I don't know that "lie" is the right word. Maybe they expected a less cold, hard-nosed response. Maybe they expected Specialized to make good on completing sales in progress...or whatever. Afterall what company doesn't want to sell it's wares?

In any case, I'm reminded of a parable about a horse helping a snake...Maybe Mikes shouldn't have expected anything different. Spesh leaving Mikes with a bunch of liabilities just for spite? That sounds about right.
