It took some joe blow sports writer from Sportsnet about 12 hours to figure it out. Presumably, Feaster has been working on this deal for sometime. There is no excuse for him not to have done his research. The fact other GMs inquired and presumably did not know is meaningless to the discussion as they did not make it to the stage Feaster did and therefore had no reason to continue researching.
O'Reilly's agent should have known, but at the same time, it's not as big of a deal for him. He and his client would be paid regardless. If Feaster pulled this off, he would have cost his employer $2.5 million in hard cash and a valuable asset. The fact he got lucky doesn't change the fact he effed up big time.
