Best case scenario: they get investors with fresh money, giving them a priority deal - diluting current shareholder's stake worse than 1:1 on new capital.
But that's not an option:

LOL you can believe that. AMHash itself is proof that they will stretch those definitions. Maybe they will "create" a joint venture with the IP so that other parties can invest and benefit from the IP same as it happened with the hashing. The reality is that if there's no capital to keep the ball rolling they will do whatever either openly or via technicisms or just secretly.
