Milton's was already fairly well off due to his previous smoke and mirrors/ failure to deliver dHybrid. "dHybrid landed a truck-conversion deal with Swift Transportation, leading to a mid-2012 lawsuit predicated on dHybrid's failure to deliver on its agreement.[6] dHybrid would eventually be purchased by Worthington Industries in 2014[7] and, in 2015, Milton founded Nikola Motor Company with his brother, Travis, as the director of operations with a background in construction and remodeling." He has plenty of assets to defend himself and clearly knows how close to the edge of the truth he can get and get away with it.
