World Surveillance Group Inc (fka WSGI)

Your question is not that far from reality. In addition to being a very bright and talented guy, he is a supporter of this company.

If google is interested in acquiring the "rights to negotiate for the professional services of Argus team leader Dr. Terry Hofecker (OHIO LIGHTER THAN AIR UAS CONSORTIUM)", that would be a great thing for WSGI (and a loss to trident).

IMO, Google sees the benefit of controlled LTA flight and not relying on free floating balloons the way the Loon project is set up now. WSGI owns the IP to the Argus. I highly doubt anyone in the consortium would violate any of their agreements with WSGI.

Now that I have answered your question, I am still waiting for any independent support you have for this statement:

"WSGI took LJC's cash and didn't pay it back"

Oh, that's right, you don't have any.
