The website for BTCFPGAs ASIC offerings (http://bitcoinasic.net/) has been taken down today after weeks of controversy involving strange forum posts, guaranteed shipping dates, claims of hacking, Asian Buyers, Buyers from Iraq and finally claims of fraud from the same Iraqi buyers.

The WhoIs data (contained below) says that the domain is till valid, but the site is being re-directed to a Securepay page saying "This site is currently unavailable.". Further more it goes on to ask the site owner to ring a GoDaddy support number.

Perhaps this will finally be the end of this story, but with hundreds of bASIC pre-orders apparently still outstanding I doubt it.
