No, I think you're mistaking my tone. I was genuinely curious, because it's rare to see someone with a sure view on this mad saga! And I wanted to learn a bit more from the somewhat-less-popular side (I do think there is an odd cultish energy around Sam at the moment from some folks).

I don't know enough about Sam or the board at all, so curious as to reasons why he might be sleazy/sneaky.

The board being quiet, in my opinion, is not doing them any favors!

The board being quiet is adult behaviour. Release a discreet and generic press release then direct all further enquiries to the lawyers. That's how things should be done.

The frenzy of reporting and contradictory articles and froth and spin that's coming from the other side makes them look deranged, IMHO. It's incredibly childish and just makes it look like they have tentacles everywhere that they can drag these weird articles out of so many different outlets. It's not a good look unless you're really trying to look like HYDRA.

IMO opinion the board is quiet because they owe the media and public nothing as they are not a publicly traded company. The entire frenzy around this is seated with the employees, Microsoft CEO, and outlets looking for clicks. In a week or so when this is over everyone will see how much of a nothing burger this will have turned out to be…IMO.
