If the price was the only issue, $50 wouldn't be unreasonable at all. People underestimate the cost of distribution, offering support and warranties, vat/sales taxes etc.. $50 just for reselling the unmodified Chinese devices would be reasonable many places.
So I agree that making a fuss over the price is silly. Especially since their initial goal was low. A $7500 kickstarter to fund a bit of developer time to put together something nice is not unreasonable. Everything beyond that should pretty much be considered pre-orders.
But the lies and deception, false claims and apparent total lack of understanding of how to make the device secure on the other hand, goes far beyond stupid.
