I disagree,
The issue is what
@chisdog was saying,
Ballesty had the good oil on how desperate the board were for a PR win/sponsor. It was in his best interest to exploit this and short the deal. It helps him financially a little and is 'jobs do the boys' to his mates. We critise the Lebanese for this, and then they do the same!
The 500 figure is no accident. Its the lowest possible figure that wouldnt cause outrage at undermining the sleeve deal. if iy was BELOW the sleeve deal, then that would be too hard to explain away if exposed.
It is corruption.
how would MJ feel now? they stuck with us through thick n thin.
