This is exactly why I have stopped wasting time on this thread. It's like watching a slow moving train wreck, a few passengers have the balls to jump off and save themselves with the rest hanging on, hoping the carnage comes to a halt so they can salvage what's left.
I've found the crypto community in general to be pretty lethargic and resigned to take scams, delays and substandard hardware as some kind of acceptable loss. While this attitude persists, Alpha, KNC and their ilk will continue to take money and continue to get away with it.
I bailed back in July when they started deleting posts on this forum and the shady activities they were doing on their own forum. Their phone being disconnected was a big clue. A company like that had something to hide. I keep coming back hoping to see others recoup 100% or to see if there is an actual delivery. Plus idiots like that raj_kapur provide a little entertainment every now and then.
As for what happens now, my guess is that at some point in the not too distant future, Alpha's website will go blank except for a note saying that 'Sorry, the company is bankrupt'. They will blame someone else for their failures and warn those suing that there is no money left from which to recoup funds.
I hope everyone gets back 100% from these scumbags like I did, but I know that isn't going to happen. I wasn't smart enough to avoid this to begin with, but I was able to do a charge back early on and get every nickle back.
I hope the Fight Alpha site keeps plugging away at these jackals... posting their pictures, names, and addresses for years to come so that anyone googling these douches will come across it and learn how these fart sniffers scammed people.
I'm talking about you Mohammed Mubasher Akram, Fiaz Malik, Liroy Van, and Eric Gunn!
