Yeah, I am not sure that that is true. Hank doesn't extend relations to others in this way unless he thinks it is going to be profitable. I'd bet money that there were private discussions before any public meetings, which is Hank's typical MO. This is what he did with Set Free, which is how he got caught with Phil Aguilar recording the phone conversation and then using it to blackmail Hank.
I'd wager that the LC was influencing PY for some time and got him to move Hank in that direction. And I am sure Hank recognized the profitability of such a relationship as well.
