I'll admit, it is rather unlikely, and I've now been reminded that the Schnee company is confirmed to be a mining company, so that part of the theory is blown (major fail on my part). As far as it being a 'cheap' plot twist, I guess we're part of a generation that expects plot twists, so are so used to them it's no longer exciting. That isn't to say some sort of big twist (not necessarily this) couldn't be pulled off, as often the subsequent effects on the characters involved is more interesting than the twist itself.
