When I sold the rights to APACHE, I was no longer involved in the company going forward. Thad and Bobby ran with the deal and I had no involvement.
I promised Bobby that I would not stand in the way of a deal and I kept true to my word. I could have and Thad or McManus wouldn't have had anything...
While we were assembling the deal, I was involved to the extent of setting things up, but walked away when Thad turned out to be a douche.
Not sure how you can translate that into being"partially responsible"
For me,it was merely a paper transaction at that time.
I didn't screw up..I was out of the deal when all the crap happened.
I think you may not understand the timeline.
