"by the way, why doesn't John Bordynuik, the honest, ethical hard-working genius who --- like the heroic airmen who helped save the world from Nazism -- has devoted blood, sweat, and tears to this process ... why doesn't John just pay the repair costs out of the several millions he has made in the last 5 years??"

That's certainly a good question. Mr. Bordynuik 'generously' gave back tens of millions of shares trading at a few dollars each that he couldn't sell, to allow for those shares to be sold to give the company more cash (cash which he could then use to pay himself). Yet now it comes down to $200k which now stands in the way of this gold mine of a processor operating and he would rather let his hard work die than pony up that cash??

I guess when it comes to cash, Mr. Bordynuik isn't that generous.
