Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Herve Jaubert on trail over Exomos

[Marc de Piolenc <piolenc@archivale.com>]

I don't know anything about the trustworthiness of frogmen, or about 
Jaubert for that matter. I don't see the relevance of it, either.

As for secret agents, I've known plenty of those, and I haven't noticed 
any greater incidence of venality among them than in the general 
population - rather less, in fact. Not that that has any relevance, either.

I'm wondering about the facts of THIS case. It makes no sense to me that 
the plaintiffs would first buy one product, then buy two more, then 
invite him to move his entire operation to their country, THEN declare 
him incompetent, etc. You would think that they would have known his 
character and competence after one transaction, and would have had him 
thoroughly investigated before inviting him to establish himself in Dubai.

I have to confess that I also don't know anything about $31 million in 
debt. Who is the alleged creditor? For what purpose was the loan 
extended? Did Jaubert himself seek the loan, or was it sought in his 
name by a "partner?"

It will be interesting to see what comes out as people start to be 
deposed and cross-examined. The documentary evidence should also be 
interesting.

Best,
Marc
