Well, I think he's pretty well off now. Plus in two years his AVII holdings should have him sitting very pretty. And two years is when this thing seems scheduled to click as well, so...
I think he really sees this as do-able and potentially pretty big. I think it's possible he sees or knows there's a good chance either his Trinity or Walsh's company will eventually want to buy it. And that if he can bring it into a real product or group of products, it reeally would be a beautiful accomplishment.
Although he deserves a lot of credit for bringing AVI to the point it's at today was a real achievement, he gets nothing but scorn for it as far as I can see. And that probably rankles him a bit. That's another reason why I don't think he'd do this unless he thought it was going to succeed.
