I don't believe that those who are in LEDE now couldn't do anything
(that means is was dying in their hands). Actually I'm still under
impression that they controlled pretty much everything. And the part
they didn't control (what exactly?) was only important to them.
But I guess we will never know full story, unless both parties are
willing to disclose all their private conversations related to
project.
