Butterfly Labs only owe the FTC $38 million, will pay $19,000 in what seems like an entirely appropriate settlement

The queue for refunds is only 2000 people long too.

I'm amazed at all the people in the comments who say they got scammed. Especially since all of them seem to just shrug it off like "that's the way it goes sometime." Everyone and their mother was warning you people this was a scam.
