Well, here's the thing, CIMA - many of you speculated that the CIP patents were worth up to $1 billion or more, and that were LQMT to be sold, it would fetch something like that. Many of us thought that was ... hmm ... illogical ... and we were proven correct when Li bought roughly half of LQMT for $63 million.
So ... is he a genius for paying just $63 million for nearly 50 pct of a billion-dollar-plus patent portfolio?
Or ... was it never quite worth what folks thought/think it is ...
If it's the former, well, of course it would make sense he'd buy for $63 million and then cut a private deal for far more than that ...
