Convincing people to throw money at them is the only thing...

Convincing people to throw money at them is the only thing they've ever been any good at, but they are very good at it. How anyone can look at where that money goes and give them their own money is beyond me. I suppose most of the people putting money into AEB don't look much beyond claims of green energy and food supplements. I'm sure if they bothered to look at where the money is going and what the company directors were doing before AEB, private investors would literally all keep their money away.

I can see reasons for some of the big corporate investments, but I can't really discuss that here. Suffice to say, some people are making a lot of money out of AEB, and that doesn't require AEB to ever produce anything. When AEB ceases to exist, some people will walk away having made a lot of money out of it, some will walk away with less.
