I dont think you know how the world works... anyone here.
I would like to believe that the offer was made on the back of a promise of some form of VC funding, probably many millions more than the $2.5 first instalment promised to Kent.
The VC funding didnt for whatever reason didn't turn up, probably because of the lawsuit over OS4 and hence they cannot pay.
I am sure it's not as sinister as it sounds.
