This crossed my mind, as well.
Usually, Demoff is out there talking to media after a report like this. The silence is deafening.
I’m pretty sure that Demoff has not been closely involved in the L.A. development talks. I wonder if he learned something this week, too. Maybe not, but I wouldn’t put it past SK to play this extremely close to the vest, so that his mouthpiece doesn’t have to know all the dirty details until necessary.
