shazamm, a brief answer is that IPIX and BeaMed got together via a program set up by the governments of the USA and Israel to encourage synergistic commercial collaborations between the two countries. I am paraphrasing from memory, but that is the jest of it. Any speculation that it was a scam that Leo orchestrated to financially benefit is ridiculous imo, as as is any declarative statements that nothing positive will result from IPIX's minority ownership in BeaMed for many years. As for the rest of it, I suggest that you invest the time to read the press releases on the IPIX website to get up to speed. I believe this 4 million dollar investment by Leo will payoff beyond what we might imagine the amazing StingRay laser technology reaches commercialization. NOTE: YOU CAN ONLY BUY SHARES OF BEAMED BY INVESTING IN IPIX.
