      Sounds like a ponzi type scheme to me. The will "sell" installed existing chips to investors and then lease them back. So when the chips are obsolete or replaced, what will happen to the investment ?

      Sounds very shady to me. But also sounds like what companies do with real estate, except land does not get obsoleted.
