> The Wire guys made very specific claims (where did they get the >$2M figure from ... and why would they simply invent such a figure).

Their court filing[0] says the license fee was "unspecified" and the $2 million figure was based on "information and belief" which is legal terminology used to dodge perjury[1]. If they had really been told that, they wouldn't be using terms that mean "I heard that from somewhere second-hand and think it might be true".
