Legacy

On December 2, 2019, Escobar Inc released what it called the Escobar Fold 1 smartphone featuring a flexible screen,[6] which ended up being a rebadged Royole FlexPai.[7] Escobar Inc is tied to various scams involving selling smartphones and flamethrowers with Escobar Inc branding without delivering the products to customers.[8] [9]
