It would seem, absent any other strong motive (i.e., "hundreds of thousands of dollars"), that CS is just plain pissed off that SAAC has become the real (REAL?) clearing house for anything truly Shelby. And that appears to be the predominantly compelling reason - that he just ain't respected, at a level he deems appropriate, as the Guru For All Things Shelby.
To be the Guru, of course, would dictate a focused, driven mindset that would enable one to have all the answers.....a position that CS demurred on a very long time ago. Life goes on, and there were other projects and involvements that he found more rewarding, financially and egocentrically, for him to be too concerned with achievements made 40+ years ago. Hey, who lives in the past, right?
So. If it IS the money, then it should be a fairly simple matter to go thru SAAC's ledgers and see just exactly how much was made and reach an agreement of what he is due.
However. If it ISN'T the money, then it is going to be a long and bitter fight that both will become buried in. Provided SAAC has the wherewithall to sustain such a fight. And CS has made it very, very clear that he sees the fruits of SAAC's labors over the years as having risen from his accomplishments, thereby making what's theirs, more-than-equally his. Sure, they're entitled to some level of $$ for their clerk skills, but what they derived could not, and would not, exist had he not made it possible to begin with.
