IIRC, wasn't it that "Cordus Die" is some Scientology / Moonie-type religion-thing which involves giving a lot of money and power to the founder? He probably invested that in legitimate business interests (things like that 3D fabrication plant in the first future level) and bided his time until he had enough money for evil.
As for the game itself, I'm actually legitimately impressed by just how much work they've put into making the singleplayer campaign fun and different. Sure, it's extremely
silly, but it's way more fun than MW3 and doesn't have anything like the level of lazy design as, say, MW3's impossibly boring Hamburg level.
The only real false start is Strike Force mode; I get what they were trying to do (it's a pseudo-RTS where you can directly control units) but it has the same basic AI issue as
Brink; the AI has no real concept of moving as a unit so you tend to have a constant flow of single guys rather than squads moving together. Usually you just have to grab someone and do it yourself.

The first half hour of Binary Domain is rather misleading, actually, because the game is MUCH more fun than that.
