He went to the NZ government before starting the project, told him
what he was about to do, and they told him it was legal.

That's not entirely clear, and he somewhat obfuscates the issue. It
appears that what happened is he told the goverment he was going to
sell pulsejet technology, and *that* is what they told him was legal,
not the cruise missile project.

Then a few months later, they shut him down by making him bankrupt.

Another half truth, though I don't know if it's you, or you parroting
his half truths. They collected a judgement against him for failing
to pay his taxes.
