If this is a scam, that does not mean the assets have no value.
JBI may just collapse from a lack of money, not because the tech was disproven.
That would leave the tech alive & kicking to be re-used again with a new company, new ticker, new scam - and Heddle could make back a lot more than $3 million.
Conspiracy theory? Yes. Does that make it automatically wrong? No, but only time and 10-q's can tell.
