The problem I have with the scam theory is, aside from the reputations of at least the lawyers, who cordivae swears by, is the lack of motive. If this were a scam, why the hell would you NOT want to go on national media and tout your company? You can't say they wanted to sell inot the run up, becasue if you said enough good stuff during the interview itself, there would be an even bigger run up afterward. It doesn't add up. If this were a scam, the interview would be a perfect vehicle to make more money. Why would they waste it? Ergo, to me, along with numerous other reasons, it's no scam. Draw your own conclusions
