I can tell you what happen.
Investors saw to many fingers in the cookie jar and pulled. Most likely small buyouts will proceed if they're lucky. If they aren't lucky you're probably looking at a 'rip' from a foreign company to make suing damn near impossible.
What a shitty and typical story.

Looks like a story of pioneering and mindless greed. They thought they had him by the balls and he cut them off.
Somehow I have a feeling we're not being told all the details.Or maybe, some competition paid to sabotage the project?
BTW, was there ever a working prototype?

looks like there was definitely a working prototype....just from reading that article....
there's a lot missing in that article...who are the elusive mysterious 'share holders' that Chandra keeps mentioning? for example...there's more to this story than what's being told right now, and i'm looking forward to finding out more...
I only read techrunch every once in a while, and i've heard that arrington has a bit of an ego, or some nonsense like that....but i have to admit, i've been reading for a while now about the crunchpad and was very interested....seemed like a great product...
i feel sorry for the guy....
but my guess is that this is only the begining....hopefully the project will bounce back....
