    It's my understanding that some POS person is spreading rumors that SBAF is getting a cut of the percentage of sales of the TH-X00. This is not true. In fact, my TH-X00 was purchased by me with my own money at the regular drop price. The review unit sent to me was delivered to another person who was interested in hearing it. @Will can confirm this.

    This pisses me off.

    If I ever find out who is spreading these rumors, I am going to tear that person into an XXXXXXX.

    What?

    People are stupid.

    I still have the TH-X00 they sent me but it has to go back.

    What idiot things SBAF has enough influence to make enough of a dent in a Massdrop sale to give you/us a cut?

    That is one of the stupidest things I've heard.......this year. Glad I missed out on the first drop as I would have probably bought one and I need to focus on upgrading my DAC to a Gungnir Multibit. :punk: Sometimes drowning in work is a monetary blessing. ;)

    What is truly sad is what this hobby has become with the massive shilling that people could even come up with ridiculous stuff like this.

    Oh good grief, I thought the thread title had to be a joke. And it isn't.

    But it is now, thanks to various assorted members :)

    That's pretty shitty - excuse my language, but that pisses me off to hear $h^t like this. Yes, every member here gets a cut of the TH-X00 Sales - we are all buying Yggdrasil's now.

    Probably someone with poor character who is projecting his own flaws onto you. Or a dumbshit asshat. Could be both. I had an old business partner who was paranoid about what I was doing with the company money. He ended up being the one to liquidate our bank account without telling the other partners. He was a snake that assumed everyone else was as shitty as he was. I definitely understand how frustrating this is.
