Life is short for restraining oneself unless restrained by the accountants in a big company setting
and enjoying that milieu. These folks working unrelated jobs to have freedom to do back yard science
deserve respect and they will hit success soon with such a determined attitude. If not in this country, then somewhere else
they can operate with fewer alarmist reactions like yours. From what you've said, I have a feeling you want to alert some kind of
police to stop them. I hope you do not -- they'll put out a good detailed plan for investors when the time comes, and
investors won't want risk, so you have little to worry over.
