WAAAGH!!!!

Morsi was elected, no?

I have a theory that Mormonism plays a big role in BAM’s behavior. It makes good business sense to settle with the LEGO owner—they’re a 400 million dollar company, so 100k is a drop in the bucket. BUT, the top brass is all Mormon, so if they settle, they essentially admit to being a thief. Public moral failures lead to total social exclusion in the Mormon community, and I’d wager that any hint of an admission that you stole from old people would make you a pariah in the church.

If my theory is right, then the totally over the top behavior of the management starts to make some sense: there is potentially a lot more on the line for them than just some money and Star Wars bricks.

As long as they don’t admit it, the rest of the Mormon community automatically assumes they are innocent (because a Mormon would never do that), but if Amon does the chicken dance, then that community protection is shattered and he’d be cut off from everything he seems to value.
