I wasn't judging. I was mentioning to others what the concerns probably were. Also, it isn't a concern of "Company B" taking over. It is of the possibility of development put in the direction that best benefits of Company B as opposed to the project itself. And again, yes, the other core members can tell them to "blow it out their arse" but then you have a situation of them either going on their own and doing a "splinter" or just quitting in general and the direction is then even more put in the direction of Company B. It is merely a conflict of interest issue. Same issue in law as having attorney's from the same firm on the side of defendant and plaintiff. If the plaintiff is a multi-million dollar client and the defendant is pro-bono... there is concern about bias. Congratulations is in order for Mr. Momjian. I'm not saying he should or shouldn't work for them. I'm just playing devil's advocate.
