"So, here are the facts as we understand them: Mars One has almost no money. Mars One has no contracts with private aerospace suppliers who are building technology for future deep-space missions. Mars One has no TV production partner. Mars One has no publicly known investment partnerships with major brands. Mars One has no plans for a training facility where its candidates would prepare themselves. Mars One’s candidates have been vetted by a single person, in a 10-minute Skype interview."
My Paraphrase of Original Source:
[11] We hear Keep explain the list of problems with Mars One to essentially be that they lied both about their funds and sources of funding, which they claimed to have, but apparently do not, that Mars One is on their own in terms of technological development, that Mars One is not equipped to train any of the applicants for the mission that they announced would begin soon, and that their selection process far less than an adequate measure of an astronaut's fitness for space travel.
[11] Keep describes how Mars One has either lied to (or kept secret from) the public about their lack of funds and funding, lack of business partnerships, lack of training facilities, and lack of adequate standards for astronaut selection.
