Yeah, but I wondered about the same thing as GP.

It’s one thing to be another voice in the crowd of people all saying the same thing (even a very deep pocketed voice) and another entirely to be the object example everybody discusses by letting it be believed that with all your billions, you’re scared too. People are more affected by things they decide for themselves than things you tell them, hence show don’t tell.

Were that to be the case, I wouldn’t consider it 4D chess. It seems like a straightforward strategy to me.
