Once they build 1000 cars, I will be interested.

I have been following Aptera for sooo long, I sense they could fold and go under any moment and take anybody's deposit down with them.

Who, if anyone, is the big name behind them ? Or do they even have anyone ? Like someone on the level of Bezos, or similar ?

This recent filing says Polar Asset Management ( https://polaramp.com/ ) is involved to the tune of 2.25M shares: https://ir.aptera.us/node/7511/html
If they're actual deposits, and not crowd funding, they go into an account that gets special treatment in bankruptcy court.
Their FAQ says you can request a refund at any time, at least at present: https://aptera.us/article/how-do-i-cancel-my-aptera-pre-orde...
