Argh, those bastards...
...I've been wondering when they'd get strung up for *something*. I ran a calculation on one of their 'top of the line' PCs a while back, and you ended up paying upwards of $2500 for a machine worth $400 at most. Absolutely ludicrous stuff.
I'm really not sure why major cable network (history channel, speedtv... and those are the only ones I watch anyway) can get away with running ads for blatantly fraudulent companies like these guys.
My other favorite was Ameridebt, which ran *gobs* of commercials on SpeedTV a few years ago (SpeedTV apparently thinks average watchers are bald, fat, and broke, except during F1 races when they run ads for Mercedes). I had this sneaking suspicion that Ameridebt wasn't exactly above board, and lo, after SpeedTV helped them to some oodles of millions of dollars, they got smacked down. I have another sneaking suspicion, though - that the company's assets were not accurately represented in the court filings...
