If Lars was telling the truth, then surely they wouldn't have been fucked to sacrifice that small amount of traffic and in turn would have garnered tons of positive attention and new affiliates by taking an industry positive anti-Zango stance. Sometimes the bigger picture seems only obvious to some in hindsight.
