Assessing the mechanism of uncoupler action

A wealthy investor has come to you for advice. She has been approached by a biochemist who seeks financial backing for a company that would market dinitrophenol and dicumarol as weight-loss medications. The biochemist has explained to her that these agents are uncouplers and that they would dissipate metabolic energy as heat. The investor wants to know if you think she should invest in the biochemist's company. How do you respond?
