yes but the interview showed that because of their lying about walt not contributing anything to gray matter except the name - which is a blatant lie, he solved the critical problem they were having and that is probably what the patent he has is related to - it shows the schwartzes are not the saints we were led to believe either.
every character of value on this show,you see their realness because you see their flaws and shortcomings, which lead to their undoing.
I see that as just being smart business people. Any company that faces the question “so it turns out one of your founding members is one of the world’s most successful meth makers” is going to be distancing themselves. If new evidence comes up saying Steve Jobs was a massive drug maker the current CEO’s answer will be as close to “never heard of him” as he can get away with.
Of course we all know about Walt’s ego, it won’t allow him to understand why they’d distance themselves from him. He thinks they should take pride in having an ex-founder that made some of the purest meth the world has ever seen. He thinks they should say that’s just the commitment to excellence Gray Matter has always been about.
I think Walt goes to Grey Matter and forces the two to some confession from them stating they stole his idea and that his family is entitled to some of their fortune which makes it legit for them to survive. He then finds Jesse and eliminates Todd and uncle Jack’s gang and releases Jesse with all the money. He fades into the sunset, us knowing or not knowing if he was going to die from cancer.
As in real, every day life, everyone has a weakness. Some are just better at keeping it in the background more so than others.
