What a discovery. Of course as CFO he has to sign up for the filings, but he signed up based on what has been presented to him by his controler E.G. Why do you think AAPT insists on this case to be handled in the court? And why do you think E.G. wanted to have this case dismissed?
This is a matter of trust. If you cannot trust your employees anymore then it is really bad for a company and if you cannot trust your controler anymore, then you can close your business. But what nobody can protect itself if your controler is a criminal with a clear intention to defraud the company he is working for.What will catch up in court with E.G. is the sorry fact, that he already had a criminal past with 2 reported cases.
