This compartmentalization is key to a conspiracy. Not everyone can be in charge. Mr. Harder works for the clients whose bills are paid by Mr. A, who works for Mr. Thiel (while Mr. Harder does not know who Mr. Thiel is). Not everyone can know every element, or give their opinion on all of it. Not every decision can be explained or needs to be. At some point, some people’s job is just to answer the phones, to press the buttons, to shred the documents, to argue in court, because that’s what they are paid to do. They are paid to do a job.
