Precisely. Or when the mafia is siphoning away profits from the already weak economy to line their pockets.

Connections are what McGillis and Isurugi were effectively building up for them a few eps ago, tightly packing Orga's schedule with all those meet'n'greet events with all the big wigs of Mars.
And a guy that tried to kill you for profit and will try to again at the drop of a hat if he doesn't like you trying to bring peace and end conflicts which he profits from is probably more dangerous as a so called backer than an openly hostile enemy.

They could do the same with Teiwaz. Change from being a subsidiary under McMurdo, and instead partner with him as an equal? It would be hard, but it is doable.

I'm starting to think that it will depend on what happens to Barriston in particular and Teiwaz in general. It's not impossible for Teiwaz to break into all those smaller corporations, each with its own boss, as a result of the huge war brewing or, say, Barriston dying, his possible successors Naze and Jasley also dead, with infighting reaching the point where the whole conglomerate collapses.
