I absolutely would gain, because as someone who backs a lot of players (including Americans) it is always helpful to find out who is being honest and what the situations are in the industry.

They can then make a better choice whether helping Lock for the future (knowing the real story) is better or worse than selling their Lock money for 45 cents on the dollar and calling it a day there.

Should they put the contract they made with Cake on public display? If you owned a privately held company would you put your agreements on the table for everyone to read?
If there is enough uproar about the issue then the owners eventually have to decide if it is better for them to just be honest or continue with the vague charades, and all the while their players will get a better understanding of what and who they are dealing with for the future.
I see a lot of anger on these forums, and many have quit and moved on out of frustration, but I have not seen real pressure put on Cake and Lock to uncover some fairly simple truths of what this network is about, and honestly it is difficult to respect people who keep money on sites like that who are too afraid to ask questions for fear the answers may not be what they want to hear.
As I already said, I simply proposed a general theory that made sense given all of the recent behaviors, but I am happy to hear an equally logical one that incorporates all of them (smaller skins quitting/posting about it, Fair Play, MTTs dropped etc) with Lock as the proud owner of the network.
