People need to stop ripping into @Dr evil As per his intel/contacts whatever you want to call it, at the time that he received info it was looking extremely likely that Smith was going to join us. It sounds like Smith changed his mind at the last second and if Dr Evil hadn't received an update just before FA kicked off, how was he supposed to know?
I respect the Doc for providing what he knew and things can change very quickly. Smith is going to the pussycats, so we move on now and put our focus on Brown and Phillips.
