he wouldn't have thrown out that 80% number. They are in final stage .
From what I understand the out of court settlement was agreed upon only because it was an indisputable case of patent infringement. IOW a waste of time to even pursue, the classic open & shut case. Since then it's evolved into a patent sale if only to disguise the actual infringement. I think FB & BB have agreed not to be totally transparent to SH on this one. We will never know the true value of FB's misdeed.
Basically we are allowing FB to save face, no pun intended. Could their rebrand have something to do with this? The infringement meanwhile will transform from major to very minor as it blends in with the patent sale. It's this metamorphosis that takes a little time. It's like the current PC ads that state how bad the opposition parties are, in the hope that the electorate forgets things like PC MPP's faking Christmas videos while vacationing during Covid crisis.
I hate suppressing the truth but I do like money. So personally I'm willing to forgive FB & BB for taking their time on this. I just don't like when someone attempts to brainwash me into forgetting, but cash is will,do nicely...lol. JMO
