There is a very good reason why the two are far apart, aside from the liability perspective LOL.
It's called assets. EESO was always designed to take it on the liability nose, free of anything that could be stripped except for the huge amount of cash that was in it as a result of pirated largesse. And that money has been removed, by force, or scurried away where possible.
The two won't be coming any closer, especially now. It's time to put the fantasies away.
