I think that there may also be the age old issue where people see a cow ripe for the slaughter. People who wait for the work to be done, (read your groundwork, research and looking for and finding strategic partners), and then sweep in to reap the rewards. They saw your initiative as a proverbial cash cow. They hid this in the clothing of politics and religion seeking to make it easier to plunder at will. You made a smart choice to walk away, to not let these people ride any further on your creativity and hard work.

As a friend constantly tells me, they can steal an idea but hey cannot steal the mind that put it together. And truth will tell. As it has in this case. Sadly the losers are all those young people who would have benefited from the resources, partnerships, and training that would have been possible. Take heart.
