Can someone point me to some good resources on how Blockstream controled development/bitcoin core/bitcoin devs by all the shady stuff they did? And how they ultimately got their way?

It has been awhile since I had to find this info and the few things I had saved on it didn't have this info.

One of the more famous threads about it is here ->

Was trying to find the missing piece for how Blockstream was able to dictate everything that happens, how other core devs got kicked out(Gavin/others), etc.
