I want more information too, hence my challenge to Steve.
I cannot directly force the NWBO disgorge it so I did the next best thing.
But as to the other stuff:
Sun Tzu had a holistic view of war, commerce included. He viewed the actual clash of swords as anti-climactic.
War also acts a metaphor in our society that allows institutions to justify anything no matter how dishonest.
I am gaining insight into Ms. Powers' thought processes the only way someone with my lack of access can: by her observed behavior.
The secretiveness and deception are indicative to me of a mild bunker mentality, nothing Nixonian mind you, but still operative.
Then again her behavior could be indicative of someone knowingly perpetrating a massive fraud.
The fact that regulators haven't caught it means almost nothing (see Maddoff and the many lesser scammers nationwide who went down at the same time due to a global financial crisis not good sleuthing).
I choose to believe that so many regulators being actively involved there has to be a there there as far as the science goes.
Hence my theory that NWBO regards itself as on a war footing and is rationalizing its IR and PR practices on that basis whether they explicitly use the language themselves or not.
