Just let this thread die. Sprit doesn't need any more publicity.
If anyone still wonders why the majority of the responders in this thread dislike Sprit, this is exactly why!
Some orders have week to week delivery, some are 3+ years old and it's impossible to get a status from Sprit as he doesn't reply on emails..
Seems our orders gave him startup capital, without him providing a product for the money we gave him. Lovely person, just lovely. F&ck him
Just a feel a bit ridiculous when there's so much attention on Ivan/Kin125, and this buy has been going South for longer than any of them, without an inkling of attention from the mods. I mean, they let him post a 2nd GB up here, while this one was already going super crappy. And apparently, there are *still* people defending Sprit and saying "he needs more time."
Just pisses me off is all, especially since he did as you said: took the money from this buy, used it as startup capital, and apparently nobody minds dealing business with an open scammer.
As long as he delivers in the end it doesn't matter. GBs can take along time. It's accepted. If its within 5 years of the GB start to delivery that's just a long GB. You can't necessarily expect something to go from a drawing board to a final form in your hands produced on a decent scale in 6 months or a year. I work in semiconductor manufacturing and its not uncommon for small changes in the line to take two years of coming up with a problem, collecting data, getting it approved and implemented. Imagine one person creating multiple product designs, sending them to a manufacturer, the manufacturer may have to do small tooling adjustments and other things to manufacture them, then that same person has to handle distribution and customer service. It can take a LONG TIME for one person who has a life and another job on the side I imagine. I ordered at the end of '13 and still have hope that small things like manufacturing and distribution got in the way as well as communication but that it will still lead to a successful group buy in the end. Though I do find it troublesome and unacceptable there there is just zero communication. Whether that's just because of issues outside of sprits hands or his inability to handle it all is another thing.
Still there is victim blaming. If you haven't joined this buy, if you haven't dealt with Sprit's numerous lies, you have no right to comment. Firstly, many ppl waiting for their stuff is components, and no keyboard. Secondly, he tells people he has their stuff done, and doesn't ship. Also realize that nobody on Sprit's last update:

Received their orders.
Sprit is first person I'd say is a liar on a pathological level. You have no idea of how little his word means. When he tells you that "he's shipping tomorrow", and still hasn't shipped in months/years after that message, you'd be singing a different tune. There have been people waiting for ~2.5 years now, and you clearly do not know what you're talking about. You don't even have an idea of what went on 2 pages ago in this thread.
Please, go away...
