B) If it's a scam, whoever sold the Kevorkians the drives are going to be in a world of hurt. Kevorkians tend to take services rendered as payment whenever someone crosses them.
C) This isn't exactly thievery; only one QMI drive was "stolen". Nearly invisible, engineer Mikhail Sergeyevich Zhukov was working on dismantling the drive, but left his mind wandering too much, and began to reverse engineer the design. Anyway, he found their was a key substance in the drive, Phenomenon-47, that was necessary for induction of quantum momentum. He filched some after being fired for not meeting quota. The ship-breakers ended up annihilating the stuff when they found it could be broken down any more.
So Mikhail Sergeyevich busily worked away at it, and created his own substitute for the Phenomenon-47, then started to build his own QMIs. He started selling them to the Kevorkians, while trying to collect money to build a test-bed. Is his version more or less stable? I don't know, and he probably doesn't either. Of course, when Yellow Song catches wind of this there will be hell to pay.
