[US] 590,000 people paid $100 each for a Trump gold phone. Zero phones shipped. The fine print says non-refundable.
A guy ordered four of them. Told his son about it. His son ordered some. They said September. Then November. Then end of year. Then they stopped taking orders. Then they stopped giving updates.
The terms of service say a "deposit" is not a purchase. It does not reserve you a phone. It provides a "conditional opportunity to buy." You paid $100 for the chance to maybe pay them more money later. If they ever feel like making the phone.
Fifty-nine million dollars in deposits. Zero confirmed deliveries. FTC is investigating. Made in USA claim disappeared overnight. Replaced with "American proud design."
