DL will be out of the MMP picture for good this year. He will be dealing with other issues, IMO. BK has let many cats out of the bag.
You even said it : "a partner who makes his living screwing people".
They have a place for "people" like that. Poor Martha Stewart lived there for a while, the big house. And I'm not talking about the house in England PTSC has been paying for!
Happy New Year!
