Where money is involved, the intent is never purely altruistic. I'll leave it at that.

Pretty broad statement that would apply to literally everybody on the planet...some more then others...but sure...I guess....

I don't think there's any bad guys or good guys in any of this. Just a complex issue to be processed by the various parties in their own ways. All driven by their own individual agendas.

It's Bob Ross estate versus Bob Ross NIL that was signed away to a business partner.
