To me the person to blame here are the people spending 52M buying it and using it as a protection without testing it. I know it's a bit blaming the victim, but in this case we're not talking about regular people, but about higher ups whose responsibility is precisely to be able to find solutions and handle a budget : if they get scammed (or more probably corrupted) by such ridiculous devices, the blood is on their hand from the minute they accepted the responsibility.
