Just a thought.

Could this mean that the basher's bosses have enough shares already, hence Antonius' services are no longer reqquired? This could lead to many other possibilities. For example, the situation in Ecuador is about to crystalize - i.e., the draft law is good and the conspirators are about to make a bid now for ARU since they have enough shares?

This character has no credibility for a long time already, so it is unlikely a case of him not able to scare off anyone of their shares anymore.

I just hope that's the case, if so the end may finally be here.
