The word geek is a slang term, noting individuals as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, etc." Formerly, the term referred to a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken, bat, snake or bugs.

You're preparing to invest into a business but have not done solid due diligence on the business, people behind it or the laws that will protect you in case it is a scam. There are so many red flags popping up in my head right now, I wouldn't know where to start! My advice is slow down. Take a month or two to investigate further and check into these people thoroughly.
