So you think the publisher assigned copyright to a guy with a huge liability settlement against him just so he could immediately assign it back to them?

Rather than the obvious "here sign this form that says we can publish a book about this and put your name on it"?

I'm saying that the book could be his, or his agent's, initiative, not the publisher, and he might have even shopped around for publishers.

Except the facts are well known. The ghost writer who was commissioned by the publisher has even talked about writing the book.
