This is a reasonable summary, but I still don't understand the specific behavior in this case.
Stonewalling and lying are often effective for whoever's in power. Giving clear, easily-falsified evidence to everyone you're crossing still doesn't - as evidenced by the fact that lots of startups fail to pay, but this one is leading to a prosecution.

- Bartweiss 9y agoYeah, that's what confused me. Delaying tactics wouldn't have been shocking, but actual fraud seems like an enormous risk for virtually no payoff.
