With an attitude like yours, you won't be buying one from me, will you. Sorry, am I not entitled to spend MY OWN MONEY on whatever I wish? Jealousy is very ugly.
My friend is on the dev team, I got 15 of these @ cost. No need to be bitter, time to act like adults now.

I don't really believe that what you said is true, as you have made up a lot of stuff in the past. (thinking of the buckets of Cherry switches e.g.) But either way you're not making friends with posts like these. As you're talking about sins once again: these posts only display pride.
RC-1140 hits the nail on the head here: it isn’t that people are “jealous” that you — allegedly — have so many, it’s that your “friend” bypassed the sensible restrictions put in place to ensure the widest distribution possible. The whole purpose of the device is to get it into as many hands as possible, so appropriate software can be developed so that the kids it’s intended for get maximum benefit from the project. It’s *not* so that entitled nerds can horde them and sell them off for profit/reputation on web fora. Your attitude here is worse than that you accuse fossala of having.
Your “friend”, if he exists at all, deserves to be disciplined for abusing his position for your financial benefit. He may have thought he was doing you a favour, but his actions are actively working against the project’s aims, and run contrary to the spirit of the endeavour. That’s not something he should be proud of, and not something I would thank you for broadcasting if I were in his shoes.
Inevitably, you’ll somehow twist this around to try and make yourself the wronged party, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re fucking with something noble for your own selfish ends.
