That was my initial thought as well, but after I had done some research on TF Tech Ventures (right after the news was released about 20 Million Patent purchase) I found at that time that TF Tech Ventures had just been formed right before that deal was made. And, at that time, Only CA Preston was listed as an owner or director. Later, RD and MR were added. But, I suppose some shady book work behind the scenes didn't stop this particular deal structure from happening.
Hard to find info - still trying to track it all down.
