@ericdc30:
Wow! What a great success story. I bet you and Justin are the best buddies now. You got your silver and  now you're doing his PR campaign for him. OP's claims can be forgotten because of your glorious photos. I'm a high-risk foreign customer anyway. Good job! Both of you. I'm sure that Mark Karpeles is in desperate need of guys like you Eric. If you successfully traded on Mt.Gox please post about it in details and help him out.
The only thing that Justin can't seem to manage still is copying and pasting the correct tracking numbers. He's got to hire some highly trained professional for that.
If you prefer a version without the sarcasm, then I would write this: As I've mentioned above, I´m a happy Coinabul customer. But I'm not going to post my positive reviews in a thread, that was started by someone who really got defrauded by that company. Positive feedback is just as important, but there's a place for it. In your case its this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=156256 If you want to be objective and impartial, read previous 2 posts by smoothie here, you might learn something.
You've been kept in the dark for 1.5 months. Now you're writing “thank you Justin” in large colourful fonts and diverting attention away from this liar. Is it Stockholm syndrome? Or you just have no respect for someone, in who's shoes you nearly ended up yourself?

Here I assume the "Crisis Strategy Draft" is authentic, as suggested here: https://twitter.com/paulbuitink/status/438428157948219392 . That means it requires 742408 BTC to cover Mark's ass.

Question 1: How do you acquire 742408 BTC? It's nearly 6% of all the existing bitcoin. Satoshi is probably the only person who holds such amount but I can't imagine he would bail out gox, nor sell a single satoshi to you. You may buy such amount from multiple early adoptors but you need to spend at least $0.22 billion for the deal even at a rate of $300/BTC

Question 2: Whether you buy the coins from Satoshi, from other early adopters, or your good self is Satoshi, you are releasing 6% of all bitcoin from dead cold wallet. That equals to 200 days of mining revenue and 5 times of FBI's holding. Do you think releasing such an amount in no time will cause a big chaos and crash in the market? How could you prevent this?

Question 3: If you have 742,408 BTC (whether you will buy it or already own it), why would you think you can earn more than this amount from gox in foreseeable future? With 1% fee you need a volume of 74,240,800 BTC to earn this amount. With 10,000 BTC per day, it will take you 20 years to recoup your investment. New markets are emerging and some have much lower fee, so I won't be surprised it would take >100 years to recoup your investment, if ever

Question 4: Taking 10% of your 742,408 BTC you can build the most solid exchange ever. You will attract all serious traders very soon. Why do you need the gox brand?

Question 5: Have you considered all the legal consequence of taking up a company with ongoing lawsuit with CoinLab and US DHS, and possibly the Japanese government?

Question 6: Have you considered the possibility that someone has taken all the 742,408 BTC and claims it was lost due to a security hole? How could you disprove this theory given the anonymous nature of bitcoin? For me this theory is much more plausible than someone kept draining the cold wallet and did not realize the problem until it became empty.

---------------------
My comments:

To be honest my biggest concern is question 2. The market cannot absorb such a huge amount if it is released in no time.

Of course, all these questions are based on the 742408 BTC assumption. If the amount is more reasonable, like 20,000 BTC, that could be a good deal.

Declaration: gox owes me nothing

Hi Justin,
I still haven't received anything. Also you never sent me a tracking number. Can you update me otherwise I will
have to take legal action.
Eric

Justin,
I still haven't received a reply... I am hoping we can resolve this issue ASAP before I have to report it on
bitcointalk as fraud and I have to contact the authorities. You have until Tuesday to at the very least reply to me.
Thanks.
Eric

Huh?

Is there any interest for custom heatsinks for our H boards. I've sourced a manufacturer that will make a 4" x 4" aluminum heatsink anodized black and I can provide 3m thermal adhesive tape. I have to order at least 400 units or so and they'd take 1-2 weeks to be made up. Let me know if there's interest as I plan on setting this up possibly Monday or Tuesday this week. I'll see how much more it would be to rush the order or if they'd even allow it.

Cost Estimate
Full M board populated would run $180 ($11.25 a board)+shipping
Individual cards I'm thinking $16+shipping

Payment could be in BTC, LTC, PPC

Please group these by chip.

Go look here... and add up the weeks... and look at their original posts on when things were SUPPOSED to ship.


https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage-new-products/300-gh-bitcoin-mining-card.html

All well documented in their forums. I don't need to be the source of the whether it is "true" it is posted on their forums.

Bitfury is shipping.

Login with ssh and check what chainminer is doing:

there is a good effort of people helping others fall into the trap. me silly enough I have pre orders, and I know plasmoske thinks I might be part of it or on a wild goose chase, but i'm right there on sunday and Monday. and if I cant locate them or get to see this demo the I will report to the authorities on Monday, even if I do see some sort of demo, chances are slim going by their actions i'm still not going to call it legit, and they will need answer lots of questions if by chance there is a an actual person to talk to

lets see what they say about refunds. they did state they are paypal verified so they can refund via paypal as well

BFL timeline for Monarch is April at least 19 weeks if you add up all the things they have to do. They are roughly behind schedule as they said they would ship this year. They said tapeout would be August. They are already 3 months behind... can we now put BFL in the FAILED to deliver the Monarch on time category?

Right!  Buy Bitcoins at the height of the bubble.  Good advice.
