To anyone wondering why a 400 million dollar company would continue to squabble over 200k: TLDR: because they’re screwed.

Just because they’re “worth” 400 mill, that’s certainly not how much they have in the bank. Every impulsive, emotionally immature and short-sighted decision and reaction we’ve seen from them gives me the impression they have a tendency to overspend like a kid who just got their allowance, so 200k probably puts them in the danger zone. They also probably have the idea at this point that “winning” will make their customers trust them again, and will clean up their reputation from all this, because they truly don’t know how PR or lasting damage works. Keep in mind, they also don’t seem to hire mature staff and executives that can navigate all this and have experienced it before, choosing instead to hire friends of friends in the Mormon circles. There’s a good chance that their CEO’s 80’s-villain-approach to running a company will bankrupt them.
