They put up another tranche of (non-existent) pre-order tablets when they likely already knew that they couldn't fulfil even a fraction of the IGG backer rewards this year, and maybe never fulfil others / have it commercially available.

That seems like a rather questionable thing to do. Robbing Peter to pay Paul.

They're about to lay off a large portion of their workforce (by their own admission), which they then hope to re-hire post restructuring. Assuming they do restructure their debt and receive more VC money and grants from the government, do you think all of those staff will have happily sat in limbo for several months? Some might. Others will flee and look for employment elsewhere. Even best case, Jolla face huge problems, and beyond an act of charity I don't see how or why Intex would continue to develop a Sailfish device.

If they make it to MWC as a going concern, rather than in administration, it'll be a surprise.
