However, I think that would also depend on the real reasons behind the ED vs Razbam conflict. While I'm all for supporting and maintaining warbirds Nick Grey owns the Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics. ED has been known to make 0% intrest loans to the fighter collection. It's rumored that those loans has put ED in a position where it has to sell new mods to pay the developers for the sales of the old mods.
Well it eventually started coming out that yes, Razbam had been trying to work the the Ecuadorians to get them an custom model and get it running on a customer grade free download version of DCS. That violates DCS IP agreement and is an attempt to deny them the government level version they sell to militaries. This was clearly an attempt to violate their non-compete agreement and interfere with their MAIN revenue stream which is probably not he consumer product. The fact that Razbam tried so hard not to let that part out should tell you something. It was not what was originally present as ED just randomly choosing not to pay them for no apparent reason.
The loan thing I think is an issue with people not understand how business can work. Some hitech companies and such might compensate their CEO with interest free loans with no paypack period and no interest. It's a way of increasing their compensation without increasing their tax load.
The company gets to book it as an asset, accounts receivable, and the CEO doesn't have to declare it as income as it is a "debt". Creative book keeping.
It's grey area (excuse the pun) but not particularly illegal. I understand it would seem odd to most street normies. It's not the first time I've seen it in tech companies.
The fighter collection existed long before Grey's association with ED. I think his Dad started it decades ago.
But this should be in the O'Club.
