I'm just as irritated as anyone else by the loss of my money and the utter lack of explanation/communication/update. HOWEVER, a failure to communicate is in no way *proof* of ill-intent or that Solomon "took the money and ran". Basically, the angry mob has decided that because Solomon isn't updating us, that he stole all of our money. That doesn't follow.
There's a lot of people in this thread who seem to think this is a binary situation: either we get our figures, or Solomon's a crook who stole our money and meant to do so from the get-go, and there's no room for anything in between. It's entirely possible that he can't refund our money
because he spent it trying to get the products made
and it's all gone.
We know, though, that prototyping and tooling was paid for at the factory and that some parts were produced. We've seen these, not just posted by Solomon but by third-parties. That's evidence that money was taken by the factory, which stands in direct opposition to the idea that Solomon "ran off" with it.
Has the project failed?
Pretty safe assumption at this point.
Has Solomon been as forthcoming or open as I think he should be about what's going on?
Absolutely not. There's been a complete lack of communication on this that's unacceptable.
Has the project failed because of poor management/failure to research the factory/failure to understand what's involved in manufacturing/too high standards/other reasons?
You could make a strong argument for these things.
Does
any
of the above mean that he deliberately stole from us, or that this was all a big scam?
Not at all.
Hanlon's razor applies here.
