With grateful thanks to scion, some updates on the SEC case against Amyot et al in relation to Spencer Pharma (SPPH):
It's easy to see why there has been a concerted effort to suppress the evidence from the AMF that has been gathered in the WDRP investigation. Amyot has some friends in very high places:
"10. All of the press-releases and public information disseminated by the company were based on documents and facts (written messages, letters an faxes) and confirmed by a certain number of credible people (for instance the Middle-East connection was brought by a member of the Canadian Senate and Mr Amyot was always mentioning his tight links with the Canadian government (Ministers and Senators). I verified personally this link since I actually met in person in the office of Mr Amyot with one of the top political organizers (Mr Pierre Coulombe) of the Prime Minister of Canada and two prominent senators (Senator Larry Smith and Senator Leo Housakos) that spoke highly of Mr Amyot during a private political fund-raising dinner in March 2011."
and
"20.37 I ignored the previous business practices of Mr Amyot. If the SEC knew about his business practices as of 2009, I am surprised that they agreed to allow the new administration of Spencer Pharmaceutical to enter into an agreement with Mr Amyot. People surrounding Mr Amyot from the beginning and according to his own words and all of the members of his office were high level political figures very close to the Canadian prime Ministers and some of cabinets ministers and senators. This was one of the reasons that I accepted to license part of the science signed in my private Canadian company (4413261 Canada Inc) into the public vehicle that was offered to me and the scientists."
