Its not even funny really. Alpha are once again taking a dump from a great height all over their customers. If they weren't finished before they are now. Look at the differences from the initial offer to the one on the table now.

First  we are proposing to give up a 30% stake in the company to our entire batch 1 customer base

Now:  You are eligible to join the Scheme if:

         you purchased one or more Vipers on or before 31 August 2014 (a Qualifying Order);

         you have paid all payments due to Alpha in respect of your Qualifying Order(s) on time as they fell fall due (in accordance with Alpha’s terms of order).

Then: Our proposition is that you will receive the miner as well as a shareholding in the company

Now: As a member of the Scheme, you will be entitled to a loyalty reward payment each time that Alpha declares a dividend

Then: What this shareholding effectively does, is make our customers an integral part of Alpha Technology by being partial owners of the company.

Now: Nothing in this loyalty bonus scheme gives you any entitlement to a shareholding or any other interest of any nature whatsoever in Alpha.

Then: We will in fact be having a vote on our forum very soon in regards to this issue

Now: Joining the Scheme is entirely optional....... If you are eligible to join the Scheme and would like to join, you should complete a membership form

Then: all of our batch 1 customers WILL get ROI one way or another as long as we are in business as you will have full right over issues of dividends forever

Now: The Scheme expires in 2020


BTW they just removed a post that pasted the "Loyalty Scheme offer" on their forum. That pretty much sums Alpha up. Truly a bunch of childish crooks.
