I understand that Weatherford had approached Halliburton about merging, and the only sticking point was that they were asking for a $5 BILLION non-approval agreement, but Uncle Dave would have none of that, and offered them no less than $7.5 BILLION, or he would walk.

Why would he want the truth to be revealed, he is well compensated, and his financial future is guaranteed, irregardless of the fate of Halliburton.
