Who at Apple allowed others to steal some of their patents then sue them?

Who at Samsung ditto?
Who at SanDisk ditto?
Who at Qualcomm ditto?
Ditto dozens of other small, big and huge.
The problem was, when EDIG knew it was happening, had no cash to hire a law firm then go after them, but in 2006, along comes Nunally to prepare DD on 174 companies as it turned out, sold the idea for firms to take a look see, and DM offering the contingency deal brought us to the TX 7 suit.
I dare say Steve Jobs (RIP), Bill Gates as examples could not stop it, why should we think Fred & Robert could?
