Very high risk/Insane payoff (maybe).

Pretty much it, albeit I think very few appreciate how high's the risk of leaving with nothing in their hands.

  • Valuation models probably begin to break down when the potential payoff is control of our solar system as we know it.

    OTOH it seems like mere single billions can buy control over the US if you're brazen enough, so perhaps these stock market suckers are overpaying with their trillions.

    I wonder how expensive it would be to buy control of PRC in a similarly creative (but very different) way.
