Wayne eventually joins the family’s legal team and frequently uses the USA PATRIOT Act.When Wayne and Cho asked G.O.B. for details, they discovered he knew nothing at all. Then they promised Michael no consequences if he reported his father.When Michael declined, Wayne showed the group a picture of the Iraqi mountains that was discovered on the Bluth Company’s servers, which most likely contained WMD storage bunkers.Barry concluded that the images were not of WMDs but rather a close-up of testicles when he saw them.
