The alternative to an acquisition was continued fighting on all of these fronts with a somewhat exhausted team. The team had been run down by years of fighting the "PayPal Wars." Today, PayPal is a massive company that faces none of the risks above, but at the time the outcome was far from assured. This was reversed, but the legal issues seemed never ending.
