Professor Koman was a biochemical researcher, and the M Nation was a land that wasn't afraid of its inhabitants having some idea, but was afraid of you having no ideas or imagination.
As an imaginative scholar, he was in the best place on Earth for someone to pay for his idea and fund him as he brings the idea to reality.
But, Koman's bio-experimental research had already discouraged three major investors from continuing their funding, and his laboratory had to be disbanded because he no longer had any money.
Over the years, he probably already burned through a couple hundreds of millions, yet his research still couldn't show any returns for his investors. Not even a little.
