Well, i definitely think something bigger is happening.
Too many pieces do not make sense.

The only things that really make sense are Mr Tron, Dan and Ned planned this all out years ago. Well maybe not Mr. Tron, but someone that can steer Mr. Tron.

Else you are left with Mr. Tron doing a hostile takeover.
Which means everything he has said is whatever he felt was needed to get the job done. (and thus your post is completely accurate)

But, what does Mr. Tron gain from a hostile takeover? What did he want? More money? Probably not, he had plenty, and any due diligence would show this to be a sink hole.

So, my feelings are still on a Mr. Tron, Dan and Ned scheme that dates to before BitShares. They are the only things that add up.
