You stand a chance of making a tidy sum, but it may be at someone else’s expense. Go for it. This person would do the same in your shoes.
You could make an unpopular decision worse by trying to soften the edges. If you’re going to look bad, be up front about it. People will respect you more for it.
Don’t stop now. You’re so close to getting to the bottom of a situation that you’ve practically reasoned things out already.
You’re astonished by people’s defensiveness today. Obviously there’s more going on than they let on, but give it wide berth for now.
What you want isn’t farfetched, but it won’t happen overnight. Think of doing things in stages and you’ll improve your reach.
You may be misreading terse responses. Admittedly you’re not dealing with the most demonstrative person, but a yes is still yes no matter how curt.
