this is not correct.

there is just enough to deliver.

there is *not* enough for contingency nor to pay anyone,
particularly that Chris appears on first glance to have
embezzled 0.8 BTC (worth USD 40,000 at the time).
given that he sponsored me to *50* thousand USD this can,
to some extent, be "overlooked".

in addition there is SIGNIFICANT funds LOCKED UP in
Crowd Supply that can ONLY BE UNLOCKED by BEGINNING
SHIPPING.

the plan was to send out the 93 Cards, at which point
the funds could have been unlocked.

Chris failing to respond has basically terminated that option,
setting the project back nearly 2 years.

please can i therefore request that you not make false statements
instead to ASK what is ACTUALLY happening.  if i get beyond a
certain threshold of people ignoring this simple request i will
have no choice but to place the list into Moderation Mode,
review every single message and communicate prvately with
people, requesting that they rewrite and remove any damaging
speculative and false statements.

i will not do that with good grace at all because it is a
completely unacceptable burden that i should in absolutely
no way have to tolerate.

i therefore expect AND DEMAND that everyone refrain from making
false statements, instead to be respectful and ASK QUESTIONS.
