Many questions surrounding the 150 dollar [Medison] laptop

| Ivancic sticks to his previous promise that the first computers will be 
| delivered around August 15. According to Ivancic they have received thousands 
| of orders.  
| 
| In order to defend himself against accusations of fraud, he leans on the 
| established American online retailer, 2Checkout, which has promised that no 
| money will be withdrawn from the customer’s account before a product has been 
| shipped. The money remains in every individual’s account; it has been 
| reserved, but no money has been withdrawn.

| So here are my own conclusions:
|
| -Even if Medison really is a scam, my will get my money back when 2Checkout 
| realizes they have nothing. 
| 
| -It is unlikely that Medison is a scam because they are working through a  
| distributor (which seems reputable according to BBB). Taking orders and not 
| delivering anything will not get them anything at all, because it wouldn't 
| make sense for 2Checkout to give them the money without first getting their 
| hands on the product.
