One could only think such a thing if one didn't know what fraud was. No way can OKC sue the PBC for fraud.
That's just an absurd notion.

You're not following all the assumptions that were made before we even began discussing this entirely hypothetical question.

I think BDP was asking is if Bennett committed fraud to acquire the team and the OKC lease was undone as a result then wouldn't OKC be a victim of the orginal fraud in Seattle.

Kerry was following, though.

I could probably come up with a good legal response to that, but that'd take more effort than I have energy for -- and maybe even some research.

I'm not asking for billable hours here, we're just walking down the legal yellow brick road and seeing where it goes.
Your legal insight is valuable and fills in the gaps nicely, but we're talking more about what would be argued, not what would actually happen or what would actually be ruled.
If the PBC is found guilty of fraud and the city is in any way harmed, then it should look for remedy. You're right that they may not want to sue the "favorite sons", but the city in no way should be waiving that right at this point in time and the legal posturing makes a lot of sense.
You're right that fraud may not be the right cause of action. Sorry it came off as absurd. I just didn't have the energy or time for research to find the correct one.
