He has not described his strategy quite this clearly, but he did say most of this. McKubre, I, and many others feel this is what he thinks. I have to grant, the plan seems to be working. 13 orders for $2 million each is a lot of money. He gets that for 0% of the company. No interference from venture capitalists. There is much to be said for a self-financing operation. If he gets enough cash he will have enough to write a good patent and fight for it in court. I have heard the best patent you can write is worthless unless you have millions of dollars to fight big corporations and others who will try to rip it off. A patent is "a license to sue." A large war chest of tens of millions might also let him buy enough influence on Capital Hill to overrule the U.S.P.O. The only way you can influence Uncle Sam is with cold hard cash. - Jed
