This is excellent research and additions to what was known. The matter is somewhat more clear. I definitely detect the tangle & morass of business connections favored by those who would obfuscate by the old classical "interlocking directorate' technique.
I am not a WTS apologist. But there has been a lot of gratuitous jumping to conclusions heretofore. Feel free to "tear up the landscape" and take this wherever it goes. I rate previous work at a 3-4; this work goes up to a 6-7 (on a scale of 1-10). It is "almost there", but solid connections do not replace incomplete, "feel good" conclusions throughout. It is a good start, all considered.

"And even though the voting is by proxy, it is done by the person who donated the stock to the Society. "
It is still not clear that the donor, who retained voting rights, is "in the pocket" of the WT. He seems to have a mind of his own; he engineered the whole situation WHEN THE PRODUCT WAS NOT VIABLE. That was likely for his personal tax advantage. It remains to show a WT officer sitting at a board meeting and voting or submitting a motion for specific action. A lot more "connecting the dots" is needed here.
Who is the author of this treatise and what are his/her affiliations? It is unclear where the author is "coming from". If I read a certain portion, I would think this is a stockbroker's presentation of a prospectus. If I read another portion, I would think that it is a lay overview of a solution to a technical problem. If I read yet another section, I would think it is a religious commentary. If the author wishes to retain some anonymity, that is understandable and should be stated; but some background information would be interesting.
A comment should have been included concerning the typical WTS actions against a member who paints a Church outside the WTS organization or does other activities to "compromise neutrality". It seems that WTS itself has committed a "compromise of neutrality"; the contradiction in their policy should be made more clearly. This point was started but not completed.
How is this to be presented to effect a questioning of scruples to public view? It is not necessary to complete an exposure to demand answers and an accounting.
