Yep, sorry, right there it was in the middle of the statement:
Geoff has never paid anyone in the band, including Mark Stopholese, their share of the proceeds of these sales, despite our repeated requests that he do the right thing and pay our shares.
Maybe THAT’S why… perhaps they knew (pretty obvious, right?) and were trying to get him to do the right thing and finally, they had enough and released this statement?
