Did word get out that Tre laid waste to Kulak in that meeting? I'm only half joking here.
I think nobody really wants to go to arbitration. If you can, you avoid that ... haggling over a couple 100ks and potentially damaging the relationship by throwing each under the bus probably isn't very tempting. Kulak probably had to in order to get a one-way (at least that's my interpretation) and got it in the end, so good for him. But I doubt it was a fun experience.
