If I were to guess, I would say that WB did initiate the hiring of JO. After the connection was brought to light, CPRK went into damage control. It would make sense for CPRK to maintain its relationship with JO, if only to save face with a major shareholder, and possibly agreed to maintain him as a spokesman. I would hope CPRK sent WB a cease and desist order to prevent anything like this from happening again in the future. While each of the parties were put in a precarious position by WB's actions, I find this to be an amicable approach in appeasing everyone involved. Of course this is only speculation and my opinion.
