A lot of MC riders have passed over the money. Elio is being compared to Tucker. All I can say it $27M and more and more coming in daily, they are at least doing the hype right. If (or when) it comes to fruition, (PEP Boys is the service center for them already)... I'm just pretty hopeful. -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec Edited by folkert Aug. 16, 2014, 08:53:47 PM EDT Expand All History

The Kreyos smartwatch (red flag #1) began as a flex-funding campaign (red flag #2) on Indiegogo (red flag #3) in July of 2013. After raising $1.5 million - $1.4 million more than their original goal - Kreyos set to work creating its seemingly well-funded, purportedly unique product. The company promised early backers would see their watches by November of 2013, just 3 months after the end of the campaign (red flag #4). When November had come and gone, backers started getting suspicious. [...] Cheers, Scott.
