BFL research

butterfly labs inc. has no public records or anything to prove its a real world business

step one - anonymity when registering web address
http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?domain=butterflylabs.com&prog_id=GoDaddy

step two - their PO POX address for a state that has no record of them

step three - their trademarks are not listed on government search (TESS search)
http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp
closest thing that is BFL Inc is a emergency shelter company.

step four - they publicise they are in Kansas MO.. but the state records cant find them
https://www.sos.mo.gov/BusinessEntity/soskb/csearch.asp

step five - the telephone number 816 226 6966
is not a business line, its a residential line registered to the address:
Chambers Lofts
25 E 12 St #804
Kansas City, MO 64106

step six - address found via telephone
indeed is a kansas address which coincides with their PO-BOX but the address is a residential building of one bedroom one bathroom apartments above some shops

step seven - the biggest slip up by BFL rep on bitcointalk
random people investigating found a close 'corporation listing' to BFL which is based in Wyoming called BF labs Inc.

BFL quoted on bitcointalk soon after

Hi guys.
Corporate registry - The company is a 'C' corp registered in the state of Wyoming as BF Labs Inc.  Why Wyoming when you're not based there?  Mostly due to it's favorable tax and legal climate.
</qoute>

trying to convince users that the closest INC listing to BFL which a user found is theirs without actually realising the initial user who found the wyoming listing made a mistake and did not look into the Wyoming company before publishing the record.

the mistake is this.. they didnt check to see what the wyoming company actually does. they just seen a close enough name to it and posted it, then BFL said its them without also checking into how plausible they could get away with saying its the same company.

well here is the listing:

file number 2011-000606261

step eight - BF labs inc is a registered and trademarked company but they are BIOTECH Frontiers Lab
http://www.lookupbook.com/profile/healthcare-biotech/wy/casper/bf-labs-inc

they make and maintain medical equipment such as freezers, sterilisers centrifuges etc.

When BFL spokesperson on bitcointalk suggested that they are the wyoming listing due to the lack of digging one of the bitcoin community done to realise it was a different company. made me laugh, then for BFL to not look at the listing enough to realise that its nothing like their business, and just say yes thats us, in a rash judgement to gain credibility without genuine first person identification made me laugh more.

step nine - the common vouching that its real
bitcointalk user: inuba who owns a pool and who just so happened to work in same street as the BFL residential apartment and the only person claiming to be using ASICS is now working for them.

its far easier to beleive he and his cohorts used the $600 deposits to pay for many standard GPU rigs.. link them all to one worker and claim that its ASIC's.

step ten- read the whole thread here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=48863.0
including BFLs omission that they are a steriliser production company for the medical industry.

as u can see by the dates in thread, it was proven in november 2011 they are fake. yet people still wait for their products.
