Mindpix came off a DTC chill list a very long time

Mindpix came off a DTC chill list a very long time ago. They have been current ever since with minor blips along the way.The question that needs answering for me is this. Why would an outside investor give $450,000.00 to the company, and own over 660 million shares? That would be a stupid thing to do if there was no return coming on his investment, don't you think? I thought by now, there would be some sort of fins to look over. Silence can be golden.
