Everyone knew bitcoins could skyrocket or crash. It's what bitcoins have always done. So they should have saved some bitcoins around, then there would be no additional liability. Since they never planned for BTC refunds, their offer was a empty promise meant to deceive customers into buying.
You are wrong about so much. Nobody can predict the price of BTC.
HF had did save some coins but had to sell them to pay for refunds and other expenses.
The only "empty promise" was the illusion you created for yourself, in which you risk nothing and HF magically conjures unlimited numbers of BTC to compensate for an unprecedented price spike.
HF was willing to provide refunds in BTC, but that was disallowed by the legal scrutiny brought on by windfall-seeking fuckwits such as yourself and encouraged by buffoons like RoadStress.
This is what the HF rep said:

The answer is if you buy Baby Jet for 51 BitCoins today and it does not ship, you will be refunded the 51 BitCoins you paid.
This what you greedy retards chose to hear:

The answer is if you buy Baby Jet for 51 BitCoins today and it does not ship, you will be refunded the 51 BitCoins you paid (no matter what, even if BTC goes to $1 MILLION DOLLARS PER COIN).
Can you spot the difference?
So let me get this straight. If 1M$ per bitcoin is too much, if 500$ per bitcoin is too much who sets the limit? How should customers interpret the statement from the HF rep? If bitcoin was 200$ would they get 51 bitcoins as refund? What about at 150$ per bitcoin?
Also by your statement HF never intended to fully refund everyone from Batch 1 after their missed deadline. They had some money for some of the customers, but not for all. So they broke their own ToS by not having money for everyone from Batch 1. Am I reading this correct? HF took money for 4(?) batches and never had any plan/back-up plan to fully refund everyone from Batch 1.
