voluntarily offer bitcoin refund instead of cash...something smells fishy to me...

i feel like they are just waiting a couple days so they can refund me at highest possible exchange rate.?

~thanks

Just an interesting little detail. The mail you received is signed by Anna Jagdhar who is "Customer Service Team Leader" at KnCMiner AB.

Previously, she worked as "Head of Fraud Department" at Govitall. There, she "planned and developed anti-fraud strategies and maintained fraud rate below 0.1%." When I read about them in several forums, it becomes obvious why she kept the fraud rate this low: They didn't want to have any competitors: "Fraudulent", "scummers", "spammers" and alike are amongst the more friendly terms I find regarding her former employer. Seems KnC wanted to hire someone with an expertise.

And as if this isn't enough: Remember Brock Pierce, KnC's representative in China? If you don't know who he is: Google his name in connection with the term "pedophile". Even before she worked for KnC, she obviously was connected to Brock Pierce or his companies. So it seems as if Pierce has brought some of his people into KnC.

Accusations in court documents against KnC-Pierce: "Pierce deprived Debonneville of millions of dollars Debonneville was owed under his agreements with IGE. Debonneville names an even dozen claims ranging from breach of fiduciary duty to fraud. Along the way he accuses Pierce of failing to pay taxes owed to the Spanish government, using corporate funds for personal expenses, falsely telling Debonneville that one of the other executives in IGE was blackmailing Pierce, and partnering with a third party, Jonathan Yantis, to exploit bugs in game software to make unauthorized duplicates of in-game items and currency to offer for sale via IGE. There's tons of material available on him and his buddies. And Anna seems to be one of them...

It may be a coincidence that KnC's scrypt-miner will be called "Titan", while one of his companies is called "Titan Gaming".
