I never assume lousy due diligence. But it is fair to wonder how much diligence 
they did do.

It's indisputable that there is 'dumb money' out there - the history of poor 
due diligence on investments is legendary.  I've seen a ~$90 million dollar 
investment fund up close, and you would be surprised at the lack of due 
diligence. I was surprised when the SEC stepped in to reveal the fund was a 
house of cards.

You may as well ask why people do inexplicable things? It's clear that Mills 
has personal charisma and is able to raise money, and that is impressive. But 
in my opinion any sort of scientific or business results look to be extremely 
unlikely at this stage. Mills has raised and spent a lot of money, that's for 
sure. 

The details do not add up to me - for example, why on earth does a company 
involved in speculative research spend millions to buy a fifty thousand square 
foot building in New Jersey, when their team could fit in a smaller leased lab?

Surely you jest? As I pointed out, they've had 22 years, and yet it is they 
that keep shifting the goalposts. All of this skepticism would cease if they 
had a working product.
