I would be pissed if I invested BTC into this and found out that someone was able to buy shares after the deadline. "We are firm on the ending time of 8 PM EST" The words from the OP don't mean shit apparently. Invest with caution because the OP is greedy as fuck
Just to note, I have nothing much to financially gain from this ICO. In case I haven't mentioned it here before, I am not pocketing all of these ICO funds. The vast majority of funds from this ICO will be vested into mining ventures, and the remaining small portion will pay for exchange listings, marketing, advertisement, graphics, and the latter.
I am aware of my decision of allowing that 1.4 BTC deposit to come through, and I can assure you my motives of allowing it weren't of personal gain. This is for the good of the ICO investors, as that additional 1.4 BTC meant a ~17% increase in the capital of the SRF from the original amount. It also opens up the option of hosting a mining farm near my city, Toronto (you can find additional information about this earlier in my posts).
