This feels like it could be real remorse, and a true lapse of judgement based on good intentions. So, in the end: a story of Ilya, a truly principled but possibly naive scientist, and a board fixated on its charter. But in their haste, nothing happened as expected. Nobody foresaw the public and private support for Sam and Greg. An inevitability after months of brewing divergence between shareholder interests and an irreconcilably idealistic 503c charter.

I think we really need to see that Ilya demonstrates those principles and it wasn’t just a power grab.
You could also look at this as a brilliant scientist feels he doesn’t get recognition. Always sees Sam’s name. Resents it. The more gregarious people always getting the glory. Thinks he doesn’t need them and wants to settle some score that only exists in his own head.
