StoneTether is a small bluetooth tracking device that claimed it could be used up to 500 feet away. They only needed 20k and got over 360k from kickstarter. It has a been a mess of shipment dates every other month and "shipping soon!". It has now gotten to the point where they are asking for more investment money just to be abled to keep the project alive. They have clearly done something nefarious with the kickstarter money as they still have less to show then the original kickstarter video for a small bluetooth tracker.
They have taken orders on their website since the end of the kickstarter in 2014 and are very unclear to buyers that it doesn't exist. They delete any Facebook comments that say nobody has received anything or just simple update questions.
Just yesterday the creator Ehrien Marth posted a update asking for IP investors for his scam
"As you know, StoneTether provides features that are non-existent in the market previously or currently. In doing this, we took on a great deal of work from both hardware as well as the software end. This includes expanding on the unique feature set we had started with. We did not anticipate the project costs expanding so far.
All of this took a significant amount of funding and we are nearly complete with development. However, due to the costs, we have been seeking further funding to continue and deliver this project. Bottom line is we have not given up and will continue to work towards delivery as soon as further investment or funds are in place.
Right now, we are actively seeking more investment as well as funding from many different sources, such as traditional investment funding, partnerships, and software/IP licensing to name a few. Please understand that this may postpone the launch but we will continue to work towards gaining funding through these methods to get back on track with this project. "
Ive attached links where people have discussed this being a scam from the beginning and now its obvious. Ehrien Marth doesn't deserve more money on this scam.
