I wonder who wrote the original posters article? It sounds like bar speak version of a legal proceedings with reference to "pocketing" money and "high ticket Cobras". Inducing??? That's what you do with comas, I think enticing was the word he missed in the thesaurus.
When businesses receive an order for something it's standard practice to receive money from them, usually it's put in their bank not their pocket.
Stephens post on the 10 Cobras that "are either in production or en route" was only 4 months ago. That's not years but some customers have waited years that Stephen has jumped in and helped out. He has been used to shuffling things around on a production schedule that's hard to adhere to.
