Not sure about that. They used to have all of their investors on the website which have now been removed. And this was in fact known well before this blew up, contrary to what snopes says, so not knowing of it before then doesn't make it fake. I think the creators truly thought this was a good idea and didn't bother to run it through a focus group or anything first.

However, like you, I also don't believe there will be an app, but that will be because of non-approval by Apple or just general failure to make it happen. I think the real scam here was to the people who actually invested money in this venture. I reaaalllly want to know which government gave them $50k and through which program.
