You may disregard relevant details, such as the capacity and authority of the respondent, all you like.
Fine, I'll quote Simon. He confirms the same about of BTC refunds:
Now since the only payment option is in BTC Will I get the same ammount of BTC back should you fail to deliver by December 31st?
Orders are taken in BTC, in the unlikely event we get to refunds they will be given in BTC.
Make all the noise you want, it will never change the fact that your expectation for a windfall No Matter WhatTM was unreasonable (based on common sense and common law), impossible (based on financial reality), and harmful (because it led people to lose their chance at 105% refunds by gambling on legally unsound wishful thinking).
Yes, I agree, HashFast was lying from the very beginning about BTC refunds in order to secure more pre-orders.
