From the BBC:
The company behind a Kodak-branded crypto-currency mining scheme has confirmed the plan has collapsed.
In January, a Bitcoin mining computer labelled Kodak KashMiner was on display on Kodak's official stand at the CES technology show in Las Vegas.
But critics labelled it a "scam" and said the advertised profits were unachievable and misleading.
Now the company behind the scheme says it will not go ahead. Kodak told the BBC it was never officially licensed.
An up-front investment of $3,400 to rent a box that will generate $375 a month in bitcoin? I hear the word "ponzi" on the breeze...

I think we need P.T. Barnum right now. We don't have him. But we have me. And I hear from many people that I'm a lot like him. But in many ways, much better. Little story about P.T. Barnum, he ran a museum. Folks would pay to go in, they'd look around for a long time. It got very crowded, it was cutting into his profits. Too many visitors! So he put up a sign, "this way to the egress." Folks would follow the sign, they'd end up outside. Locked out. Because "egress" is a fancy word for the exit. A word that a lot of folks didn't know. I don't talk like that. and I don't write like that. I use words everyone knows. I have many many words. But I stick to the simple ones. And folks love me for it!!!
