So a mere Getbig-thread was the cause of this?
You couldn't respect Nick and his wife before that?
It had to boil down to a Getbig-Thread?
It was more a leveraging tactic to cover up his own indiscretions and dirty laundry. In the business world, we would call this "risk arbitrage" that generally consists of buying/holding the stock of a company that is the target (this would be Nick's wife - Joey had clearly taken stock position of her pussy already) of a takeover while shorting the stock of the acquiring company (this would be Nick - without him knowing the cards were stacked against him).
P.S. This truce between the parties is likely not the end of it. Once GB style DD is done, watch the cards unfold further.
