Charter contacted Mac while they were still manufacturing kits.
Charter had obviously contacted Mac wanting the technology. I will agree that Mac did want to wait until the class action was settled because he wanted to use stock to pay his lawyers fee.
Charter wanted the technology but when Mac just offered him the company, being "broke" that he was, he took it. You could also be assured that Charter had never read the financials.
