Dont worry about The Ass puppets writing anything. I smell the desperation. I think the SP (Self Pay ) Really hit a nerve. That should be easy enough to find through Data analytics.
Also, i am sure the expences were combed and mapped by Sara already.
A sense of desperatiin is setting in. They cant take it anymore, the rumor mill is running wild.
I would probably guess that Ass puppet 1 is reaching out to old acquaintances now. Testing the waters. He knows exactly what his issues are and they are keeping him up at night.
However, he is not going anywhere! or ever working for another lab. If he does get a job in the industry, it will be short lived .
I dont think he understands that this is very real. Someone will talk, for now, people are quiet, but only for now....
You have much to worry about.
