Gold Apollo stated that the AR-924 pager model was produced and sold by BAC Consulting, which was authorized to use its trademark for specific regions. Hsu Ching-kuang, Gold Apollo's founder, emphasized the embarrassment caused by the device’s mismanagement, clarifying that his company did not manufacture the devices that exploded in Lebanon. Instead, he pointed out that BAC handled all design and manufacturing processes, revealing an intricate supply chain involving unauthorized use of branding.
During a press conference, Hsu reflected on the financial difficulties with BAC, noting the 'strange' nature of remittances. He indicated that payments were funneled through the Middle East, thereby raising concerns about the legitimacy of the financial arrangements and the oversight of the manufacturing process. This further complicates the situation regarding accountability, highlighting the tension and potential miscommunication between the Taiwanese firm and its Hungarian partner.
