This is completely illogical. If they knew it was going to tank, they wouldn’t invest.
As conspiracy theories go, this one doesn’t even have a leg to stand on.

Losing a few million dollars investing and getting in that network was worth it for them to try to groom Leopold to eventually sell them the private stake
