Lots of plots and "IFs" are needed as you indicated. That said, there seems to be general consensus here even that whatever happened with FIRNA/Kent/EV was likely a bit ugly so they are already aware of some of the EV shenanigans. Add to that Wyoming, which was also privy to that name change circus, and the likely illegal actions of EV, with possibly others, and it becomes a very possible outcome.
All my opinion
