"Lying?" How was Simon supposed to know on August 9, 2013 that BTC was about to set new records by rising 500-1200%? No reasonable person would expect HF to be culpable for such an outcome, much less actually believe a tiny new start-up could meet impossible obligations.
Are you that stupid? In 2013 bitcoin went from $13 in January to $260 in April. That is 3 months for a huge increase. Hoping/believing that BTC will stay at ~$100 forever is purely retarded. Actually I think that even a retard would think that it is possible for the price to explode in the future after such a big increase. Except for Simon and HF crew who found it reasonable to stay at the same price forever. Go away with this idiotic posts please.
Lying requires intent. There is no way Simon intended to lie, because on August 9, 2013 he did not know BTC would suddenly explode in value, making full BTC refunds impossible. Are you saying Simon is psychic, or controls the price of BTC? Do you know how crazy that sounds?
How about the lie that they will deliver miners in November while they received chips in November? That is pure intent lie in the face!
