What once seemed like a promising partnership between a local electric vehicle startup and a Taiwanese tech giant has turned into a legal war of words.
[snip] 
Responding last week to the bankruptcy, attorneys for Hon Hai expressed doubt about Lordstown Motors' reasons for filing. 
“…they presented a story that depicts Lordstown as the innocent victim of a fraud perpetrated by Foxconn. This is a fictitious narrative created by Lordstown solely for the purpose of obtaining a tactical litigation advantage. The facts will show that Foxconn acted in good faith, complied with its contractual obligations, and did everything it reasonably could to support Lordstown,” Foxconn stated in its motion, further asserting that there is an absence of “a reasonable likelihood of rehabilitation” for Lordstown Motors.
