John Doe was a graduate from MIT who created the main product of our glorious company, while his original prototype was over engineered and unnecceraily expensive.
his later design were absolutely perfect for our business model since they are out of cheap materials and therefore malfunction quite oftenly.
This forces the customers to go to our repair stores which generate most of our profit. Just like Bob, he refuses to accept any money made by our glorious company.
whether its due to his conscience or his minimalism is unknown.
