On the one hand, this is very hard to swallow. Elaborate frames and set-ups are common in movies, not so common in real life. On the other hand, it's hard for me to believe that Absolute would tell bald-faced lies at this point. They have so many internal sources leaking at this point that they can't really expect to get away with it.

My guess: I think Nat or Serge will be able to confirm/disconfirm shortly. Best to withhold judgement until then.
