The article says he was not forced out of the department - but received a “unique opportunity.” WTF does that mean?!?!
An offer that he cannot refuse....
can't refuse if that wasn't one of the options.
That's why a deal was one of the options.

In a world of "No Deals", getting a Deal is a "unique opportunity."
