Sorry to be the bearing of potential bad news. But one of the replies had a link to how CC work. My reading indicates the CC company only temporarily put a hold on the charge until they get hold of MS. If they can’t recover funds from MS they reinstate the charge to you. I would contact CC company to verify.
The article says the same thing I said. They refund your money while they investigate. But it implies that is temporary. I plan to call my CC company and ask the what If questionI think you're incorrect - at least in some cases (ie I think most of the time you get your money back) - but agree with checking: https://www.chicagotribune.com/busi...losed-customer-lost-money-03162018-story.html
Right - it says the consumer gets their money back - and that the card issuer is the creditor.The article says the same thing I said. They refund your money while they investigate. But it implies that is temporary. I plan to call my CC company and ask the what If question

The employees most of the time don't even know the true intention of the management team. I am not saying the management team had bad intentions from the beginning but obviously they didn't manage expectation and cash flow well enough to make this a real deal. The responsibility falls on the leaders, not the employees. In this case, the employees are also victims of bad leadership and management.I can confirm that all employees have been laid off.
It's a shame, I was really hoping they would turn this around.
This is the definition of a failed company. They absolutely were hoping to deliver the units. Having met and talked with several employees, no one was intentionally scamming anyone. Tech people tend to be very passionate about the technology and have rose colored glasses when it comes to estimating how ready it is.
Even under the best circumstances, ideas that seem good tend to be much harder to bring to market than anyone could predict. Especially very complex ones like this. I'll bet that's exactly what happened here.
I feel bad for the folks who bought a unit and used it for a couple months - no refunds for them, and now their unit will no longer work.
I feel bad for the kickstarter people - they're out of luck too.
I feel bad for the employees - hopefully they'll find new jobs.
This whole situation sucks.
well - im ny opinion youre reading it wrong. lol. and of course part of the reason most people pay theIR CC A fee each year- is to help cover such stuff. But time will tell. If your CC does not have a solution for this problem - my suggestion might be to get a new CCIt’s not how I read it. I read it’s only temporary and if the CC company fail to get the funds back from vendor they can reinstate the charge.
Well either way someone should pursue fraud against them.
Even if the CC company ends up taking the loss it hurts our hobby. The next time a starter company wants to make a breakthrough it could cause some to hesitate even if that company had a good product and good intentions.
What I meant was - if I was one of the 7,000,000 investors (I was not) once I saw the product selling, and the razor razor blade issue working well (i.e the disks and the monitor) - I would not pull out unless - there was a problem with the product - or another company said - Hey - We'll give you xxx, xxxx.oo to just shut down. I have not clue - the product may have been horrible... IDK

I’m curious from folks that actually got and were using this device: did it actually work as claimed?

I’d not have touched one with the proverbial ten foot pole. Are probes/discs a viable approach. Good ideas are at always successful the first time around.
I am sure it works. Otherwise he would not post this.. Melevsreef reputation is on the line.

CC Company wont take the loss. The consumer will with increase rates.Well either way someone should pursue fraud against them. Even if the CC company ends up taking the loss it hurts our hobby.
