waveduke, the fact is a lot
of milking has happened over the years with some truly obscene things which sensibly results in considerable suspicion on all things familial (and even beyond that).
Such suspicion is the consequence of past behavior. The suspicion is deserved, not the consequence irrational shareholders.
I withhold judgement on this as I do the entire scrambls property except to say that at the time it was very questionable use of resources and energy and focus and I suspect it easily could have been rather demoralizing or certainly encouraging of poor discipline.
But it may well be that the Chadder thing is normal, that the process is normal, and that it represents zero risk with potential rewards for Wave.
