My guess is that their books are cooked to hell and back

In truth, the alleged $200k lego collection is meaningless. The real smoke is that the previous owners were strong armed out at random.

It honestly would just be franchise infighting if it werent for the fact that the ceo is explicitly running interference at every step

It seems like there is deep, deep fraud. The knee jerk reaction to run legal defense seems to me like they are hiding WAY worse
