IIRC he was fighting “tooth & nail” to get out of the deal…until they made a request for some of his e-mails.

Suddenly he’s done fighting and carried through with the purchase.

(Sorry but I’m going into an appointment so no time to look up this new event…)

I thought it was more than emails, it was all communication around it?

Really wish he'd kept fighting do we'd see that.
