I think SAS are going to hit the monetary brick wall. Beeptool as far as I can tell is just a manufactured deal to try to use as a reference to say, “hey, these guys are investing” to others in hope of creating a critical mass of investors. Will it work? Do these companies have any money? Is all of this a sophisticated type of Nigerian scam? Little money, big expenses and not much to show except for three test sats in a slowly decaying orbit. I have always said to follow the money trail, how much went into getting three sats up and how much was burnt off in expenses?
Without a rather large risk taking investor who has a fair bit of risk capital then it’s looking shaky to say the least.
I hope they do not end up trading while insolvent or to to get some money in on a fire sale of a placement.
All of that is pure speculation;, as I have no idea what I am on about.

Back in Feb ‘17 SAS signed a four-year procurement deal with GomSpace for 200 sats. Costs and delivery were said to be spread over the term of the contract. No mention of payment up front. We obviously have no idea of the payment terms but based on this year’s Jan 31 4C there will be no onerous payments before March.
The original gomSpace announcement dealing with cost terms is here.
