Could be. Powerful people can be very petty, too. As the saying goes, Pride goeth before a fall…
It does but that doesn’t explain Benedict’s sickly appearance, that ritual abuse scar and the palpable fear that he’s displayed on many an occasion. As one Nonny said the Hunters (and their minions) surrounded him. Even Mama Hunter and Patrick both moved down from Scotland not too long ago. That whole fucking family is very well-connected and psycho. Benedict may worry that Disney can’t protect him from the threat that Team Soso represents, especially in the UK. Now, I myself have said that he can be awfully pigheaded and that his false pride is also an issue. Is he ambitious? Yes but he’s definitely no Clooney. I feel that OP is oversimplifying the situation to both Harvey’s and Team Soso’s advantage. But why? Because those crooks literally have their hands in everything, including pedoshit, drug, human and organ trafficking. People also forget about Redmayne’s role and his connections to Markus Anderson. How convenient to throw the bulk of the blame on their victims (like Benedict) to distract from their own crimes. The timing is suspect because they know their day of reckoning is fast approaching. Look at Killary’s current problems and follow that breadcrumb trail if you don’t believe me…
