Haha. Is there a joke on HN about this? I swear every thread discussing Snopes has someone say the exact phrase "oh, it's a divorce-related issue". It gets me every time.

Searching HN for comments containing "divorce-related issue" yields just your comment and grandparent.

Ya, I made that comment when the gofundme was first posted. In business disputes I always wonder "how did it go wrong", especially with smart people like the Mikkelsons.

It's a complex problem though. Even after 30 years or so of carefully nothing 'how things go wrong' there still appears to be an infinite supply of new reasons how things go wrong.

Very true, but then there's divorce, that perennial cause of problems.
