I'll sell you a time travel device.
If you were going to do so, he'd have already gone back in time and invested such that he'd be filthy rich enough to afford to pay you for the device. The fact that he isn't is proof you won't, of course.

except where we are in the timefork where Morrus hasn't got the time machine yet, only having just been offered one. In the other branch, Morrus is bathing in money like Ritchie Rich.
You have just discovered the dirty little secret of trying to go back in time and make money: All the money to be made is in the selling of the device itself, because time is immutable![]()
That claim would require you to prove a negative ("time cannot be changed"), which is probably not a place you want to be, rhetorically speaking.
#2 is as plausible as #1 and #3, and makes a reasonable approximation for the lot. I'm a technologist, not an engineer. "Close enough for practical purposes" is totally a thing for me![]()
Actually, #1 and #2 are equivalent. If time travel is impossible, then the past is immutable. If the past is immutable, then you cannot insert yourself into it, as that itself would be a change. Being able to travel back in time at all implies a mutable past.

I think it will at least be entertaining and maybe bring in some nostalgia. They certainly could have done something exciting then "Defend the World part II".
Anyhow, I am going to duck out seeing as a time war is about to begin in here.
