It's a good question. I don't know. I do remember having seen some other lawyer names more recently. I didn't think much of it cuz 1) vp has had I think numerous lawyers associated w/it & 2) cuz I'm not concerned w/that side of things. The only reason I mentioned that firm was to correct something I read here. I don't even remember....oh yeah... the deal about how that firm has been & today was, associated w/vplm as a major plus bcuz of how they supposedly were the same firm to have been credited w/doing the Skype deal. I jumped in becuz I remember how, approx a yr ago, when they were announced as having been
brought on board by vp, they were touted as having been responsible for the Skype deal legal firm (or at least words designed to make it sound that way). I cannot remember what it was that alerted me back then, that something sounded fishy about that whole deal, but it was some sort of way the words were manipulative...and so I did some checking & I hope I'm not remembering wrong, but I believe I discovered that they were not responsible for being the lawyers in the Skype deal, and that it was all very misleading. I reported everything here. I remember it was a totally different firm & mainly one woman (can't remember any names right now) who was responsible for the Skype deal legal handling & I validated it w/the court filed attorneys of record. No one seemed to give a rats petoot
about it, even tho they had no problem loving the fact that we
were led to believe we hired a firm who pulled off the 8.5b Skype deal, which just ain't so. I think someone said the same thing again today & it kicked my memory of when I spent all that time working on that DD. In fact, I think that was the genesis of my erosion of trust in this thing. It was very frustrating that no one cared. No one showed me to be incorrect about it. So, if they are no longer the corporate Council for vp, esp after all that hype, mere months ago, it would be interesting to find out how long the firm was vp Councel, after the big red carpet rollout & if they left, why? There sure are alot..... and I mean alot...... of funky, weird sheet goin on w/these guys, in between the lines. This is one of the strangest plays I've ever heard of. And for all of it, I think that blind faith investors, outside of patent approval & bod, are more naive than me.
Oh & if I remember right, 1 or 2 of the members of this firm were representing a couple of the developers of the Skype thing from the infancy & stayed w/them or off & on (?) up until the MS sale. I think at that point, the developers were just a fractional interest in the deal & the sale was made by the head members of some investment group, definitely not represented by this firm. It just seems to be another another element of a series of manipulative things that occurred alot the way.............or not
