Not doubting your word. Millions and millions...plural ….. of dollars have been funneled and filtered thru this company, illegalities, lawsuits,fiduciary irrespondsibility,failure,failure,sorry mentioned that twice.
Out of that millions of dollars, spent on who knows what,perhaps a little funding for an independent, third party, un-biased, broad spectrum, no family, no friends, no cronies, test of this invention that will "change the world one vehicle at a time".....and especially if you say it is functional...maybe $100/200 K...out of the millions of dollars that was accessible....would be an intelligent thing to do with other people's money??
Or maybe just go at it like it was always a scam...much easier in the long run...take the money and run......look for a new scam.
