Many people saw this coming for quite a while, but it's finally official. Pono is dead. I received word that Pono, Ivanhoe, Inc. a Delaware corporation, dissolved as of December 2017. I was able to validate this information with the Delaware Secretary of State's office. Pono lasted from December 16, 2011 until its dissolution on December 21, 2017. Based on the Delaware dissolution documents, Pono had an outstanding debt of $2,519,955 and its creditors moved to foreclose on its assets.

Over the last couple years many Pono fans we're still hanging on optimistically like Lloyd Christmas. After a few updates from the Pono website many said, "So you're telling me there's a chance." Now however it's over, done, never coming back, final, etc...

R.I.P. Pono.
