i have read a few interviews with the CEO etc, and all i have seen is his insisting it is not banned, that its the hype about it and not his product.
He can't say it's banned because it isn't banned, it's just not approved yet. The approval time for some countries can take a long time.

He would by lying if he said it was banned.

It's like when pharmaceutical drug companies are seeking FDA approval for a new drug. Until they get FDA approval they're not banned, but they're not approved yet either.

For something to be banned, it would have had to have been sold originally and then the government decided to ban it. That isn't the case here.

Pending approval is not the same as being banned.
