If he just wanted the IP, he could have just waited another couple years when LQMT would have gone bankrupt. Why didn't he just do this?

He clearly has already benefited - 4yrs have passed and we have 4yrs left..

Why did he spend so much legal effort to stop Kang here in the US if he only wanted the IP for China?

Because he wants to ensure he controls US market - notice the China market where the term is widely used but not much gumption to go after these firms - either that's because the IP of LQMT is in there via Eontec PLA(workaround 106c non-patent) or China is under different set of needs(control)

Why would Eon have forced him to sign a non compete agreement if they knew it was just an IP grab?

Because he brought the ideas and information to them, the know how stays with Eontec and via Yihao, which is affiliated. The Non-Compete actually reinforces the IP grab.

Why would he have cared to cut operating expenses at LQMT if he only wanted the IP?

He surely doesn't want LQMT to go under - if it veered this way, he would simply buy it out for pennies on dollar. Cutting operating expenses is simply a way to elongate the future opportunity but by no means is it a reason that he still doesn't have an advantage if LQMT went BK..

Why wouldn't he have taken a bloated salary like past CEO's to get some of his money back if he only wanted the IP?

Bromage got this - only room for one bloated salary..

Great questions that conspiracy theories have not been able to logically or adequately address!
