More likely, that she just was the emu's pawn....a more than willing one, once she saw the riches it brought her...
And look, it's either a share selling scam or it's not and if it is, I don't see how 5 yrs will bring the ship in. How could it unless it's all for real? The most or best scenario I could see and I wouldn't put it last the Emu....is that some companies might get scared they will have to pay huge damages and so agree to a settlement out of fear. But the reality, it seems, is that they all have told vplm to go pound salt and still say the same. They fight only so they don't lose by default for not fighting back.
Anyway, I gave it another 10 yrs 3 yrs ago so it's now down to 7 but that's how long before it burns out or gets shut down. I've seen it before with TIV.
