While all of those who testified were not happy about their losses (one even flipped off defense counsel Jeffrey Hoffman), they were intelligent enough to know their investment bore extensive risk.
The state support awarded so far is supposed to get Magna-Opel off the ground, but no one knows if or when taxpayers will be reimbursed for their auto-investment.
And those rules seem to change just at the moment our investment and connections seem too large to make it worth jumping off to some other service, if one exists.
