The Erik Prince? Mercenary and alleged-murderer Erik Prince? https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/blackwater-founder-implicated-murder/ https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/blackwater-founder... Now selling a low-end "secure" smartphone? Weird change of business, right?

Since when does an $850 price tag on an android phone count as low end?

  "Low-end" presumably refers to the fact that it's resold graylabel hardware. I wouldn't be surprised if the unit manufacturing cost was below $50.

    Yeah, that.

  For $850 I'll sell you a couple of candybar Nokias with prepaid SIMs, and an afternoon's tuition on how to do one-time pads properly. Hell, I'll do it for $425. If you bring your own phones, I'll do it for a chilli burger.
