ok, have tried my best to remove those not so related.

Basically, Alessia(delaria), the sister of Fabrizio, met Howard Wang on Odesk and think he was a solid ASIC designer, and moreover he works in a university and has connections with TSMC to get chips created in low cost.  Meanwhile she knew a Russian and let him work with Wang and just do the checking and verifying.

Agath, introduced by theSeven, had a talk with Alessia about the design of 65nm. He dropped from school and is an engineer taught by himself.

It is possible Alessia funded him with part of the IPO money, but that part is my guess and there's no evidence yet.
