How do you turn your back on $100,000,000 (or more) simply on ego-driven

1. People do this. Rossi had a grandiose perception of himself and
his abilities. From what he's stated in the past, he expects to
prevail against all obstacles, no matter how great.
2. The contract probably provides for cancellation procedure. Rossi
may not have yet provided the required notice, so his press release
means nothing. If he's provided the required notice, expect Defkalion
to say, "Thanks. Sorry this didn't work out for you. Good luck."
As they eat his lunch.
(I'm currently assuming that Defkalion has not been lying about
demonstrating Hyperions. They could have been, it's not impossible. I
must point out again that, so far, there is no reason to believe that
any of their announcements are legally required to be "true.")
