After delaying the production of the phone, again and again, has finally filed for bankruptcy.

The news came out first on February 3 from Finnish newspaper Salon Seudun Sanomat, who was closely following CEO Steve Syl Chao’s progress in Salo, Finland where Turing rented an empty warehouse.

Further to the initial report, Salon Seudun Sanomat in a fresh news earlier today claims that the Chao is very relentless about TRI not being in debt and not being able to move operations out of Salo.
