I guess it's not about finding the faulty party here, but rather seeing reason behind current problems.

i.e. the guts of $50M has went into Jolla since 2012 - going into 2016 the Sailfish user base is still tiny, there are no products in the pipeline, there is no plan as to how Sailfish can be commercially viable.

Wrong, there is the Intex-deal and their first Sailfish-phone is in the pipleline. Plans on how to monetize Sailfish OS have been there for a while and new deals have been negotiated but not yet finalized. On that regard investor withdrawing does seem a bit odd compared to previous financing rounds where commercial success was even further away.

The whole point of this thread was tl talk about the possibilities of keeping Sailfish going.

Without some company/corporation actively developing it there is no way it can live in the long run. At least in a sense that it could become relevant player.
