onyx, if you read the book you will have
noticed 3/4ths of his book is about his life and the actual work he did on behalf of Mr. Hughes, which was very impressive.
I'm certainly not going to knock Mr. Hughes, but many close to him including Mr. Meheu, stated that Mr. Hughes was suffering from some problems which affected his judgement and decisions about his business and his quality of life in his later years.
In reading the book you will have also read that through Mr. Meheu's persistance in knowing what was right, Mr. Maheu was successful in the suit which involved committing slander and libel against his name. After his firing by Hughes, he filed suit against Mr. Hughes which was a bold move given how deeply connected Mr. Hughes was. Through that suit it was clear he was making a point even though because of Mr. Hughes connections, that suit was not going to be successful. As a result he lost that case. However Mr. Meheu proved his point and persistance was exactly correct in the suit clearing his name, WHICH HE WON after the death of Mr. Hughes.
