According to Edwards' testimony, at this meeting Wyatt said that 61 everything is back on track and he said basically what transpired in this entire blowup or bump, it was lawyers [posturing]. Lawyers have to justify their fees.... He said nothing changed in his mind [with respect to] what he wanted to do[. He] was still on board and he was fully prepared to go forward and bid on the stock, so we can go forward with what he had proposed in February. [i.e., the Settlement Agreement to sell the stock or assets of Pilot, see supra ] 62 JA 776-77 (emphasis added). 63 Wyatt also agreed that he had made a comment that the lawyers were posturing.
