It also stands to be said that there is commonality between these types of "firms."

The two firms are essentially dictatorships masquerading as firms. What you get is a bunch of definitionally impotent lieutenants who go make deals and carry them to the 1 yard line and then the boss (Masayoshi or oliver) decide again as if nothing had happened before whether or not to execute.

Unless the bosses are the ones leading the deal, know that you there is zero good faith and a lot of risk as far as outcome goes.
