"The ability for Ronin to control everything for $16M"
But that's what Stafford does. If you look at other companies he is invested in their message board reads like this one.
"They definitely sold themselves short....$75M LTE patents come on!"
"This company does only enough business to keep the lights on."
"This company is one step away from shut down. But nowhere near bankruptcy, so its a coasting in and getting as much as possible as the dribs and drabs get sold off."
Stafford likes capitalizing on these failing companies through his trading expertise and whatever under the table deals are going on. Stafford has a history of screwing people out of IP value.
