I wasn't sure of that myself Wick. There was one PR Charles released bragging, to some extent, his pleasure in seeing the SAGA deal executed in Oct-Nov of last year, and didn't seem to distance himself from it until February of the following year.
Just from off the top of my head, maybe I'm wrong, but I certainly remember an enthusiastic endorsement of the deal from Charles early last Fall, maybe as early as July 2023. (When he signed off on it to complete the paperwork.)
