Think about itIf you were Gary, would you have done things differently? Get a sexy story,graphene, made from graphite , raise some money and hope for the best. The odds of a mine , any mine, making it all the way to production is 1 in 1000. Gary knows this. So keep the story going for a long as possible while taking a HUGE salary. If it works out , you are a hero. If not well at least you are set for life , traveled the world , made great connections , and gave you son a great start in life. Look at plastic , look at the OLED industry , look at 3D printing. It takes a long tome for the economics to catch up with the dream. This will also be the case for graphene. Investors know this or should know this but at least FMS might have had a shot if Gary had taken a reasonable compensation .
