You think if it worked Wong would still have denied he had anything to do with it?Where are all the clowns that were shredding the poor kid last night?
He probably implied he agreed with the agent without explicitly agreeing to his tactics.
They tried.
Ruiz called his bluff.
Wong can deny it since it was his agent.
That's one reason why these guys hire agents.
If all these quotes came out yesterday and Wong absolutely didn't authorize or approve them in anyway, he had all last night and all day today to deny them. But he wanted to see if they'd work first before he realize how big of a mistake it was.
