BBC had a report on it yesterday that I posted but no traction. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11126398 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11126398 The worst part is government officials are endorsing the phone? It is someone just trying to raise funds via preorders to try to get one made, like some kind of kickstarter and the press just ran with it?

That looks like what is happening. You have to remember that even before kickstarter people managed to scam others. Kickstarter isn't really required for that.

that government official in the story is murli manohar joshi. he does not know his elbow from his posterior. Joshi is an entitled superstitious hindu fanatic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yND74tSqlBA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yND74tSqlBA If he endorses the product, it is probably a scam

  > Joshi is an entitled superstitious hindu fanatic By that same standard, every Republican presidential candidate is a "Christian fanatic", but nobody uses that term for the Republicans.
