More and more is piecing together and adding up. Speculative, sure, but also logical and very likely. If they just wanted a cheap shell, they would not have bought out Harvey's company as well, nor would they have had the financial wherewithal to do so. Harvey was looking for $27M in financing when it was his show. So the shell plus the company, while maybe not sold for $27M, was easily more to acquire than just buying one off a has-been for $10-15k.
