The Ante story almost doesn't belong in the Circus thread. It is the historic number of such cases that makes it 'here's another one'.

Kaz's explanation and transparency works for me. He can't say a thing because it will only make a complicated situation worse - it can do nothing to make it better before it goes to litigation and is more likely to increase the sum of damages being claimed.

But it keeps the circus rolling and out of the main thread so I am all for it.

Can't quite figure the logic link here, but maybe it makes sense
