4.3B doesn’t last as long as you think, especially once you need to staff 100’s of people, the equipment and tech they need to work, office building(s) for them. Especially if you put that office and staff on either coast. They’ll burn that in 3 years tops

Would they need all those resources dedicated to just one company? I feel like they wouldn't have spent anywhere near $4.3B. Considering the investigation was started in 2021 so let's say 2 years or $3B. It seems extremely unlikely and even more than 1 order of magnitude off.
