Ford had to spend millions to get Staples to take the business after he'd already planned to take it from the existing franchisees because he leapt before he looked. Ford, being the business failson that he is, didn't really plan this out at all.

Staples took one look at the costs and efforts involved and nope'ed out of it until Ford bribed them enough to pick it up.

That's the scandal.
