But lying about delivery dates sound like a "prepackaged scam"...How on earth do you promise November delivery when it was clear from the start that they couldn't meet it?

October delivery, please. With the raw wafers being received middle November.

I wrote all of that, but I had to read it again yesterday because I basically forgot the majority of it. Time does it. Doublespeak trollers does it.

No "prepackaged bankruptcy scam" would produce a chip like the GN1, which at well over 700GH/s is still by far the fastest BTC ASIC on the planet.

Step 1: Take some sha256 IP, put in millions (not of your money, off course) and make it a reality. Order way more wafers than you actually need, since that wasting money is cool and you need to dominate the market.

Step 2: Package the single die into a 4 die substrate. And don't you dare covering the bare dies with a metal plate or something to help dissipation. Make it the most useless chip ever, by basically putting a kW into a few cm^2. But yes, you can have your favourite trolling arguing that the GN1 is the best chip ever, since that best = fastest. Guess what idiot, I can make you a chip that is 10 times faster than the fastest chip on the market! You only need to dissipiate 10kW from a little more cm^2 this time! AMAZING!

Step 3: If over-storing wafers, over-spending with TSMC and all of that isn't enough, stop shipping orders, raise your payckecks and sleep over the every-minute-more-useless chips, since that you don't give a shit and your best to make them useless wasn't enough.

Step 4: Did I say sleep? Well, sleep. Wait, since that you don't give a shit. You are being paid after all.

Step 5: Oh shit, someone filed for an involuntary (?) bankruptcy, better try to do something to waste even more value. Those useless chips are still worth something after all!

Step 6: Negotiate an impossible deal with an impossible "company", take months to do it, because the chips are better if useless.

Step 7: Take a whole-month-vacation while your lawyers are arguing with the judge that you are not being paid enough money to keep your family afloat (to which the judge answered: "it doesn't compute!"). Hell, if it doesn't compute.

If this isn't a "prepackaged bankruptcy scam", if you really think that, well, I'm sorry, but I can't help you.
