I like the ML Conspiracy Theory, RA has a lot of incentive to minimize the competition, if you know what I mean. The loss of the IVAS Contract was a big blow to their egos, prestige, endorsement by the DOD would be a feather in their cap. Remember being described as the frontrunner by the press for the contract early on? Well, it was a bad atmosphere to have Alibaba as a large investor. Their ties to the Chinese Gov are well documented. Did they really think...? Yeah, RA and his ego.

I was thinking though of Craig-Hallum. Did you notice the icy reception they give Malouf on the last call? Like "Our first question comes from the line of your ex-wife." Didn't they give eMagin the lofty PT of $1 USD after that call? Just a thought.
