I'm sorry, but if there is one textbook example of how not to run a business (and we all know what the outcome of the HF story is), then it has to be HF. Is there anybody here who is going to give HF an award for best business practices?

While it might be true that the US court did not put any punishment on the table (yet) for the people involved, I can guarantee that if it would have been a European court, there would be a different outcome.

So basically you are pointing out weak consumer protection laws that favour scum like Eddy and Simon to get away with this fiasco. So lucky for them, they are US based, but that does not make it right.

And doing the right thing is something iCEBREAKER seems to be struggling with. Ever heard of ethics?
