Elio didn't even have a developed product. Not prior, not during, not after, not now. After how many MILLIONS collected and spent???
But the clincher is Elio put the bulk of his energy and capital into fundraising and marketing; product development took a huge back seat to that. I'd go so far as to say product "development" was only grudgingly undertaken as a means to keep the public interested thus enabling the main focus- fundraising- to continue.
