It looks like Jolla was right to never endorse this product, they never even mentioned it. In hindsight, they were right.

Cheng, I invested in this because based on the response here you have a good reputation in this community. In the first messages and during the initial crowdfunding you did not not in any way make clear you are separate from these people. If you would have said: these are some people I don't really know and they have a cool idea that's risky and might work, but I'm not part of their company: I probably would not have funded. Why did you not make this clear from the outset?
