when I collect the "Defectors" that I won in "Black Ops" tourney, the occupied / available slots do not change, in the "binder" of Special Operatives ... 

... on the contrary, the slots are regularly occupied, if I open a "Hiring bond" package ...

what does this mean? ... that you have modified the game so that the Defectors are no longer relevant for counting the occupied slots?

is it an update, or is it a bug?

thanks for the clarification.
