Great post. It would be interesting if Kyle was correct and it was recently purchased and then given to the Spinners. Look at the date of the Spinner's Media Release:

MEDIA RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 5, 2007


This is totally speculation on my part, but you have to wonder if Patkin caught wind of this on June 5th 2007 of this base revelation and then the light goes off that maybe he doesn't have what he thought he had.
