For reasons of ego DK had to 'invent' the bracelet. He couldn't be bothered to do the hard work or creative thinking to sell the diff or the pump or any of the other patented auto related things Torvec had. No, HE had to push that aside to make way for HIS great idea. All that money and time spent on making a better watch than Apple. Like that could ever happen, but he sure had the right bait. Some sort of pre-production testing by JetBlue. Other companies interested, etc. All b s. Then to top it off, a spectacular interview on Cheddar. Crafted by the fantastic media gurus from Miami. What a collective delusion of Torvec management. Renaming the company and letting the kid drive the car right into a tree.
I deserve this ending for being a naive dreamer instead of a realist. That and being greedy. 20 years of doubling down on lies I told myself about what was right in front of me. Lessons painfully learned, but it really should not have taken this long to see all of it for what it was. The little videos where cool, the FTV pulling the Jeep out of the mud, Watkins Glen Corvettes, etc., but having cool equipment means nothing if you don't have a salesman and the strategy and management to make serious money from the metal and the investors never had that in 20 years.
