I think I'd have to see evidence of a *huge* payment to rate the bought off theory more highly than someone who was just tricked-- and there is no reason to think the Wright would have been able to make a huge payment in the first place.
back in the 2015-6 days CSW didnt have much money in his own pockets. but remembering from some of the stuff said in court cases about who was in attendance at the 'proof event' it was not just GA and CSW
(forgive memory..) i think it was S.mathews, ayres and possible j.nguyen
we all know CSW is funded by J.nguyen and ayres in those days and these days
Probably the most shocking thing to me is that in Gavin and Wright's communication, at some point Wright started fire and brimstone-ing about patents or something and Gavin responded with something along the lines of "see when you talk like that it makes people think you're a scammer". WTF, why did Gavin coach him to scam better?? Total facepalm moment there, but I guess Gavin was already committed to the believe that Wright was legit.
Ga mentioning about 'talking about patents sounds like a scammer'.. i see that was not picked up as a hint by CSW as CSW continued to mention patents.
