I don't know if this is the last dance, but $lab this pump seems more like a self-rescue than an ambush. If they don't pump, they can't escape, and they might not even recover their principal. Theoretically, if no one follows, they'll keep going until they have a counterparty. Anyway, BN will definitely intervene with the blockade; it just depends on what Aster says. The narrative needs a buyback, but will you buy the story?
