I think they had to have been lured into it — suppose Bezos allowed them to intercept some fake communications wherein Bezos makes it looks like he’s terrified of losing half his fortune over something related to the scandal and his wife’s leverage — and suppose that he did so to trick them into thinking they have leverage that he is likely to cave to so that they would attack via illegal means ... The fact that they haven’t attacked him at all in the press makes me think that they are shitting bricks and that they really didn’t think he would publicly expose them.
