OMG @ the idiot named James Mitchell! OMG!! I would've taken that $225k and gone on about my business. There's no doubt in my mind that the 7% they offered him would've been enough for him to live off of for the rest of his life. Not to mention, with his knowledge of chemistry, he could get to work on another product... and another and another and another and another...
OAN, I do understand how difficult it is to walk away from something you conceived, carried, birthed and nurtured. Even after all these years of helping build churches, I still have a hard time walking away when my time is up. It's just hard. But still... he had a great opportunity.
