Here's my HIGHLY speculative theory of a "worst-case scenario." I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT THIS IS SPECULATION - it is not intended to cast anyone in a negative light (except maybe one unknown individual, which I'll explain), nor is it intended to cause chaos in this thread, speculation ONLY, based on a largely unverifiable source I was able to dig up online.

SERIOUSLY - take this with a grain of salt (in fact, take all the salt from delayed GB's and take all of it)

June/July - jchan hits some unexpected delays with production, stabs, etc. - common in group buys
Late July/August - Boards begin shipping at a decent rate, lots of QC, but movement.
Mid-August - life kicks in HARD, jchan obviously is dealing with a whirlwind of gigantic proportions - it is entirely understandable that he takes a step back for a moment to deal with it.
Late august thru September - Updates trickle in, jchan is dealing with life, and we are all (mostly) understanding
Sept 23rd - jchan's last update to this thread - says m65's will start moving next week
***SPECULATION PART***
through crimereports.com(my largely unverifiable source), there was a burglary reported on the block keyclack's warehouse is located (I won't post it, but it's pretty easy to find with a search) on September 29th around 7PM
I'm speculating that the M65-A's were stolen from Keyclack headquarters.
If this is the case, it would put jchan in an extremely tough situation(on top of life stuff) - especially if they were uninsured/not covered.
The question would arise whether this group buy was done under keyclack, or personally through mr. Chan himself. If it was the former, the legal implications could be crippling for Keyclack, and if it was the latter, crippling for jchan himself.

If I'm being a total moron and causing issues just for speculating, I hope that jchan will say so. Hopefully he can swoop in and clear everything up.
