tbh the whole nike thing is pretty suspect, it seems pretty implausible for such a big company to do something like that. Im with Mark in saying that it sounds like bollocks. In fact it sounds like someone trying to sling a bit of mud back at the mud slinger extraordinaire...
Then again $500k is peanuts for a company like that, they can lose that from accounts pretty easy and it makes sound business sense: protect an investment that makes you millions with a nice and easy one off payment. Even less implausible when that asset is best mates with the CEO. With all the other shit thats happened, this would just fit right in with the narrative
