Yes, excellent question and concerns. I know that would have me definitely concerned as well.
However, we don't know how big the potential customers are. Could this be HUGE multi-million dollar contracts?
Here is something very interesting. We know that they shipped out the prototypes end of 2011/beginning of 2012. This just so happen to be when they were also trying to get a deal with Visser.
And here is my thinking. These possible prototypes shipped out to 4 places. LQMT knows that IF they are to be accepted, they need someone to be able to build them out and ship them. Who do they go to? Well, they are going to go to Visser and use his business and spaces to do these orders
That's the big key that has me smiling. They know that IF they get these contracts, they may be HUGE and they can't wait and waste time on finding a place to do these orders AFTER they are signed. So they get Visser in the works, show what they will need to have created and made, amount of them to be done, etc.
Visser then knows that this is ground breaking contracts that will push it forward for even more in the future. To him, this is NOT a risk, but calculated investment.
LQMT doesn't want Visser to come in and make a quick buck and want HIM and HIS business to keep making all of this. Perhaps these contracts that may be signed are for 4 to 5 years, hence why they lock up Visser and his company and machines. This will ensure that they will keep making whatever it is for those 4 to 5 years (and possibly more)
So in summary. Visser knew of the prototypes. Saw projected numbers and what will be needed IF the companies decided to buy the prototypes and have them produced. LQMT then needs Visser to have his company make/produce, ship out for x amount of years. Visser then decides to invest to keep this company afloat and sees that this is just the start for major contracts
I'm also assuming none of these deals are with Apple (duh), nor govt (Navy). Even with a large investor like Visser, they may not be able to tell him anything (or maybe they can now that he is already invested)
So very interesting to see what is coming down the pipeline.
