Crowdfunding Hell: Fontus Scam Finally Dies

On 10 September 2018 German-speaking media reported that the Fontus -- a crowdfunded item on Indiegogo that pulled in around 1500 backers (plus some grant money from government and private entities) -- was bankrupt.

This was predicted long and LOUD by those of us who watch crowdfunding, like Thunderf00t and EEVBlog. No one listened.

No water for you, if you backed this pipe dream.

Tbh I was hoping they'd have gone bankrupt much sooner. They clearly had no idea what they were doing and possibly dark intentions with the money from the beginning.
