I did hear back from easybuy2000 today (a day later than they said they would), but they basically just said they are doing the best they can. I will post back here with any other updates I hear from them. The good news is that at least they are still in contact (still haven't left town or anything).
Yes, maybe it was a mistake on Xodus part to choose easybuy2000 to handle their product, but they may not have had any choice. They had to find a company that was willing to invest in their idea and handle the manufacture and marketing of it. Most people think Xodus handles the manufacturing of the chips and then sells to easybuy2000, but this is not the case. Xodus simply gave the plans to easybuy2000 and easybuy2000 handled the rest. This is why easybuy2000 is the sole distributor of the Matrix.
