Hairy,
Mashala is no furphy....
IMO, the main reason DT joined CCC was to get his hands on Mashala. He was trying to get it before joining CCC, but the GFC hit and wiped out his investment partners. Enter CCC.... He agrees to join them on the proviso they back the Mashala deal... Win/win... DT gets his Mashala and CCC get their DT.
DT is a smart cookie, he and his henchmen know the value in Mashala....
DYOR, but it is all out there to find...
