The following picture is from Satoshi's old email and was posted in the "satoshin@gmx.com is compromised" thread.

This quote is from Black Arrow (Alex Sovu).


...
Our Lancelot customers will continue to benefit of the initial prices until 5th of October. We have emailed all Lancelot customers with information on how to use the trade-in program.
...
Black Arrow Ltd will continue their customer reward scheme by offering the owners of the Lancelot mining devices from the previous line, the chance to upgrade to the Prospero line by returning their products in exchange for a further $300 discount [2].
...
[2] Lancelot machines credit can be used against up to 30% of the amount on pre-orders or against up to 50% of the amount on orders. This credit has no cash value.
...
As Black Arrow promised to all the customers who trusted and worked with us from the beginning, everyone who has purchased Black Arrow’s Lancelot mining devices and wishes to exchange them against Black Arrow Prospero miners will receive $300 credit for each Lancelot exchanged (2).
...
(2) Lancelot machines credit can be used against up to 30% of the amount on pre-orders or against up to 50% of the amount on orders. This credit has no cash value.

It appears that Black Arrow has scammed Satoshi himself.

It's also a bit odd that right after Theymos posted this thread of deleted BA customer posts he got an e-mail from satoshin@gmx.com stating "Michael, send me some coins before I hitman you.". The screen shot above of a receipt from a BA miner was also posted online from satoshin@gmx.com at the same time.

But something's not quite right here, appearances can be deceiving.

I believe this is the name and address under the blacked out area.

Is the screen-shot a hoax or a real email from the inbox? Really WTF is going on here?
