Del, back at the start of the project a member here offered to manage the project, it was rejected because it would mean a time scale and compromise, which seemed reasonable at the time, at the start if JW had said the product would be delivered in 2 years time, i think he'd have had zero investors.
This has ballooned into all sort of things, the VFETS being amongst them, one VFET investor posted a while back feeling he wouldn't be around long enough to see his amps delivered (i suspect that goes for all of us).
As there was no contract between the investors and JW and it was all done on the basis of good will as far as i can see, i'm not sure where anyone stands legally, i know other products have been brought to market that share the features of what the MDAC2 was supposed to be.
I know a fair few of us can simply write off the investment money and chalk it up to experience, if i was thousands in and had a set of VFETs on order i'm not sure
i could write it off, i'd want my money back, i feel sorry for the people who have invested so much.
I think JW is a good person, who was incredibly helpful to many (i'm sure people viewing this from outside would see that sentiment as crazy).
There are people on here that could help JW get everything done, like the initial management offer all them years ago, no man is and island, or perhaps it's time to burn them boots.
He should have stuck to what he was good at, helping the swingers of Newton Abbot cop off...
