It's not surprising that people on opposite sides have professional relationships with people on the other side. Happens all the time in all areas of life. I work for a company that sells the same software to multiple companies who all compete with each other in the same areas, all using our software inside their products. It doesn't demonstrate anything nefarious by anyone.

It reminds me of those horrendous expressions "is associated with" and "has/had relationships with." As in Saddam Hussein had relationships with Al Quaida. Well, yeh, they had relationships; they despised each other, for the most part. Ronald Reagan had relationships with Brezhnev (spelling?) and Gorbachev, so I guess Reagan was a Commie.

There could be something in what you found, or maybe not.
