One on my list of mind boggling "Tech 2.0" scams were:

1. Teranos

2. Magic Leap

3. Andelur Ghost

Only the last one still didn't get enough media attention. People who scored Andelur handshakes with the military & intelligence are the types who did it for Advanced Tactical Security & Communications Ltd ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADE_651 )

Andelur is basically trying to sell the governments around the world a Chinese toy copter for millions of dollars through incredible "Tech 2.0" type marketing fudging.

One thing these fellows can do for sure is a Hollywood grade CG. I was with a company on a competing bid for border patrol drone.

Even I, somebody with quite good experience with CG, was initially fooled by their videos. Indeed, they intentionally were trying to numb your guard by showing it flying in the rain, and being sprayed by water. https://youtu.be/5xDEroiMQWk?t=100

It took me a few minutes to figure out that the rain, and water spay in their videos were also impressively disguised computer graphics.
