Re: Its not a "scam"
Not a scam? Are you kidding?
They're under investigation by three federal agencies, the labor department exploring the fact they took health insurance out of employee paychecks but never paid the health insurance company.
Some people were given estimates for a piece of sub-$1,000 hardware that exceeded $200,000! |

@66.84.x.x | well? if they were stupid enough to pay for it, too bad for them
shop around, get lots of estimates, and never believe the hype, and you'll have nothing to worry about |

It doesn't look like they are being investigated for charging an inflated price, but for misrepresenting what the device did. If I buy $50 linksys routers, remove the branding and lease them to you for $100/month saying they will let you connect more than one computer per IP address I believe there's nothing illegal with that. But if I go and say that it will quadruple the amount of bandwidth available and spontaneously synthesize gold ingots at the rate of about one ingot every 3 days then that would be illegal.

Yeah I've got a Linksys router and it definitely excretes some ingots. |
