I think Mel and Malone are smarter than that.( I would hope, although judging by Malones history, we know the law doesnt interest him that much, why hes pushed the tax envelope so close to the line. He seems to know how to avoid paying taxes, and will break laws when the penalty cant match the gains. In his nature to take chances with gray areas. I agree the numbers seem suspiciously close between paying royalties, and generating extra income. Maybe they store the extra money to pay increases due in coming years. This would allow them to keep there increase consistant, and not raise it every time they have to pay more. Just a thought, no idea if they can even do that though.
