I thought Dr. Cale was funding her lab by blackmailing Banks.
I didn't think it was an odd portrayal to have Banks not be as much of a mastermind as he thinks he is. All the excerpts about how the implant was advertised point to Banks as a marketing genius. By the time the book starts, he's rich and powerful, but still way in over his head.
