Are you kidding? That cat saw what was coming and has been skimming off the top for YEARS. No matter what happens, he's ready.
As for the "private investor" group - if they use this Equity Crowdfunding stuff that is slowly becoming legal, it'll be just perfect.
They will have sold folks on a film based on a 20 -minute talking heads preview with splashy one shot FX, then sold folks on a studio/entertainment company based on an unproduced film, sold folks on supporting their legal battles by offering "retroactive" donor packages and playing the victim and NOW they are selling those same folks on the "dream" of allowing Alec to make something completely original - which he has never done - and a "studio" that can be rented to others for making some undefined project.
It's the circle of stupid.
This whole thing with selling the soundstage/studio seems to me like a desperate attempt to keep CBS/P from shutting it down.
I have to wonder if they would have been better off just focused on Axanar, and then once that was done, build the studio. To me it would have made more sense to set up the studio once they had proven they could actually make a movie.

Yes indeed, Alec identifies with the villain in the unofficial James Bond film. That's oddly appropriate.

But it was a professional unofficial James Bond film.

and this is how the judge and jury see me
AP isn't even Donald Pleasance Blofeld. He's Donald Pleasance's character in Pumaman.
Is it remotely possible that identifying with the villain might actually be a positive sign? After all, isn't recognition the first step on the road to recovery?

It is at least admitting that he needs to acknowledge unchallengable truth, indirectly, in the dialog with his supporters. Soften them up, hoping they aren't subtext readers at all.
For the '3rd party' investors this can be a risky endeavor. Lets look at the basic math. You have to pay $12500 a month in rent, you also have electric, water/sewer, telco/Internet, insurance, business taxes, maintence/upkeep, and at least one employee to manage, So lets say its 17k a month you owe in total. Now you have to rent your studio out for the average cost of 1k a day. This is in the LA area that has many studios to rent so the competition is high. You would need to guarantee you have the studio rented out 17 out of the 30/31 days in a month just to break even . Seem like a risky venture, unless your sure you will have the clientele year round to make it work.
