You and me and few other guys on this forum are not going to create a viable production line overnight.
It doesn't work that way. VMC didn't "created a manufacturing line". They are using the same exact manufacturer HF used, paid them, and magic comes out of that. As simple as that.
You only need money. You need money for the pcb (that is the longest lead time component and that we should then pay asap), you need money to order the components, you need money to place the components, you need money to program and to test the boards, you need money for logistics, etc.
I understand that you want to see HF die, but that's not the way you are gonna get value out of it. They will have what they deserve anyway.
And we will get our trustee, there is no way in the world HF is gonna proceed by its own.
LB is not going to receive 30k chips, everyone knows it, and the "chip divvying scenario" is the worst way possible to get value out of HF. Jesus.
what are the chances that we can get our money back?
If that will happen, it won't be anytime soon, so say goodbye to it for now and hope for the future.
