They never said they need $147mln. People simple throw at them with that amount of money. Now they have to figure out how to use that amount of cash (except cocaine) lol.
People are throwin cash into this icos like crazy. And most of this comapnies won't deliver any product. Even Golem said they need 8 or 9 years to deliver. And still didn't provide any iformation about current situation on market they are trying to disturb. People gave them $9mln and don't know what is the price of service they are trying to sell? I doubt they can provide computing power cheaper that amazon and others.
