Question to ask is why they're only distancing themselves now?

Honestly, while I feel there's probably a lot of foul play there's probably a lot of non-foul-play going on, too.

I'm sure the billionaire's club is small. I mean, I imagine if someone in my local improv community (which I used to participate in) came out as a sex offender I could probably say, "Yeah, I met the guy, went to a few parties at his house. There were some rumors about him but I didn't pay much attention at the time."

Not saying everything is squeakly clean, but many of these stories are at least plausible.
