Wow, shitty.  :(  You gotta feel for Brazilian players, not to mention (and especially!) Redbox and Meeple BR. 

It seems a little reminiscent of the hullabaloo that went on between Gygax and his erstwhile cohorts at TSR for control of the company and D&D license back in the 80's, albeit on a larger scale.  What a cluster-****.

If you read the business press, this sort of thing happens.  The Wall St. Journal is the scandal sheet of the wealthy and business powerful.
