Yeah, this is the part that I don't really care about. I mean, when I spoke with them for a few hours on the phone, they said something similar to Faraday and Maxwell having been involved in this or that. I don't understand the reason for saying something like that, but I don't consider it to be any reason to not fund them, they have their own reasons for it. I don't know if it's a kind of "we have 15 to 45 books" kind of thing (when someone actually has 8 or 10 books), or what's going on, but overall, the u.s. peeps have neat lotteries in there (or so we poor scandinavians are lead to misbelieve) ranging from 250 to 350 million dollars as a first prize so to throw 15 or 35 million to WITTS/Thrapp people would still leave a ton of funding for other projects (such as Erik Dollard (who is on Indiegogo) and John Hutchison (who is on Gofundme). And then pick up some paypal addresses for Tom Bearden, Dale Pond, Paul Pantone and so on. Call it risk-money or what you will, but it would surely sort out the wheat from the chaff very quickly - by allowing one to directly see how these people are progressing and what they do with the money.
