An estimated 590,000 buyers paid a £74 ($100) deposit to secure one, collectively handing the venture roughly £43.7 million ($59 million). As of May 2026, not a single confirmed customer has received the device. Now, a fresh wave of anger is spreading across MAGA forums after buyers received communication making clear that their money is, for all practical purposes, gone.
The fact that there was never a phone, never going to be a phone or plan, and they still took deposits and then said “yeah, you’re not getting those back” would land any other person in front of a judge and promptly into a prison cell.
If you or I ran this scam you know that would be the outcome. This is just another clear example that if you’re a person of power and wealth the laws simply don’t apply to you. This isn’t a United States issue, this is a clear example of a world wide issue that we as regular people should be rioting over. I don’t care what country you’re in you HAVE people in your countries that do this shit daily. We should be placing heads on pikes.
“Who’d have thought a convicted conman would commit fraud again!? There’s literally no way we could have predicted this would happen! No way at all! It’s not as though there’s a list or anything! We should have a list!”
“There’s a list right h…”
“FAKE NEWS!!!”
