      Oh, i’m embellishing. It was only illegal from a moral perspective far as i read back when it was news. Their legal team did their money’s worth and exploited the many existing legal loopholes to either take over or buyout the ownership quietly. Haven’t seen the former self-presented owners since the event in question, so either it was a scam or they were paid a lot to keep quiet. Or threatened. Regardless, it was a big hubbub when the Meta thing was revealed and then there was silence.
