Might be naïve here but based on my discussions with Watkins, I'm thinkin' today's PR was more to send a clear message and not necessarily released to sever ties.
Watkins appears to not be asking for more than originally promised.
Seems to me Paul either has to deliver or be prepared for an onslaught of legal action for negligence, or at a minimum tortious interference, in executing this transaction.
Legal discovery will show if Watkins was unreasonable or Paul incompetent.
