Who I have the same questioned this topic

They imported them from the UK. Samsung isn't selling them... you need to check your facts...Where is Samsung official statement that Verizon isn't allowing them to support their products. Under block C rules Samsung can make a phone that works on Verizon without Verizon intervention, and Verizon has to hand them the keys to XLTE and such. Of course that's not going to happen. Manufacturers love the states. They can support their products a lot less than Europe because we will never blame them for anything.
